Do you see what i see?

16-second video: Verbal summary for why i’m in this chair.
person sitting in a dr office
Two reasons for sitting here: Left eye prognosis. Right eye prognosis, including a possible Vitrectomy.
cluster of opaque floaters definition
Right eye has a cluster of opaque floaters over the macula. i can see but the effect is similar to a cataract — cloudy vision. There is a sign of a beginning cataract, but the cataract surgeon and Dr Kumar believe i am years away from cataract surgery in the right eye.

Left eye prognosis: Everything from the two retina repair surguries looks great. Right eye prognosis: Dr Kumar believes a vitrectomy (removing the vitreous and the opaque floaters cluster over the macula–and then replacing the vitreous with appropriate fluid) would come with a high risk of tearing the retina during the vitrectomy. He advises against any action now.

Doctor Kumar said, “Everything looks great. See you next Winter.”

Walking a lot is rare

Awesome workout yesterday. Felt physically vibrant in a way i haven’t in the past 15 months — since the first retina tear.

What is 6.3 + 2.5? Nearly nine miles. It’s only 3:20pm. Figuring there is more mileage in the day. Note: Pre-loaded today’s blog photos yesterday. Yesterday was a 10-mile day.

Yesterday, felt stronger and more physically conditioned than i have in 15 months.

Shortest eye procedure?

Have placed my chin on these devices dozens of times in the past 15 months. Probably ten times just yesterday morning.

Do what needs to be done.

In a perfect world, do it before you need to.

If you miss that chance to be proactive, then do it as soon as you realize you need to.

Note: Waiting until well past when you could have or should have puts you in a weak spot. Live life from as much strength as possible. Weakness will consistently disappoint you.

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.

Too good, physically

Everything matters. Nothing is optional.

Obviously, this quote is not for everyone.

In fact, if i said this to everyone i know, i’d lose many friends.

A zealot is challenging to be around.

Take politics, religion, fashion, etc.

Take personal vibrancy.

Take physical vibrancy.

It used to be challenging for me to think about and focus on my personal physical health responsibility. A busy life often makes health goals low priority.

These days my personal vibrancy mantra raises the bar: Everything matters. Nothing is optional.

Why?

Because if a panel of experts were to issue me a grade, it’d be awesome to get an A+.

Note: i’m expecting an A+ from the panel. Sounds too good to be true doesn’t it?
