i told myself I would write every week, friday to be exact but as we know that’s not how life works. 
As soon as i decided to start doin things I love i feel like i was hit by a heavy burden. i went to the eye doctor last week thinking it will just be a quick check up but still knowing in the back of my mind this could be “THAT” appointment.
It was that appointment. my right eye is so deformed they couldn’t even get a picture nor an accurate reading on my cornea. with that being said it is time for me to do the crosslinking now or basically never! i say never because my right eye is so severe that if i dont get the crosslinking now then i will have to have a cornea transplant. im not a fan of the recovery time and all i think of the movie “THE EYE”

 

long story short im getting the crosslinking 


Crosslinking is a outpatient procedure that drops riboflavin drops(vitamin B3) consistently for an allotted time in the eye and sealed with a ultraviolet light


surgery 2 weeks from now to the day. im terrified, its my eye, humans are going to be working on my eye. i will be out for the first week for sure but after the band-aid contact is removed I have a feeling that with an eye patch me and my left eye will have to manage! also the fact that the moon phase will be gorgeous a waxing crescent (GODS THUMB) but just a reminder to me that GODs got me!
ANYWAY anybody have any words of encouragement or experiences!

Cross-linking gut bacteria to cancer - Microbiology Research

Certain strains of Escherichia coli produce the natural product colibactin, which is a chemically unstable genotoxin, and increasing evidence suggests that colibactin is associated with colorectal carcinogenesis. Previous work indicted that colibactin contains two cyclopropane moieties that form DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs). However, characterization of the structure of colibactin and its…
