Georgia based visual artist. I spent a decade working in cubicle land and then took a career break to travel that never exactly ended. I support myself with my Digital Art and Photography - Do I miss a steady paycheck? Some days, yes, but overall I love creating too much to imagine going back.

I had my last checkup in 2019. No sign then. I first noticed symptoms in the right eye in early 2021. Dealing with pandemic, Mom's dementia and anxiety I just ignored it. I was around the same age as my father was when he had cataracts so I had an inkling what it likely was. Still get tired fast looking at screens but I've glanced through some recent work. Some is a little brighter than I expected but the colors were at least what I thought. 🤔 npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 @nprofile…r0j8 thank you.

When my father had his he went from needing glasses all the time to only needing regular readers but he didn't have the added astigmatism. Still even then not needing glasses to run from a burning building is an improvement. 😂🤣🤭 npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 @nprofile…z339 oh yeh mine is like that.

Using a pair in nonprescription reading glasses that belonged to one of my parents. Helping for screen time. npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 @nprofile…4t2w if nothing else it should mean I'll be more productive again. I had slowed down so much on the past year having to hunch over on top of my cintiq to see the details. Right now tho things have come to a screeching halt as I adjust to the bionic eye. 😉 I tire out on electronic screens fast right now and have to rest my eyes. Or more eye. The left still with its cataract is so bad in comparison that the right is now doing more of the work. npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 @nprofile…vr3s I'm already amazed by the details in the world around me that I forgot were there.

It does make me a little anxious to review past work. 😳😬 npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 @nprofile…z339 it was like I was telling the nurse before the surgery, the rational part of my brain expected things to be fine. My father, all of his siblings and their mother had the same surgery. Never mind other relatives and acquaintances. I know of one person with any complications and it was "just" an eye infection- no lasting effects. But the anxious part was why my blood pressure and pulse were much higher than normal! npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 @nprofile…r0j8 getting better today but the eyes tire out fast.

Also my left eye is my dominant eye and suddenly it's the weaker eye which is causing all sorts of spatial havoc. The brain will adjust but also hopefully it won't be too long before I get the second eye scheduled. 🤞 npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 ...learning spree the past few days?

Had my follow-up this morning and will have another in a week. Still a bit fuzzy but he said the cataract in that eye was particularly bad and he expected me to be much improved this time next week. 🤞 npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 @nprofile…2mxs I'd heard about the yellow-tint before the surgery but I didn't really take it in entirely until I saw it with my own eyes yesterday in the hospital. Wild on the sharpness at a distance. I'll be interested to see if I notice the same. npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 @nprofile…qhdc ❤️🤗 npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 I know some of you may be waiting for an update. Had the cataract surgery in my right eye this morning. Wearing a shield over it right now but the few glimpses I got are encouraging. In the hospital I could read the clock on the wall. I've been nearsighted since 3rd grade so that was wild. I have slept most of the day since I got home. npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 It's wild that I am having the first surgery early tomorrow morning! I'm currently at about 47% of the way towards the cost of the surgery and still hoping to close some of that gap if I possibly can. npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 Learn about art prints and more at these links: npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 I'm always up for some Autumn vibes, how about you? npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 Learn about art prints and more at these links: npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 How about something romantic this evening? npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 Learn about art prints and more at these links: npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 Who wants to go for a walk in the rain and grab a beignet? ☔🌨️ npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 Learn about prints and more here: npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 (1/2) npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 That's one thing that often feels so different when I read or hear other people's coming out stories. There was no agonizing, bargaining, wishing to be different. It was unexamined until I had a lot of alone time. npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 ...appliance? Let's read 300 reviews and watch 15 YouTube videos. Coming out, first let's read a dozen books and more. That's classic me. In college I researched and agonized each time I changed majors, but I didn't do that about coming out until 2023. npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 The unexpected haunting part watching his final days was the realization that his book and the documentary were out there in my 20's. I was in college when his book came out; in grad school when the documentary was released. It's not really a matter of "gosh I wish I had known..." I wasn't looking for it. That's the weird thing when I look back. npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 In 2023 when I was in the process of coming out, I read a pile of books including Paul Monette's "Becoming A Man..." Before reading it, I knew the author had died of AIDS many years ago but the book sample caught my attention. His writing among many memoirs and psychological books resonated. It's taken me almost two years to watch the documentary. Even though I only knew him from his writing the finality of seeing his end held me at bay. npub1csplutyddm7qhjwy8g085w0y8gwelnef0455gdtwlwyylyka2gwqgfxf5z Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈 @nprofile…ayqg Ha!

Loved the characters, but the story is very much what happens to a mostly straight friend group when one of them comes out. Less main character energy, more ensemble.
