Slightly Better today & Pix
I feel a little bit better today than I did yesterday but I am still not totally well. I feel the way I do when I get travel sick—a bit woozy and disoriented with a slight tendency to stagger around! My stomach feels a bit uncertain so I guess it is another day within close reach of the bathroom!
Much to my surprise, there was a knocking on the back door this morning and a new Schwanns frozen food delivery man stood there. This was odd not only because we had been told that delivery would be November 1st, but because it wasn’t Art, the usual man! Anyway, this new man called Mark was pleased that Fred had ordered online and told me that Art had quit the company! I forgot to ask him if he would be coming back in two weeks so I have put a reminder in my calendar for two weeks and we shall see.
This is the new treadmill
And here is another view of it. Did I mention that I had to pay someone to bring it out and put it all together for me? And that was worth evey penny I paid for it.
I didn’t walk on it yesterday since I spent the whole day on or in the bed. I am not sure about today. Internally, things seem to be settling down a bit so, we shall see.
I am, however, giving my Kindle a REALLY good workout! 
And finally, Fred’s plant whose name is Fredrika. I always say he has had this plant longer than he has had me but the other day we actually worked out how old she is. She is 20 years old!

Woah…. that is one serious treadmill. I like all the little buttons. I don’t think I could stand it facing the wall like that, though. 🙂 Hope you get to feeling better soon!

What a cool treadmill! Ours is an oldie, but goodie. LOL I’m glad you are feeling a bit better today. I have never been able to sustain plant life for more than a very short period of time. Twenty years is definitely way past my limit!

Fredrika is a beautiful plant. I hope my two Christmas cactii live that long so they will be as big and full of blooms as she is! :o) !! hugs, Weesprite

It looks like my treadmill. I have had much more success walking on mine since buying the MBT shoes which eliminated the stress on my knees, hips and Achilles tendons.

I am so very jealous/envious of your tredmill. I looked at them the other day at walmart, and so very much wanted to buy one. I think I’ll just have to wait. I’m considering asking my parents if I could have theirs when I am home for xmas. My mom doesn’t use it, and I certainly would. 🙂 I’m glad you’re feeling better.

Thanks for the info on BPV. I looked it up on website and found a possible cause, too much aspirin. I have been taking a whole one a day and I believe this is it. will eliminate a half in a couple weeks of being without. I talked to Dr. today and he agreed. And will follow your exercise plan. Thanks again. Will get on my Treadmill as it is like yours, will have to put it down. be well…dan

Nice treadmill. I love the plant. It’s beautiful. Hope you are feeling better soon. It’s about that time of year. I have been fighting off a cold for about 2 weeks now and I seem to be winning. I wonder when it will come back. Probably in time for the holidays!

Travel sickness is no fun, so you’ve got my sympathy, I hope you’ll feel much better soon. I’m jealous of your treadmill, and I love the fact that Fred names his plants.
