This post accompanied wife who had laparascopic choleocystectomy

Wheels of Happiness

It should have been done last July 10 but wifey chickened out and had chickened out due to fear of lack of recent lab findings.  So we went to a friend who is a GIT specialist who recommended at CT scan and then afterwards to another surgeon, who recommended that we proceed with the surgery  (confirming the November 2024 sonogram) because of matters that measured now at 0.8 mm (from 0.6 mm(

The surgery was performed by a veteran surgeon and former head of Phil laparascopic society,  chair of the hospital general surgery.  Who happened to be the classmate of former colleague at Jaycee, who was classmate of the H and W team of the guy (who  is the daughter of a lelong)

This post talked to the surgeon and thanked him and the Lord for having such an expert extend the life of wife.. And talked about our commonality and connection,   He is an editor, together with the husband of the sister of Jaycee colleague, of PPD (Philippine Pharmaceutical Direcotry.  Their publisher happened to be former student at MBA at a GSB

See how the procedure is considered less traumatic than open surgery.

My getting of cardio pulmonary clearance for an eye operations led to a new set of health problems:   high bp and high bs.  This was revealed in medical dx prior to issuance of clearance.  So for a week, high dosage of anti glycemia drugs.   The blood sugar went down to a respectable 5.5 mol/ml.   And then the HBP.

The diastolic was low,(at high)  however the systolic was high -  140 - 150 and had me worried.  I though my measuring device an omron aneroid sphygmo was having error.   Thus in the consultation yesterday, had my results double checked.  It was indeed high.    At high 140.    Thus the MD prescribed amledopine and today it  is 103/65.  Wow.  It should be as I do freehand exercises daily aside from biking

The incessant rain has brought unexpected health problems.  Unable to ride, unable to burn off excess calories. my systolic bp has been going up in the upper 140s and 150s.   The diastolic bp though is in the 70s and 80s.   Could there be anything further wrong with my health?

I do calisthenics though.  Sit ups, push ups lunges etc.  But still.  I pray I am still OK
