My 1st Geocache find after losing my right eye!! This was my first time out hiking and geocaching after I had my eye removed 9 days ago. I was diagnosed with a large Melanoma Tumer in my right eye and they couldn't save it.

  • Has losing your depth perception hindered your geocaching abilities? Just curious. Glad to see you recovered well and was able to get back to what you love!

  • @hopelesslyinsane

    No.

    I don't find urban caches anymore, just the ones in Wilderness areas.

  • Hi I am having my eye removed in two weeks thanks for your video journals it is helping me see how long the recovery time is. I had melanoma 10 years ago and the radiation caused glaucoma so I am now taking it out.

  • @mshupino

    Your welcome, and good luck with your surgury.

    Take care!!

    Jeff

  • That is awesome.. 8 days after surgery!! How many caches have you collected since? Glad you jumped right back in. I know this is a little cliche but, what does not kill us makes us stronger. Good for you!

  • @brinelson25

    I've found around 1500 geocaches since the surgury!!

see all

  • Oorah! You are a true soldier. Keep the vids coming. Thanks my Geo-bro!

  • Thank you, Jeff, for showing us your bravery. I am older and want to push myself a little. Nothing compared to what you are doing. Hope you are doing well. 1500 caches. Wow! When I had one eye covered after surgery, I could barely tell where things were. Carry on Jeff. :-)
