Pete’s Recovery Continues

For those of you who have recent health issues, I urge you to do all you can to become as physically active as you can. I will give you a timeline of what happened and the progress I am making. On August 17, 2010 I entered the hospital with an infection tha caused my right big toe to be amputated. I entered kidney failure shortly after that. I was a very sick man and spent 22 days hospitalized and not able to get out of bed. When it comes to muscle tone in the legs there was very little left. In September I went home with a wheel chair and a walker. I had plastic surgery in late September that has finally healed over the course of the last week. I say begin doing what you can with exercise bands, light wieghts, walking, whatever you can.... If you need moral support I am here for you just write me a note. I am now getting 15 minutes straight on the exercise bike and another 20 minute of bow flex exercise per day. Trust me if I can do it you can too, I am the original couch commander. Get up and move you'll feel better and so will those around you.
