*regiment = regimen; excuse me! What was I thinking???
Well, Em, I have to second guess my wisdom in walking those distances for my health (and to try to get some of the weight I gained when my thyroid dropped dead, and btw I don't personally think it's come back fully). Not only does it not seem to be helping my general health, but it surely isn't helping with the weight. Moreover, it seems to exacerbate my disease, and come later in the day I start to get crippled, and by dark, I am bedridden.
Question: Would I still be crippled and bedridden as the day goes by if I wasn't walking that mileage in the a.m.? The answer is "Yes," and I know this because on Sunday we don't walk. I am still a cripple at dusk. It is either a flare-up of the arachnoiditis, or the progression of the disease. Of course, I do fervently hope that it's a flare-up, but only time will tell.
It's no easy life being a Dolfan...
