Happy Labor Day. It's rained here almost all day. Can't have a better holiday than that. Although, I guess Weimar doesn't know it's a holiday. We just went about our usual activities. We had our blood drawn again this morning so we can see if anything has changed in the last two weeks. One of the things I am eager to find out is whether my cholesterol is low enough without my medicine. The doc said today that I can discontinue one of my blood pressure meds and watch to see if my pressure stays below 130/80. He's leaving it up to me to decide if and or when to discontinue the other.
I had Nicole's next-to-last hydro therapy and massage treatment today. One more on Wednesday just before I leave. It's been nice! Thanks, Nic. I've lost a few pounds here, but I don't know whether it's enough to notice yet. When I talked with Mom a few days ago on FaceBook she said she thought I looked thinner--was she kidding or serious? The doc said this morning I looked more cheerful. I thought I was always cheerful. Anyway, you will have to decide for yourselves when you see me.
I told Kim this afternoon I will have to get up when she does to do all my chores before breakfast. I have stretches, strength exercises, walking, checking blood pressure, and then cooking my beans for breakfast. Sounds like a full day before I even feed the livestock! How many of my occasional bed & breakfast guests want to join me for a lovely breakfast of beans and toast, oatmeal, ground flax seed, and fresh fruit? You can have some some nuts with your oatmeal, and if you are really nice to me, I'll give you almond milk to moisten your flax seed. For lunch we can have a zucchini burger, and some nice potato salad (not Grandma's potato salad, but tasty nonetheless!). I won't be joining you, but if you want supper, you can have some nice lentil soup and a slice of whole wheat bread.
Well, have a good evening, and stay tuned. The Weimar experience may be ending, but there's a lot of fun still to be had. Love you all.
