Visit #9 was yesterday; my 42nd month of involvement. No spinal tap, no quizzes, just blood draw and a simple neuro exam.
I told the doctor and assistant that I was "ridiculously healthy".
Assistant took my BP as 117/70 and said "Wow, wish I could get mine that low."
BP actually went DOWN when she took it again after standing up.
Usually my BP goes up when I see a doctor, maybe I'm getting good at biofeedback.
I agreed to wear the watch thing. It tracks motion with an accelerometer, skin temperature, humidity; no GPS. Things that might be a trigger or an indicator of a potential seizure or tremor... which I don't have. The watch looks exactly like the picture except with a rubberized wrist band. I wear it on my right so I can still wear my fitbit on my left. They said it would provide useful data even if I never have any kind of episode.
Not related, but the assistant is from England and of Pakistani ethnicity - we talked about
Blinded By The Light https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8266310/. I said I hadn't seen it but heard an interview with the real guy and I thought it was a fun story but "How could it be that Bruce Springsteen sings the lifesongs of a Pakistani teenager from England?" and then I realized "When I was a teenage farm boy in Iowa, a flamboyant queen from England was singing my lifesongs." Sir Elton John is performing TONIGHT within sight of the exam room I was in at the time.
