a lowly engineer 's attempt at hard science reporting and digressions into a childhood ecstacy not yet lost

Still can't see, but retinal Specialist may get all Luke Skywalker on my eyes.
Alas, my IOP isn't as low as it needs to be. After 16 days of drug therapy, my IOP is still too elevated. Not by too awfully much, but a few mm Hg too high. My new bad eye is @ 23mm Hg, when my RS wnats it to be around 20. I am trying everything to get it down to permissible levels.40 mins. of hard aerobic activity each day, more fish oil, nuts, proper hydration, eye pressure specific lowering exercise, and a host of other things.I go back in a month's time. If no progress has been made, it's laser time to the trabecular meshwork.I need some new bits as well, but they are available, and should restore my vision in my better eye.Aging can suck. It is utterly baffling. My internal medicine is that of a fit teenager, but my eyes are those of a centenarian..well, not really. I don't have AMD as yet.
I am having a hard time getting my BP over 120 Systolic directly after aerobic work. My pulse gets into the 120PBM range, so the cardio system works.
Is there a reason for today's post? I'm certain that there is, but I am still sort of freaked out over my eye docs. appt., and my attention span has suffered...where was I?Tommy Ramone died yesterday. Bummer.I really have drawn a blank. Now, in Scrabble that would be good thing indeed, but not when trying to construct a blog post. Sorry about that.
