Many Excuses -- and a promise to do better

II don't believe that is actually more than a month since I added to this missive.

A great deal of time and ALL my energy has been spent in thrice-weekly physical therapy experiences.

Rome has a fantastic public transportation system, but bus transport takes time. In order to make a 10:00 AM appointment at the hospital, I need to get up as 6:45, walk to Piazza Mancini (about 1 KM away) to catch the ATAC 280 bus by 8:30. Being a rush hour, it takes about 40 minutes to reach Piazza Belli where I change to a Tram (in the states we call them a streetcar or trolley) for a 7 stop ride to San Camillo Hospital.

After an extensive 45 minute pummeling, I take the return trip. I arrive back home about 12:30 PM and collapse for the rest of the day.

And the next day.

The results have given me more strength, and inches around the waist.

Progress was so dramatic that I have been sent on yet another 10 treatments.

So, pardon the interruption in dialog, and I hope to do better these next months
