Day 486
For who knows what reason, I cannot seem to run or jog with any regularity lately. I end walking most the way this morning and for only 45 minutes. My swim was also cut a little short as I was trying to beat the lady cleaning the locker rooms. It was just a shit day...but at least I did get in some exercise.
I went to visit Mom at 11 AM at the La Mesa Health Care...nice name for "old people's home" as she continues her rehab. This place, though well run and with very nice staff, is depressing. SO many VERY old people in wheel chairs, most in a state of nothingness. They stare into space. They don't talk to each other...it's horrible. It's everything you don't want to ever happen to you.
Mom is in that same state. I'm thinking it's the pain medicine that's keeping her knocked out. That's not a bad thing. Better for her to be out of it then to be in pain. As usual, Papa just sat there holding her hand the entire time. I have NEVER known any love deeper than what he has for her.
The rest of the was just catching up on TV and You Tubes. I'm going to need to alter my life once again as the weight continues to come back. This is a tough phase.
