43 weeks post-op!

I'm as strong as ever before!

I'm grateful for my life and all the opportunities afforded to me. I'm thankful for my family, my friends, my health.

I did a trial class of yoga and core conditioning with Katya from work a couple weeks ago.

"Killer Katya" teaches it and arranged to host a 6-week session at our workplace -- Yoga for 60 minutes on Tuesdays and 45 minutes of Core Conditioning on Thursdays. I'm on Week Two!

I could really feel my muscles - I was sore all over! I have great expectations for change. I've felt so weak up until the new year when I finally found the energy to be more active so regained some stamina. Now I feel I can push myself a bit more.

I still have some numb areas and I feel tingly sessions or something like phantom pain though it's not actually pain per se... It's nothing to prevent me from moving or doing.

I donated blood for the 75th time last month. My daughter donated for the third time and now her cousin wants to start giving blood so the three of us will all to together next month.

I've spent 6 weekends full of karate in 2011 so far for officiating as I'm really enjoying it. I'll be able to put into practice my full provincial license next weekend at Karate Ontario Grand Prix #1 and work towards earning my full Karate Canada national license. A plan in the works.

Happy Spring, All!
