| AHA! Wed 7/12: I worked out today at last - how about you |
|
While Ms usnret88 was in physical therapy, I scurried next door and did several sets of dumbbells on flat and incline benches. Discovered I was able to do the same weights as before, but the number of sets I could get is much less.
Then, I scurried back over to PT to learn from the therapist how much I can do with she-who-must-be-obeyed and how much she can tolerate. We have 3 sessions this week, but she wants to cut back to only one per week with them, and the remainder with me at home and in the gym, using a program that will be designed for her.
We've been married for 39 years, and you just cannot imagine how happy I am today not only just to still have her, but have her alive and well enough that we can still do things together. I think motorcycling is now on the avoid list for her though.

| 1. Ms usnret88 just rode 1/2 mile |
|
on her recumbent tricycle http://www.sunbicycles.com/sun/recumbents/ez3/ez3.htm . This time last month she was in an ICU in and out of consciousness. I'm so enormously proud of her, and she knows it. |

that long jog really did a number on my feet and hips. I'm taking time time to recouperate.
You're lucky to have someone you love so much in your life. Congrats!
Stay healthy--both of you!

| 7. Thanks for your support. We went to the gym again about 6 pm. |
|
and Ms worked on some of the various leg machines, and then a few minutes on a stationary recumbent bike. She is determined to come out of this as close to 100% as possible.
