The secret of my improving health

Heeeeeer's Stan, he is truly the secret of why I'm doing so well after haveing done so poorly. Every step of the way, even in Peru, Stan was with me fighting. When I got discouraged, he was there with a sweet nothing. When I got depressed, he was there with understanding. Basically he was there, on the phone, by email, on chat, and in person. He came to visit me in the hospital here every night after 8-12 hours of work and 2 hours of commuting. What a guy! I think I'll keep him.

Most recently he gave me a gift that I just can't believe. He sent me for a two day driving course at the Skip Barber School in Lime Rock CT. Apart from having a wonderful, fun time, I learned so much about how to drive better, how to control my car, how to avoid accidents, and on and on. If you have a chance to take this course, take it!

It was an anniversary present from Stan to me, but I feel like it was my present to Stan for taking it. Wonderfully enough, my leg co-operated, and I was physically able to do everything, although c ompletely exhausted when I finished. I'm able to walk a bit without my cane (in the house where I have lots of things to hold on to), so I feel there is definitly progress. All the other things are getting treated as well, I'm getting cortisone shots for my neck and lower back, my other chronic stuff is in control, and I'm seeing a specialist in what may be a heart condition, just to get checked out. The only thing I can't do is loose weight, but I'll keep on trying. Posted by Picasa
