Healthy mindset

Healthy living facilitates physical resiliency. Physical resiliency mitigates stress, and accelerates illness and injury recovery.

Hurricane Idalia should have been our second hurricane we weren’t home for, since 1982. Hurricane Ian was the first, less than a year ago.

Emergency eye surgery August 17 (13 days ago) cancelled my August 19 return to Glacier.

So far we have not experienced any adverse weather. Heading out soon for the drive downtown.

Remember, virtues can’t be theory for you. Your patience is confirmed by your actions, not your thoughts, hopes, or words.

Hurricane Idalia set to hit Florida in 14 hours.

Projected to be Category 3.

Retina Specialist Doctor appointment in 16 hours.

i can wait until next week if needed should the office need to close for employee and patient safety.

Orlando should be spared.

However, Central Florida remains a potential tornado hotspot.

And so it goes, physically

Life is a constant dance with opposites.

It has been over 24 hours since yesterday’s one-week post op exam.

Spent the entire time (99%) inside.

No moving tree-watering hoses. No weed pulling. No nuthin’.

Doctor’s orders.

Note: It’s an uncomfortable way to spend 24 hours.

As they say about sacrifice, “i’m taking one for the team”.

May i ask you?

Medical doctor appointment reminder card
Dr Kumar won’t be in the office next Friday (a week from today). Thursday is always his dedicated surgery day. Wednesday (five days from now) is the next best option. i do not want to wait more than a week for a progress update.

May i ask you if the breakthroughs in eye surgery where made by people playing it safe?

Feels good physically

If you’ve ever been ‘legally’ blind in one eye for a week, you know how scary it can be to have no guarantee for full recovery.

That said, late yesterday and continuing through late today i’m able to perceive movement and some color.

This is huge because in the beginning only a week ago it was mostly dark with virtually no light perception.

Eye feels ‘heavy, watery, and puffy’ from the four pairs of eye drops every four waking hours. Every pair is a drop to fight infection and a drop to fight swelling. This is day four. Still ten more days of drops.

In summary, feels like we are heading in the right direction, quicker than i expected after four days.
