I spend the morning in my ER room with no sleep at all. Having to get up and take a leak with tubes and wires sticking out of me. And cold, I actually broke a veneer on tooth 7. It fractured and I’m a bit scared a piece may have gotten swallowed. I think it…

So this is a flashback so I remember the next couple of days. I woke up this morning after a really bad nights sleep. I could tell that I was running a fever because of the chills and insomnia. I had Sandy get me the thermometer but temperature was normal. My stomach didn’t feel right,…

I had a visit at 8am this morning, not a great way to start the day, I need crown/caps on two molars way in the back so they basically have to invert you and drill while spraying water down your throat. I think that’s as close to water boarding that I care to get. I…

Well kill may be an over exaggeration but there were actually documented interactions with the prescription medications I’m on with one of them being fairly serious. This all came to be because of an update to Samsung Health allowing for medication tracking. I put the 3 maintenance meds I’m on in and thought that would…

So my training has hit a bit of a snag in that my left knee is broke…I don’t mean that literally as there isn’t a real break but mofo it hurts. Over a week ago I may have pushed it a little hard at the track but it didn’t impact the hiking last weekend at…

So for whatever reason, I’ve taken up running. Well, it’s kind of a run/walk kind of thing. At the rec center, the track is about 1/12th of a mile which makes a nice walk-one-lap, run-one-lap kind of thing. But my old shoes were getting to be worn out so wanting to get a nice pair…

So one of the things that I’ve been doing to keep stress at a manageable level is to exercise. It started with just walking and then got to lifting weights and lastly, and most recently, situps. Situps are the bane of my existence, I actually bought an inverted bench to help with them.

Well it was just at the rec center but it was 5k and completed in 54:39. Total transparency, I did have to take a nap in the afternoon because of this.

Ok, well, not really. I’m sure Sandy and I have hiked way over 3.1 miles at once in our adventures. But this was the first time in well over 3 decades that I actually set out with the goal to walk a 5k. I went to the rec center and walked 39 laps on the…

As we celebrate another week in the books, I’m excited to say we’ve been doing a great job of moving for at least 30 minutes a day. Today we walked outside but even in the morning, it’s starting to get hot. One of the really nice things about the rec center is that the walking…
