I want to run

 My weight is down.  My unmedicated blood pressure is back to normal.  My pulse is back to normal.  I want to do pushups.  It’s hard to walk up and down stairs; I want to know how many of them I can run. But I’m not.  I’m being very careful.  I’m wearing the neck brace 24/7.  I’m only walking a couple miles a day (and that very carefully).  I’m not doing (almost) anything to stress my neck.  I’m only 10 days into recovery. But damn I feel good.  

The weight vacation is over.

 I gained half a pound this morning.  I was happy with my weight when all this started so I don’t mind if I gain it back.  It was fun to weigh in the 150s for a few days though.  No telling how many years it has been since I’ve been there. I know it has been 50 years since I was 120 pounds juggling rocks!
