Flu, Type A

disney cupcakes
Indulge. You’ve earned it. Right?

Today is day six with Influenza, Type A.

This began on Christmas Eve “eve” (Dec 23).

So on the third day, Christmas Day, i was well into the physical affects.

Body aches. Fever. Head and chest congestion. Tired. No appetite.

Luckily, never had headaches.

Thank you DayQuill and NightQuill. BIG TIME!

Today is the first day that feels like progress.

Not yet physically at a ‘good” level. But it feels near.

Woke up at 1:00 AM drenched in sweat.

Sheets soaked. Both the bottom and the top sheets.

Cheryl has been sleeping in the Guest room most of the week.

Influenza A is highly contagious.

The first three days i thought it was a cold. We did not distance ourselves.

Last night i walked one mile at sunset.

Note: If a typical activity week is Monday through Friday (assume five days weekly), i’ve been averaging about 7 miles per day. And two or three ‘no-gym’ gym workouts. This week i’ve average .2 miles per day and zero gym workouts. Grateful to be alive and with my Family.

Your day is clear?

November 10, 2023. The day Dr. Kumar saw something “worrisome”.

Your day is clear.

Apple Watch (today)

My day is clear but my vision is not.

Left eye is 20/400 today.

Another scary start?

Doctor exam room
Real life in real time. Walked to dermatologist. Waiting in exam room for this year’s third checkup.

Over-focusing on vibrancy allows you to be the last to feel negative events and the first to recover.

Gonna start “exercising” like a beginner tomorrow.

Atrophy doesn’t take long.

Blessed to have been in a physically vibrant state since 1999.

Now, 24 years later, it’s time to start over. Stopped working out (doctor’s orders) 11 weeks ago. That’s 77 days. Nothing.

i swore years ago that 10 days was my max. And that after 14 days, my body required a start over approach.

So yeah, 77 days.

Do the math.

i swore in 1999 that this was the last time i’d ever say, “i need to start working out.”

Never suspected a torn retina (simply from aging) could bring me to my metaphorical knees.

Yet here we are.

Note: Still have 60 days without incident before Dr. Kumar will feel like second surgery is a success.
