Moscow journey July 27, 2015

   Since my last post, I have been able to put the rollator in the car and take it out which means that I can go places by myself since I am now driving. I see small improvements in my physical ability, but I do not think that I am where I was before I left for Russia. I notice slight changes in my ability to maintain my balance while I perform certain tasks around the house for which I am very grateful.  Unfortunately, I have regained 10 of the 31 pounds that I lost. My plan is to take those 10 pounds off again.  Sometimes, I make smaller advances and later realize that I have done something without the fatigue that I used to have. Prior to going to Russia, if I made up a bed it took me 15 to 20 minutes, and then I had to lie down and rest afterwards. Last week I took a shower, washed my hair, Got out of the shower, and dressed and dried my hair. I was not tired when I finished. That is another small step for most of the world but a giant step for Judi.
