Well, down to the last day. I repeated the treadmill test this morning, and doc said I walked 5 seconds longer than the first time. Big progress, huh? But, I didn't get AS tired this time, and my blood pressure recovered fairly quickly, so it really is progress. After the test, I rode the bicycle for 25 minutes. I wonder how much credit I get for the treadmill exercise, since I didn't walk outside today. The weather was really nice; everything looks clean and green after the rain.
This afternoon we went back to the farm and the farm manager talked to us about some of the practices they use. He showed us how they set up their drip irrigation system which was very interesting. He also talked about some of the particular soil amendments they use. He told us about their philosophy of using the same elements and minerals to grow their crops that occur in our bodies. It makes the food more nutrient dense, and therefore more healthful.
Tomorrow is my last appointment with the doc to see how much weight I've actually lost, whether or not my cholesterol is improved, and any other results from the blood work. One more foot bath and one more massage. Kim, Rabbit, and Greg are coming tomorrow afternoon to have supper and attend my graduation. Then Thursday it's back to Valley Acres. Puppies get ready for lots of hugs and treats! Grandma get ready for a new and healthy caregiver, and don't worry--I won't take away your cookies or your Mounds bars! Love you all. Good night.
