Me vs. the Treadmill

You would think 10 minutes would be a walk in the park. HA.

I've gotten so weak and so rundown since the kidneys went. Some days it takes all I have to get out of bed after a particularly violent bit of barfing or whatever. I've got no iron in my blood, no vitamin D and I don't produce red blood cells at a normal rate. All this adds up to one sadly out of shape human being.

I finally decided to fight back and stop feeling like a sick person all the time.

I'm starting slow. It's only been four nights so far, 10 minutes each time. I've done it though, haven't crapped out or made excuses not to get on yet. This makes me proud, it's a start. It's more movement in four nights than I've done in months so it's definitely something.

I expect it to get easier too. I will get to the doctor and get the blood transfusion and either suck it up and take the 6 epo shots in the lower abdomen or the wonder shot of 10,000mg of vitamin D all at once. I look forward to ten minutes becoming 15 and so on and my speed moving up. Slow but steady.

Four nights. Viva la progress.

1. I’m rooting for you, dear!
