Eye surgery followup, body

Doctor office lobby
Dr Kumar’s office manager’s second book. Photo: sitting in a smaller, darker waiting room. Most people in this room have dilated eyes.

Vision is good:

20/20 right eye

20/25 left eye

Eye pressure within normal range in both eyes.

Now it’s a wait in this room (photo above) to go to a third room, the exam room where i’ll see Dr Kumar.

Comfort’s pursuit

Aging accelerates as we pursue comfort.

Don’t pursue comfort. Pursue vibrancy.

The more i sit, the more i want to sit.

The more i move, the more i want to move.

Your day is clear?

Apple Watch
November 10, 2023. The day Dr. Kumar saw something “worrisome”.

Your day is clear.

Apple Watch (today)

My day is clear but my vision is not.

Left eye is 20/400 today.

Another scary start?

Doctor exam room
Real life in real time. Walked to dermatologist. Waiting in exam room for this year’s third checkup.

Over-focusing on vibrancy allows you to be the last to feel negative events and the first to recover.

Gonna start “exercising” like a beginner tomorrow.

Atrophy doesn’t take long.

Blessed to have been in a physically vibrant state since 1999.

Now, 24 years later, it’s time to start over. Stopped working out (doctor’s orders) 11 weeks ago. That’s 77 days. Nothing.

i swore years ago that 10 days was my max. And that after 14 days, my body required a start over approach.

So yeah, 77 days.

Do the math.

i swore in 1999 that this was the last time i’d ever say, “i need to start working out.”

Never suspected a torn retina (simply from aging) could bring me to my metaphorical knees.

Yet here we are.

Note: Still have 60 days without incident before Dr. Kumar will feel like second surgery is a success.
