I am finally feeling somewhat better today. At least, I was until my massage therapist got ahold of me this afternoon ;-). I’ll give it another day or two before I resume any exercising, though – not quite up to par.

And speaking of exercising, Gary has increased his weights on a number of exercises: the wrist curls, cable cross-overs, punches. He can also do two sets of thirty on lat pulldowns and row, instead of just one set as before. He did his entire wheelie session with the therapist while watching the news on TV. She then asked him to tell her what he’d heard on the news. He said he couldn’t remember much :-). His excuse was that it was a long story, not just headlines. She told him next time she was going to give him a quiz.

He also proudly noted tonight that he got his entire dinner himself (mixed salad, and spaghetti with sauce and grated cheese). He said the whole wheat capellini, which he tried for the first time tonight, is pretty good. I never thought I’d see the day when he ate whole wheat spaghetti. He also says the cereal with twigs is pretty good – though not as good as the more name-brand high fiber cereals. I suspect he finds this to be the case because the twigs cereal contains only about two-thirds the sugars as those other kinds ;-).
