Tomorrow I start......

Never write your blog when it is past 11 pm. I have just read my previous blog and found a litany of errors caused mainly by predictive text and my up attention. I'm surprised people didn't leave rude comments aimed fairly and squarely at me. I deserved it.

 

Tomorrow I go to Melbourne to meet with my fitness physio for the first time, and to have my second meeting with my sleep therapist.

 

I understand the fitness physio is putting me through a stress test to determine how fit - or unfit - I am and based on the results will formulate a daily fitness regime for me. It involves riding a bicycle with the instructor increasing the load factor regularly as I pedal like a demented person! This will be interesting. I am not one normally given to regimes of any kind ! But I am willing to try it.

 

Then I see my sleep therapist to determine how my sleeping has been going. Actually it has improved a little, particularly since I stopped using my earphones radio. I have my sleep diary to show him.

 

All this has to do with a research program being run by a couple of large universities/hospitals over here - Monash and Epworth and is aimed at seeing how exercise and sleep affect those with brain injuries. And I'm looking forward to my involvement.

 

I'll report on the outcomes of tomorrow's two sessions...... tomorrow.

 

We went for a walk around 9.30 this morning, and then had a mighty big breakfast of the bacon I had purchased yesterday, and eggs, fried tomatoes, spinach and mushrooms.

 

Then we worked in the garden again, although Jules did the vast bulk of work, as I was wandering between the great outdoors and my office where I had computer work to do. Oh, and I once again fetched wood and lit the fire. Plus going to the supermarket.

 

So all in all, it was a typical Sunday.
