Nearly there again...

It's been about seven weeks since the procedure; the full recovery time is supposed to be between 6 and 8 weeks.  There are a few unexplainable, minor discomforts that still occur - when I'm walking.  I know I still cannot run - it's hard to describe.  But okay - I'll take my time.  Hopefully, all will be normal by the start of the new year, as I joined another gym; one near my office.  Everything else, thankfully, is fine and normal.  I have a "regular" blood test on Saturday and my 3-month check-up with my primary care doctor on the 21st.  I've been focused on weight loss and rest and hopefully, I'll be able to get off the cholesterol medication next.

It was a perfect Thanksgiving - warm; quiet, wonderfully relaxing and the food was amazing.  I kept myself in check and didn't overeat (I didn't need to); I took care of the minor tasks around the apartment that I wanted to; a quick grocery shop and having done the laundry when I got home on Wednesday made it all just right.

Obviously, I have a lot more to be thankful for this year - which I am.  And going forward, it's just a case of maintaining that proper balance, especially now - on the cusp of 60.
