Ride 'em cowgirl!

[Virginia]

I agree with Howie on this Peg. You are doing great on your horse lately. I bet that horse is glad to have you back.

[Sunshine]

Good job Peg! I imagine the freedom felt riding a horse. Is it that way?

In florida in the 1800s the cattle routinely died when the mosquitoes swarmed them... they entered the noses, whole breathing track and completely covered them. The swarm was so thick, that the cattle couldn’t help but breathe them in.

I read about this in Land Remebered by Patrick Smith. It is a wonderful and easy engaging read about Florida Before development

[Sunshine]

Swam 20 minutes, 586,drove 25 minutes, ran two errands...I like IVIG

[stillstANNding]

I’m glad the IVIG is working for you, Sunshine.

It doesn’t do the swimming and driving for you. Good work.

When do you think you will be in the new house?

[Sunshine]

If the hurricanes and other issues cooperate, by the end of the year.

[Virginia]

Sunshine, are you real excited or is it a little too soon? Are you going to miss the place you have now?

Tuesday was another PT visit. It was also a hot and very humid day. I felt poorly but couldn’t think why.

It was a day to retest my muscles. You’ll be pleased to know that I declined the re-do of the 6 minute walking test. I gave it my all the first time and I decided I wasn’t going to accept the “payback” from doing it again, just to check a box on a form.

I did work out on the total gym which is legs and gluts mostly. I did various exercises on the raised mat/table. I did balance work w a five inch stepper box and finally 8 minutes on the Nustep (works arms and legs at a difficulty of 6/10. I was hot and sweaty and grateful to get home.

And, at 4 PM, I found out why I felt so bad at the appointment. I had forgotten to take my AM meds! So nothing from 10 PM Monday until 4PM Tuesday.

I am getting stronger and we proved it withought the inane 6 minute walk test. ;-)

Good for you, putting your health above inane professional tests!

And good for you on your achievements!

[Virginia]

Ann, nice going. So glad you are continuing to get stronger. Maybe you will surprise Peter and turn out to be a superwoman!

[Sunshine]

...already is!


Today I only swam 11 minutes. I sensed an imminent spasm and cut it short. Swam later than usual, and had done some extra walking for errands. Lesson learned. Each step equals less time in pool...

[stillstANNding]

Good on you for listening to your body, Sunshine.

ANN

[Sunshine]

Same for you!!

Today I swam back stroke and crawl for 18 minutes. 560 Yards. I get out when the muscles start to stretch incorrectly, as in pre spasms.
