Figured I’d utilize the blog for one final update.
For those who wondered, I’m pretty much back to normal—whatever normal is for a 58 year old, overweight me. I’d say lung capacity is probably at 90 -95% and I can do stuff like the 45 lb kettle bell, weights, crunches, push ups, etc. So, I’m mostly back to normal, almost.
There’s juuuuust one thing, and the only reason I’m putting it out there is that no one freaks out later on. Here’s the thing—*Because Covid hit so hard, I lost about 25 pounds in two and a half weeks. History has shown with me (had a deathly virus back in the ’80’s, too), that that type of rapid weight loss, and punishment to my system comes at a cost: my hair’s falling out. More and more every day in the shower.
**Before all you armchair doctors out there start speculating, no, it’s not the cancer come back–had a PET scan a few months ago. All clear on the front, no worries. No, this is because of the beating I took via COVID. SO, at some point in the near future, I might just shave the head again.
In fact, that’s very likely. I say it’s better to go out in a shaving blaze of glory instead of slowly turning into Gollum. It’s not too bad yet but the time is coming. Sure, there are a lot of hairs on the human head but when you’re losing 50 to 80 each day since Christmas, it eventually starts to be a bit noticeable.
Just sayin’. The last thing I want is to do a hot sauce video, people see the bald head and freak out. And hey, it may stop falling out, grow back, etc. We’ll see. Maybe I’ll rub an onion on my bald pate.
But the headline is, pretty much over Covid. Well, I think we’re all pretty much OVER it, but you get my meaning.
Because the Thing IS.
