June 14 Final Update

It was a rather tough day today until about 3:00. Then it was like a curtain lifted. I not only felt physically better but it was like a fog had been lifted from my mind. Then tonight, after supper I started to fade. I wanted to go for my 1-mile walk, but felt unable to make the first move.

That’s when you have to reach down. I knew the longer I sat there the harder it would be to get going. I rose from the sofa, went upstairs and I changed my shoes and socks and went out the door. As always, a body at rest tends to remain at rest. A body in motion tends to remain in motion. After 100 yards on my walk, I felt much better and finished my walk quite strongly.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not trying to announce any great accomplishment, just highlight my personal challenges. I also offer the advice to push, even when your body says no.

The good news is my weight is back up to 151 Lbs. I’m doing my best to eat everything in sight. My taste buds continue to recover, so it’s easier to chow down. I just get filled up rather quickly.

I think I’m about ready for bed.

Goodnight.
