We are entering a phase where our days are patterned pretty much the same. Regular mealtimes, visits to the clinic for my IV infusions, short naps through the day as I am still very fatigued.

Today something changed for the better as I went out, accompanied by Sharon of course, on a 1.2 mile walk. That, plus my walk back from the clinic, is the most walking I have done in a day since being admitted to the hospital one-month ago.

Mind you, I am not burning up the pavement. For a guy who could at one time run 8-9 minute miles, walking at a 30-minute per mile pace seems absurd. But the absurdity is reality and at least I am out there. Since being admitted I have lost most, if not all my conditioning and I can see loss of muscle mass in my legs. I hate to remind myself that I have been here before on several occasions and have mostly always made a comeback. I will take this slowly, one-tenth of a mile at a time.

Be well,

Larry and Sharon
