Dear Church Family,
My family and I want to thank you for praying for my recovery. I have no major event to report except that I am getting stronger and recovery seems to be in good progress.
My 24- session Cardiac Therapy ended a month ago. Those sessions helped me regained some physical strength. And that was good and I really enjoyed those sessions. Now Joyce and I try to take regular walks in the parks to keep up the exercise.
Through this ordeal, I have lost more than 20 lbs (10Kg). The scale seems to show that I am still losing weight though at a much slower pace. I think this has been a combination of the initial lost of appetite immediately following the surgery and the change of diet. I am still eating a lot but have cut out carbs including rice and bread (except Ezekiel Bread which is a flourless and sprouted bread).
As far as my energy level goes, my guess would be I am about 60% of my pre-surgery level. I still find myself tiring easily and needing to take rest through the day. I guess that’s normal in recovery.
Work wise, I have started to work on some initial preparation for the missions conference that I help organize each year. As for trips, I am hoping that I will recover well enough to start traveling at the end of the year. Perhaps the wise thing for me to do is to start it slow and build up strength again.
I will sure appreciate your continuing prayers for my recovery.
Thank you for your friendship and support,
Sim
