July has been a month of pesky health issues. My Wonder Woman is still recovering from respiratory and ear problems that completely sidelined her for three weeks. During that same time, I managed to get a contact rash (I’ve identified the plant I foolishly did NOT wear gloves to deal with) that I, urm, transferred to rather sensitive places—inflammation and even fever with LOADS of swelling, and NOT in a good way. *smh*
As soon as that abated just a wee bit, I seemed to contract what my Wonder Woman had been battling. Fortunately, we already had a plan to deal with that based on her experience, and I have been able to carefully reinstate the exercise program I had re-re-re-started. *heh*
Today: 45 minutes of sustained yardwork (string trimmer and chainsaw in 90°+ heat). Waxed my butt, but. . . 161 BPM and 96 O2 levels. 30 minutes’ recovery: 113 BPM and same O2 level. BP 134/67 (pre-meds).
I can live with that, for now. Don’t know how it would have played out if sleep had been better last night, though. (AC conked out. Sweaty time “paying my water bill” in the middle of the night, and sleep lost getting back to it. ¯\_(”/)_/¯ oh, well 😉 ).
