		<description><![CDATA[Before my surgery, I had told a group of friends that I wanted to do some sort of advocacy for people experiencing similar problems as mine.  I'd hoped to be able to do a website.  But as the weeks went by after surgery, I wondered if that dream would ever become real.  Making a website is hard work, and my vision still was not good.
