A few days after I was out of surgery on my spine, I had the first cataract surgery, and a few weeks later I had the second eye surgery done.  It feels SO GOOD to be able to drive without glasses now!<\/p>\n<p>Side-effect: Slight neuropathy in my right left &#038; foot following the spine surgery, but I&#8217;ve heard it&#8217;s common, and can take awhile to fully recover.  I can still walk &#038; drive just fine, but stairs are not very friendly to me.<\/p>\n<p>The van is on Build #3, using the original interior layout as Build #1, with a few modifications, which will be revealed once it&#8217;s finished.<\/p>\n<p>The OUTSIDE has gone through some MAJOR upgrades, which will be posted on my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buymeacoffee.com\/TheBrokenNomad\" target=\"_blank\">Buy Me A Coffee<\/a> site (sorry, but membership does have a few perks.). There will be a quick video tour posted on the YooToobs soon showing the details.<\/p>\n<p>The new goal is to be back on the road by the end of this June (2025) to enjoy all of the work that&#8217;s been put into my new home on wheels.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll leave a teaser picture here.<\/p>\n<p>Stay safe out there!<\/p>\n<p>-TBN<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebrokennomad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025_Upgraded.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebrokennomad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025_Upgraded-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebrokennomad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025_Upgraded-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebrokennomad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025_Upgraded-scaled.jpg?resize=150%2C113&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebrokennomad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025_Upgraded-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebrokennomad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025_Upgraded-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebrokennomad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025_Upgraded-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebrokennomad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025_Upgraded-scaled.jpg?w=2400&amp;ssl=1 2400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, this is one of those things that &#8230; <a title=\"So&#8230; Lots of Updates\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/thebrokennomad.com\/?p=402\" aria-label=\"Read more about So&#8230; Lots of Updates\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-402","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nomadic-life"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebrokennomad.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebrokennomad.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebrokennomad.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebrokennomad.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebrokennomad.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=402"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/thebrokennomad.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":407,"href":"https:\/\/thebrokennomad.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402\/revisions\/407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebrokennomad.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=402"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebrokennomad.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=402"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebrokennomad.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=402"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
