Where I'm At In My Journey

Just a quick one to let everyone know where my health is at. I'm down 5 pounds from the other day when I posted. I don't know where it was hiding, but I was retaining some fluid. I am breathing a little easier today. Still not the best, but better. I do have some crap in my lungs, so I suspect that is where the fluids are.

Day 88. I've refilled the waterskins and gathered more grasses for my shy traveling companion. A bedoin stopped while I was at the waterhole and traded some more meat. I'm so glad I brought those trade goods with me.

Travel is slow today, but will get faster as I feel better. I'm so glad I have companions traveling close to me. I'll try to remember the food when I put it on to cook so I don't burn it again. Thank goodness Izzy didn't mind the burnt meat too much.

Onwards we go. One step, and then another, gets you to where you are going.

Hugs and love.

Larry

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
