This is the pic i meant to use in the previous blog.

Have never owned a new car. Have never skipped a year between annual iPhone releases.

dad

Have always purchased the latest iPhone release. Since my first iPhone 3GS in 2009.

Post Op Day 9, body

Can you imagine civilizations that could only walk?

dad

Rockets, jets, planes, trains, automobiles, bikes, boats, animals, and the original transportation system, walking.

Walking never offered a gateway to anything.

Until one day someone decided to walk away and never return.

Note: Awoke to 67 degrees here. Had to wear a short sleeve t-shirt. Why? Got to take a doctor-approved 15-minute walk.

Post Op Day 8, body

7-second video: Love the smiley face.

Move it or lose it.

Dr. Kumar said i’m making excellent progress in the week since his second retina reattachment. i literally stopped all movement except for moving about the house.

Not moving much may be sustainable to many people.

i cannot fathom not moving much for one month, let alone for the remainder of my days.

Post Op Day 7, body

20-second video: Unfathomable.

In five weeks, i already feel like a vegetable. i still have seven more to go. Pray for me.

dad

Predicting a huge smile on my face tomorrow morning when i tell Dr. Kumar, “Since your surgery eight days ago, i haven’t walked more than one mile total.”

Post Op Day 6, body

26-second video: Unbelievable.

Like i always say, find a million ways to stay motivated.

dad

You make the first month-long commitment to not exercise. It stings on every level: mind, body, spirit, work, home.

You see light at the end of the tunnel.

Then darkness.

A new commitment is expected, demanded.

And, this second commitment is double the previous.

Can you imagine?

Six days into the second two months long commitment and i’m challenged in a first-ever way.
