Roger Ebert once commented about his list of “Great Movies” that each of the films on his list was a film he would like to see at least one more time before he died.
As Roger Ebert has experienced so many medical issues lately, I suspect he continues to cherish the movies and related commentaries he’s spent a lifetime collecting and creating.
I collect those kinds of things across many diverse mediums. I collect the ideas, quotes, images, films, songs, and more that I don’t want to forget. I don’t want to lose their clarity, complexities, layers, mysteries, and individuality. I don’t want to lose their effects on us.
I collect, record, interpret, & share the “extraordinaries” of the lifeforces I observe.
“Suburbanlife” is an older woman who writes a excellent blog at:

Suburbanlife has recently been blogging about her continuing loss of eyesight and the related trials dealing with eye procedures and doctors who communicate poorly.
If you are eye surgeon, or if you are a medical researcher, and you have expert opinions or resources that might aid Suburbanlife as she tries to make decisions at these crucial times in her life, I encourage you to contact Suburbanlife and offer your opinions or resources.
Suburbanlife has been one of the longest supporters of this blog, speaking while most people choose to silently observe. That she takes time to visit this blog during this time in her life, as I suspect she makes time to visit and encourage many other bloggers, is a high honor for any blogger, writer, collector, or person.
If you might be able to help her or encourage her, please do.

Onemoreoption – You are most generous and sweet to do me the honour of this post. Actually, I am feeling rather confident going into the upcoming operation. The work-up has been thorough, the surgeon forthcoming with needed information as much as he is able to be. Of course, I keep reminding myself that a degree of uncertainty has to be a reality in situations regarding life and health; however, I am hopeful while at the same time reserving a healthy dose of realism about possible outcomes. It has been a year that I have been on this journey of operations and recuperation. It has taught me a lot about myself, life, expectations and love. It may not have neen a year of unalloyed pleasure but it sure has been an interesting ride.
I am glad to have you along for my passage as a supportive, and unseen, wittness. thank you!!! G
