Peaceful surrender, body

6-second video: Day before surgery follow up exam. Today’s ultrasound revealed a retina detachament — more serious than a tear.

Plan for the worst, hope for the best. Always.

When you plan for the worst and it happens, you’re prepared. When you plan for the worst and it doesn’t happen, you’re delightfully surprised.

Universal miracles

Poster detailing Eye disorders
Easy to take healthy eyes for granted.

There’s white privilege and then there’s five senses privilege. If you were born with functional senses, you can never know the plight of those who aren’t.

An eye ball is an unexplainable miracle. The eye ball is a small part of the entire body.

How does an image get absorbed, processed, and then become a tangible asset to our survival and enjoyment?

How does a microscopic sperm cell contain the architecture to replicate a similarly looking human, including everything the eye needs to miraculously function.

How does the body know your eyeball is full of blood and automatically work to rid the eyeball of the excess blood? We may never have a tear that bleeds inside the eye. Most humans don’t. But the body is prepared to react automatically should it happen. All of this from the tiniest sperm cell.

Pool time is cool time

Person in a pool
Summer mornings are perfect for floating in a pool. And a pool float beats an ‘office desk’.

A blessing is a gift, not an entitlement.

The eye doctor cannot tell what is happening. She is calling for an immediate ultrasound with possible surgery before the end of the day.

Do you see what they see?

Eye exams now include detailed photos, Before and after dilation. Vitreous floaters are the dark cloudy portions.

Do you see what they see?

Physicians are like coaches.

They are trained on:

  • what to look for for peak performance
  • how to recognize common pitfalls
  • advising protocols to resolve or prevent
  • if lucky, they get bedside manner training too
  • if really lucky, they get running-a-business training

By consistently involving a coach, we save time, money, and enhance our standard of wellbeing and perhaps prevent or minimize irreversible damage if we are left to our own devices.

The great challenge for every generation is how to stay healthy in a busy world, and, free ourselves from career entrapment.

The i’s have it

Anemia and IBD
Watched this webinar yesterday. Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Anemia. Daily focus on health is a great habit.

 

The i‘s eyes have it.

Arcus senilis is part of aging for some of us.

A month ago while in Pennsylvania, i was reminded of a light coloration on the outside of the iris (in both eyes).

Turns out it’s normal, and heavily influenced by high cholesterol.

It isn’t supposed to affect vision – that’s the good news.

Last Spring, for the first time in a decade my cholesterol was under 200.

Have been focusing on, and continue to focus on, “superfoods”, especially seasonally fresh fruits.

Note: Lowered cholesterol doesn’t reverse the lightening of the iris.

PS. 160.0/8.0
