Looking For Options Post Surgery

I'm currently at the one week mark post surgery and devastated with the results. Prior to surgery I could see distance, no problem reading road signs while driving and as an IT profession I could get through a day of computer screen use without glasses and most definitely had no problem with most apps on my phone. I needed my readers for fine electronics work and reading printed material.

Fast forward to now and I have the librarian glasses necklace. I can't even make out notifications on the lock screen for my phone. Heck, even eating dinner I have to put my glasses on to see what kind of meat it is.

Apparently my cataract eye was near sighted and my non cataract eye was far. Apparently many other 55 year olds aren't so lucky and this is how I've navigated life blissfully unaware. Well, that's no longer the case.

Anyway, at my 24 hr post op I asked the doc when I would be able to see my phone again and she said never. I'm like WHAT?! She went off and said this was all explained to you and you were fine with it and stormed out of the room. WTH?

I am due to meet with her today. My goal is to get all my medical records and go find a surgeon who will sit still for more than 5 mins and explain my options at this point.

Any tips to offer here?

Post Op Physical Activity

Surgeons orders post op were no heavy lifting, no physical exertion, and no dirty/dusty environments. That doesn’t leave much for me.

I hit the 1 week mark yesterday and have a checkup later today. I really need to see, ha literally, if this has impacted my ability to enjoy long bike rides.

Is it within expectations they’ll banish me from the couch?

Interesting Data Point

55M I was diagnosed Type 2 a bit over a year ago with a fasting glucose of 182 and A1C 9.5. I opted to manage it by drastically reducing carbs. I was already very active. I lift for 45 mins every weekday morning and log either 35 miles on the road bike or 13 miles running a week depending on the season. So really didn’t change anything in that regard.

Strategy worked. Every A1C since has been either 6 or 6.1. Here is the interesting part. I eat the same stuff over and over again. I know what my BS will be before I use my stick meter.

This week I had cataract surgery and for a week I am restricted from heavy lifting and any activity involving physical exertion. Ok, guess we have an off week.

All my BS readings have shot up 30 points after just 2 days of inactivity. Goes to show just how important activity is for management.

Can’t wait to hit the one week mark and get back at it!

I’ve inherited a SP platform with 170 TB of data. We know there is a lot of stale data. We would like to purge / archive data not accessed in a long time.

The canned reports don’t appear to have anything which shows last accessed. The PNP PS cmdlets can expose an immense amount of data but also lacking last accessed. We also have ShareGate but that doesn’t buy us anything either.

Looking at Purview next. Anything else we should be looking at? Aware of the Adv Sharepoint mgmt and getting Life cucle mgmt and retention setup.
