Walkies

No walking to speak of yesterday, but today I got back into it. Started with a trip to the local mall to get a holiday prezzie for the Y.D. Since this required a considerable amount of searching, I got in quite a lot of walking at what I now consider a good pace. Fortunately this was around 10am and the mall was surprisingly uncrowded.

After lunch I went out for a proper walk: my usual weekend route by Los Gatos Creek. By power-walking I managed to get a decent workout while still taking small enough steps to avoid cramps. My calf muscles feel tight and a bit sore, but they're not tied into knots. This is good.

I should also mention multiple trips up and down the garage attic stairs, and a fair amount of lifting. I've been a busy bear.

At folkmew's suggestion I visited this article on nasal irrigation, which led me to this neti pot. Looks like a good one, so I bought the kit with two pots and an instructional video. More when it arrives in a week or so.

My pedometer reading for the day is currently 14900.

I've been using NeilMed Sinus Rinse which is available many pharmacies and for sure at Kaiser pharmacies.

It was part of the CPAP recomendations
and
for my Sinus Infection my Dr said to rinse then use the Flownaise Rx she gave me..

I've been using Flonase for quite a while now. Almost bought the NeilMed kit the last time I was in Kaiser; I should probably try it while I'm waiting for the stainless steel pot. Might be good for traveling (and the thought of what one might say to get it past airport security is delightful to contemplate).
