Muhahahaha!!!! I've finally got some energy back, and am feeling right for the first time in about two weeks. Still technically got the pneumonia, still a little weak, but feeling good (and full of yummy nachos and tilapia.)
Therefore, I've decided to listen to one doctor (and not another) and very, very cautiously try running a mile or two tommorow slowly. It's maybe a little early, but one follow up doc said I'd probably be alright to run a little, carefully by the end of this week, and even the other said if I had to do something I'd be okay on an exercise bike. It's maybe not the brightest thing in the world, but I plan to play it extra safe, and besides, I'm behind like 70, 80 miles since I got sick.
To make things worse, I finally got the sickness weight loss I'd been looking for, and dropped the water weight, but a lot of muscle went with it. S($&%AATJH!$%t!!!!! Do you know how frickin' long I worked to build that up????? I worked for months in korea to become "mahsive." My arms look like f*#&g toothpicks now, and God only knows how many hills I'll have to run to get my legs back up to strength........Sigh.
On the upside, there's not as much of me to move around.......... Also a plus, I found out that my seperation date from the Army is almost definitely being moved up. (cross your fingers this time) I may be getting out as early as July. HOORAY!!!! and WOOT!!!!!
Better start preparing my "plan" for the sergeant major now, I don't intend to tell him my real plans, (I appreciate the desire to help, but once I'm out, it's not really their damned business what I do), but I've got to feed him something, and it's going to be hard trying to convince him I can make a living playing ukelali on the beach for quarters..........
