Coping with vagaries of advancing maturing age

Wheels of Happiness

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

To bathe and not to bathe after a long ride under the heat of the sun, that is the question?

Pasma - from Stuart Exchange

Is Pasma real from Phil Urban Legend


Nearing the end of our Laguna Lake loop ride, at the end of C6 we discussed the grime and dirt on our legs and the sand in our hair (from the water splash of tires on wet road). Shall we take a bath or shower when we reach home.

Peter says he did, but his vision becomes blurred.   Master said he did too but he gets numb fingers and limbs.  So they both stopped.

Peter A suggested a sponge bath:   face towel dipped in warm water and alcohol.

According to him, there is no pasma among Westerners or doctor.   But what happens if you fire a rock and drench it with water - it cracks doesnt it?  Or a glass that is heated and then doused with water?

Will it not affect your body?

What do you think?
