2018-07-10 Recovery Day 491

Today was almost a good day. The bad news, the diarrhea was back! The good news it was not as bad as before where I had to go every hour. Today I only had to go 4 times and it was more solid then before. However, I stayed on the special BRAT diet. The diarrhea was only present from about 11:00 to 17:00.

2018-07-07 Recovery Day 488

Today was not a good day. It all started last night when I woke up because of diarrhea a side effect
I did go for my morning walk with Dean, but it was limited to be close to the house in case I needed to rush home. I was somewhat lucky since I was able to walk for about 30 minutes and even took some PICTURES.

The rest of the day I rested, taking my medication and followed the BRAD diet. For dinner I had banana slices on toast. Hopefully I will have recovered enough to be able to have a good night sleep.

That is it for today, in summary, the day was overall a bad day.

2018-06-21 Recovery Day 472

Today was a very good day. Sleeping was not an issue, except that around 1 o’clock I was woken up by some loud screaming from the house next door. It took some time to get back in to my rhythm to sleep. I started my day at 7:00 with a light breakfast to overcome dizziness. Since the goal was to leave at 8:30 instead of 9:00 to beat the heat, it was important to figure out was I health wise ready.

2018-06-17 Recovery Day 467

Today was another so-so day. It started with not being able to sleep past midnight. I was up every hour until I got up at 7:00. The good news no signs of dizziness or nausea, the bad news the pain level in my shoulder was at higher level then normally and both of my hips were hurting. I started to have breakfast and watched the World Cup game Germany against Mexico, which Mexico won. Since my pain level did not lower itself I decided to take a Dilaudid hoping that it will bring my pain down.

Health-wise things have turned around. Like yesterday I still had dizziness after getting up which I got under control with Meclizine, and like yesterday I played it safe by having toast and tea for breakfast. The good news, there was no shoulder, hip and bone pain. My wife joined me for my morning walk through our Sterling Hills Neighborhood. I enjoyed the walk, specially since I was pain free.

Health-wise finally a change, I had a good night sleep, however, I woke up with dizziness. I took the medication for it, but it took some time for the medication to do its job. I also had strong pain in both of my hips. I had a light breakfast before taking my morning medication. I took two Tylenol in preparation for my morning walk. The dizziness was gone just in time for my walk, all that was left was the hip pain.

2018-04-13 Recovery Day 403

Today was another excellent day. The day started again with no stomach issue nor any dizziness. This morning is a repeat of yesterday, I had a good breakfast before I started to get my walking stuff together. After a short rest and taking my regular morning medication, I figured out what to wear for this morning walk since the temperature forecast was allover the board. Most of the times I get this more wrong then right, but today I was right on.
