The Best Laid Plans...
Just noticed that tomorrw would have been my 58th wedding anniversary!
Every day I mean to write, but then there doesn’t seem much to report. I don’t take any of the land trips, because it’s too complicated with the wheelchair (and I’m more comfortable here on the ship). I’ve also already been to some of these ports in previous years. I’m quite busy with my therapy (personal trainer every day, and acupuncture every four days), and I look forward to the land days to do the things I never have time to do, otherwise.
What IS new, however, is that I have been bike riding for 10 and 15 minutes at a time, managing 1.5 miles and more, but then I have to take a rest!
I checked my weight, and was unhappy to find that I have regained half of what I lost before coming on board.
The other new item is that I finally made it into the pool; I had already gone into the Jaccusi a few times, but today was only the second time I managed to actually go into the pool, where it is possible for me to walk unassisted, and practice the various exercises I do with Mark on land, but after a session in the pool, I need to rest, again. Mark thinks I am making tremendous progress, but as long as it hurts so much to walk, I don’t feel any progress. True, I CAN stand up straight when I make a concerted effort, but it takes all my energy.
I haven’t taken any new pictures, and our dinner table is not particularly interesting this segment . However, it’s a short segment, and will finish on the 29th in Mumbai. We are still in Myanmar, leaving tomorrow for Sri Lanka, and then Cochin.
I started taking Spanish lessons, again, instead of the advanced BRIDGE. The class is quite mixed, however, so I keep hoping the rank beginners will switch to a different class; otherwise, there are quite a few who are fairly proficient, and I like the teacher.
Now, I have to go get dressed for dinner; hope you don’t find this too boring. It seems a long time since I heard anything from Helga, Heidi, Marianne, etc. Fortunately, Gayle is a faithful writer. Thanks, Gayle. To Ruben, I want to encourage you to seriously study for your upcoming tests, and wish you the very BEST of luck.
Love to all, Big Ma
