THOUGHTS: 10:20am left house for Echocardiogram at clinic. Car battery dead...not surprised as I have not driven enough in last 2 months to recharge it. Hitched a ride with woman who saw me struggling and stressed out. What a sweetheart, driving a complete stranger to the Care Clinic! The echo. took 45 minutes. Then I was going to call a cab to get home... but decided to start walking towards home as it was a beautiful sunny day. Just to see how far I could go, and then call a cab from cellphone, when I was tired. I walked slowly and carefully and after 15 minutes, I checked my pulse and not any faster and I still was not tired and had no pain in my knees or feet, so I kept going. Then there were park benches every 10-15 minutes or so and I stopped for a couple minutes before going again. It took 1 hour, but I made it home. This is the longest walk I have taken in 2 years due to extreme pain in knees and feet. Could 22 lb loss be the reason I can go for walks again???
