Feeling great

Just a quick post today.  Just wanted to update the last post about my new medication.  All the side effects are almost gone now.  I expect that to get better and better as the week goes by.  My feet and hands keep feeling better.  I can tell when it gets about 8 to 10 hours since my last dose because my feet start heating up and my hands get less sensitive to touch.   Not even close to what I was feeling before the medication.  It keeps me on schedule taking my next dose.

I wanted to try a ride on my bicycle.  I got out about 7 miles and the wall wasn't there!  My legs didn't have that heavy fatigue feeling, my hands weren't asleep on the handlebars, and I could get a deep breath in on the hills.  I started to really push the ride!  I was enjoying being out there again.  It almost brought tears to my eyes..If I wasn't smiling like a little league boy with his first real home run!!  I must have looked silly to the people driving by.  A guy riding a bike with a great big grin.

My wife is liking the new and improved me.  She said it was nice having me back again.  I didn't realize how much this has affected me.  I'm sleeping all night and I'm sure that is a big part of all this.

So...It's Saturday and I'm off to my grand daughters soccer game.  This time in tennis shoes like a normal person.

The body is sick, but thanks to Jesus the soul is alive and well...
