Three shots, once a month

An i got a shot sticker
Yes. Times three.

Started receiving three monthly allergy shots in 2003. Grateful for insurance and for scientists.

Do you know?

19-second video: Wasn’t walking the entire time. Two miles with Cheryl and then two more in the yard, moving water hoses from time to time.

Know your basic numbers.

dad

Do you know your average resting heart rate?

Do you know your average nightly sleep hours?

Do you know your body weight average for the past month, past six months, past decade?

What if you did?

Bonus: Do you know what month your next year’s annual physical is? (and did you have this year’s already and did the results please you?)

Cheryl gave me this gift

Glacier National Park social media photos
Been here a bunch of times. Never with snow. It’s a low elevation trailhead. Maybe five miles round trip.

Grateful to be alive. Grateful to have one good eye.

dad

Cheryl sent this screen shot yesterday.

It’s still possible to hike in Glacier even though Sun Road is closed for the season (which lasts roughly eight months).

Hoping to get out there before year end. Should be medically cleared to fly in 12 days.

dad

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.

You did a thing, body

Apple alarm clock
Seven hours sleep is pretty good.
New moon photograph from my phone
Fast forward to last night, we had time for an evening walk in our community.

Stay focused. Try not to rush.

dad

Takes a lot longer if you drive the speed limit.

No one knows what i’m talking about.

Why?

Because no one drives the speed limit.
