Upward and onward!
This morning was action
packed.
It began with the pole people
here to change out our telephone pole for a newer one that was in better shape
and hopefully will last through the up and coming hurricane season in about six
weeks.
Good thing too, since if it
fell, it could end up falling on our house!
They knocked on our front
door just before nine A.M. to let us know that we would be without power for a
couple of hours in about an hour from then.
And so I got into the shower
due to needing to use the hair dryer for my wet hair since today was a rehab
day. Yes, I showered before since with what I am doing so far I do not get all
sweaty and I can recall that warming up muscles before doing strenuous
activities was recommended in my previous training to prevent injury. And yes,
that usually does mean two showers may very well be taken in the future if I
ever get to the point of building up a sweat, one can only hope I will get to
that point!
I must admit I am more than
proud to announce that I did do very good today, just my second…drum roll please… I
did five whole minutes on the arm-cycle and twenty-five reps on the slant
board!
At this rate I may get to run
that 5K within the year, or two? Wouldn’t that be a heck of a comeback?
Actually, I have this more
realistic idea to get myself back in shape for our fiftieth anniversary in a
little more than seven years.
I know it could go the other
way and fast, especially if I overdue and set myself back.
The reason that I have given
myself so many years, which to many might sound ridiculously and an under expectation
wise, but it took me about that long to get into this predicament and I thought
it only fair to think that I should take that long to get out of it?
Of course I would be very
happy if I can accelerate the whole process, but with the MS heat sensitivity I
truly feel taking it slow may be more prudently appropriate and make me
succeed.
