It has been raining straight for almost a week.  Cant bike yet.   With medical diagnosis and the weather, it is safe to stay at home

Diagnosed with HBP, and clinically blind

Wheels of Happiness

This post was sad because the DX of the optha last Saturday was that HBP caused my bloodshot eyes and which I said was not plausible since my bp when I see my family doctor was in the range 110 to 120/60 -80.  She took my bp and it was 140/90.  It was high (maybe for waiting for 2 1/2 hours before she arrived. and 1 hour waiting for my turn .  I was 9th of the 11 patients.  And having not read the rest of the chart, that I was clinically blind and should be careful with my biking

This post hypothesized with the doctor that maybe this post feasted too much during the birthday bash:  2 pcs of crispy pata and two cups of bulalo and 2 pcs of beef.

She referred me to my family doctor, her colleague in the business, for check up and monitoring, preparatory for eye operation for lens installation etc.


And so I had to borrow a digital sphygmo from my daughter to check:

      Last night:    134/80
      Today            117/71

Is it hbp.?

Because of her dx, I refrained from biking until I was sure that I did not have hbp, and that my vision would not put me at risk
