Eye surgery update, body

Walked four miles yesterday.

Slowly.

No exertion.

Couch potato pace.

Decided to water the palm trees, without exerting myself. Another four miles walking without leaving our yard.

This morning Cheryl and i walked four miles together. Same drill, slow pace.

Another four miles in the yard.

Back to back eight-mile days.

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.

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?

Dr Kumar does surgeries on Thursdays.

After Monday’s loss of sight and a walk-in visit to my local Eye Doctor, it was fate that led directly to Dr Kumar late Monday afternoon.
