The scale confirmed 5 lbs lost - yeah! Rode 3.5 miles on the bike yesterday and 17.5 minutes. Since we've only been doing this 8 days, I'm pretty pleased with the results. The first day I did the bike ride I could only ride for 2 minutes before my legs gave out. The half hour recommended by the doctor doesn't seem so daunting anymore. Jim's encouraged as well. The first day he walked the track he could only do 2 laps and had to stop several times and rest. Yesterday he did 4 laps around the track plus his strength training. I've noticed a little spring in his step. If he keeps this up he'll have his little strut back - I love that little strut. :>) This whole get healthy idea is a winner.
Becky came to Rio Vista yesterday to take care of Kathy. We're really appreciative when another family member steps up. Thanks Becky. As I understand it, Becky and Kathy ended up going to Vallejo to the emergency room at the recommendation of the visiting nurse. I don't have the story on what transpired there, but they sent Kathy home with an appointment to see her surgeon on Wednesday. I hope this visiting nurse isn't just another wacko like the last one she had.
We have a firm move date for Kathy - December 12/13. So much has to be done between now and then. Hopefully, Kathy will be well enough to make the move. She doesn't have to physically help with the move, but it would be nice if she is mobile enough to take care of her needs when she gets to Jim and Terri's. I'm sure the family will pitch in and get her settled quickly.
On a cheerful note...booked our cruise to Mexico yesterday. We leave on Jan 2 on Holland America's Oosterdam for 7 days . We've sailed on that ship twice before and really like it. We've booked a mini suite which should be terrific. Early January usually has terrible weather and with luck, we'll miss most of that.
That's our news - time to get on the bike.
