Here is how my daily schedule looked like for a while.
Get up, work for 2 hours, drive 20 miles to the hospital, get zapped, drive 20 miles back. Work .. sometimes take a nap.
I tried to keep up my workout schedule but the driving in the middle of day sapped some energy and time resources even though my mom had been visiting and had relieved me from all housework(shopping! cooking ! tidying) for 3 weeks.
After my 6 weeks post surgery exercise limit was lifted off I changed my radiation session to the mornings and am hoping to go rowing before I get zapped everymorning, since I am already driving all the way up there might as well makethe most of it.
I have been riding thursday evenings with Z and Penny and some of the bobbies in winderemere(27 mile ride) and also try to ride a 30 miler on the weekends. Since my weight is a bit on the heavy side to run, I have been walking ( 163 pounds.. from 146 in August). Started going to weightwatcher meetings that program got me on track always in the past so it should to again now.
No swimming yet since the skin is really sensitive due to radiation I do not want it to blister or act up and have to give a break to radiation.
The sleep problem finally has been resolved by taking Ambien Cr, I hope I am not sleep driving/eating !! It gave me a headache the first day I took it since I had to get up and did not get 8 hours of sleep. But this was the best med so far. Even the nightsweats are not waking me up.
My car is trying to die on me but I am adamant in making it live ! It had poured oil in the driveway changed the gasket cover, changed the spark plugs. Now the gasket chain ?? blew out. I am figuring that if it starts to cost more than 200 usd/month on a regular basis then i am reading to part with it. I can not affort a new one of those and really did not like any of the cars in the market within my price range. If I have to I probably will go with Scion TC. Drove a Scion Xb yesterday, although the boxy look certainly leaves much to be desired the interior was really nice. Road handling and stability though are far off from my dear TG and since they are a high demand car the finance options are not that desirable.
We went to Fort Lauderdale with family and my mom overnight it was really nice, we stayed at the Gallery One Double Tree Guess Suites was perfect with a view of the Marina and the Ocean.
