Hi everyone, another day of recuperation is drawing to an end. Renee and I went over to rehab this morning at 9:00. They switched my time from 8:00 and I think that is going to work better. Traffic was better and the rehab office wasn't as busy at that time. My blood pressure was low this morning and I was a bit light headed while walking but I did complete my 30 minutes on the treadmill. They told me to try and up my fluid intake today in hopes of improving my blood pressure. So that is my goal today - drink more! We also went and sat outside for awhile this afternoon which helped my spirits. I got to pet a little Shih-tzu while out there and it made me miss Sherman. I can't wait until he will be able to come stay with me! At dinner time, we went downstairs and had a BBQ sandwich, baked beans, and chips as part of the hotel's social hour. It was good, but my sense of taste is still so crappy, nothing tastes quite right and I can't eat much at once. Hopefully that will improve soon. I want to enjoy food again!
Here are a few pics from recent days:

Noticed that you got to wear your derby shirt. I am sure it feels good to wear regular clothes again! Hope your food will taste "normal" soon -at least you can eat it now:) Talk to you soon!
ReplyDeleteLove the pics, Lisa! You look awesome! Keep up the great work on the treadmill -- Look at you - you are outdoing so many couch potatoes!
ReplyDeleteFollowing my surgeries, I found the rehab to bring me to the best shape ever! I even became a runner after rehab and now with every run, I tell myself... "Look at me go!" So very thankful for each day! And now, look at you, Back in the Saddle Again!! (Love that Steven Tyler!)
