Gym again! 4/29/2017

I have decided that wearing a patch on one eye is more disconcerting than seeing double, so I didn't wear it at all today, and it felt better. Seeing double is better than losing depth perception.
For the first time since December, I went to the gym with Ray. I did .4 mile (woo-hoo! --gotta work back up to at least 10 times that!) on the treadmill, and did some recumbent bike, stretching, and a few upper body weights.
The free weights are hard, because I can only hold them with 2 fingers of my left hand-- my right hand is OK. I feel so pathetic hoisting 3# weights. But, as the saying goes,  a trip of 1000 miles starts with a few steps. Ray monitors my form as I lift.
I even went in the pool today--it felt great! pix at https://goo.gl/photos/4rjXhdSmXYpH6hA56. I'm still losing weight (the vasculitis) and look like a stick (or as Larry would call me "Bones"). I feel like I'm always eating (thanks Prednisone)...
Anyway, I've got to say that it feels good to be getting out again...
