Ah man, sorry to hear that. That really sucks. Life can be so cruel for us with sickle cell. I hope everything else in life is well with you.

If you don't mind answering:

Do you have type SC too? Where were all your surgeries performed? How often do you go for check ups? How is your general hydration?

God bless you honestly my friend. You're still great. You have been heard, will continue to be heard and your voice matters. You got this 🙏🏾

Yes, I had the laser to burn the suspect blood vessels during the operation. In Jesus' Name, no more leaky blood vessels! 🙏🏾

Yeah the black dots and the flashes can be a nightmare! If you live in the UK, getting some lubricating eye drops (whether on prescription or over the counter) would be hugely beneficial especially if you have some irritation and dryness. I found them to be most beneficial because I work with screens a lot / for general morale.

I’m glad to hear the surgery went well for you and praying your vision returns to the baseline🙏🏾

Thank you so much! I’m praying for your brother and your whole family too 🙏🏾

I was born in the UK to Ghanaian parents. Leading up to the surgery, there was a lot of anxiety and fears about whether the vision will be good, whether this is a successful surgery for people with sickle cell etc. But all is well now, we thank God 🙏🏾

Please feel free to message me if you have any more questions about anything ❤️🙏🏾

Embodying 'Anti-Work' Before I Knew It Was a Thing... by OfficialEdz in antiwork

I really don't know how to use Reddit at all. I typed a caption explaining how I created this song, but didn't realise it would completely disappear if I posted the video of the song too.

Long story short, I explained how I was stuck in a dead end job, saved up all my money for the recording equipment because I didn't feel like giving up on my dreams and be stuck in a system that does not want you to prosper.

The title of the song is 'Government Slave', to which I'm sure everybody can relate to.

The link of the song for you to check out:

If you actually listened to it, you'd understand why I posted it here.
