Today I fully intended to continue my DDPY exercise but the day did not go as planned. I woke up early because I had an appointment to get a new passport during my lunch hour so I wanted to get an early start before work so I could meditate again (I started TM again yesterday … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 82
In my other post, I mentioned that once again my plantar fascia popped leaving me unable to walk much.

Yesterday after I was done with the elliptical, I felt something off with my left foot. It was the same kind of pain I had before my plantar fascia popped in 2023 which left me using a walker, then a cane and with issues wearing any shoes other than sneakers until this year.

However, I do have a hyperplasia mucosal lump or inflamed hyperplastic polyp in my bum which she said happens to many people and may or … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 76: Colonoscopy Results

She confirmed that the high level of calprotectin which signals intestinal inflammation, does indeed point to Crohn's Disease, but she told me she's not 100 percent convinced because my last two colonoscopies did not show anything other than mild … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 72: Another Colonoscopy
As I mentioned in previous posts, these past few months have been a struggle. The most recent issue I was dealing with was the Barrett's Esophagus that came up in the labs from the endoscopy. Then I had blood and stools tests done to check my vitamins levels and to see if I have C-Diff … Continue reading The Struggle to Deal with Tough Days
The past few days have been interesting to say the least. Last Friday I left after work and went downtown to do a little Christmas shopping, then with heavy cumbersome bags (heavy for me is anything between 5 and 10 pounds) I walked over to Trader Joe's to get some cocoa powder I needed to … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 69: Taking Advantage of the Energy
