In between hospital appointments, Dave and I went to the Stanford dish trail today. It’s called the “dish” because there is a satellite dish at the top of the hill, a well-known landmark in the community. The trail, once a worn, narrow dirt trail is now a wide paved path with a security guard at…

Felix, thanks for dropping by the site. I hope you recover from the over-training. I have started upper-body training now. The head physical therapist, Milenna, is very good at encouraging people. She had me using 4 lb. dumbells and doing sets of 10 of various exercises, plus the pulley machine which exercises the lats. I…

Yesterday was an excellent day. Isa brought over homemade Vietnamese spring rolls and hot and sour soup for lunch, and then we went to the stadium to exercise. It was almost like old times. I was able to climb from the bottom to top three times, the equivalent of 24 flights of stairs. It was…

Denise, thanks for your messages. I will be looking forward to your call. You can also try reaching me on my cell phone. No, dog in the picture is not Rupie, Rupie is much cuter! Julie, great to hear that the kids are doing so well in climbing! They must be training hard with their…

Unfortunately, today I felt some pain and tiredness so I rested on the couch most of the day. I must have walked over a mile total yesterday, and have to save my energy for now. Myrna, my caregiver and I, have been finding some great recipes. Here is a very easy and tasty recipe perhaps…

Denise, thank you for going to Lourdes and praying for me with your family. Sophia’s prayer was so cute! I have been doing much better, although I still feel very tired most of the time. Felix, thanks so much for fixing the website! I really appreciate your work.I bet with all the extra #$%@ people…

Felix, thanks for taking care of the spammers for me. John, good to hear from you. It has been good to be out of the hospital. In the past few days, I have been spending some quality time with my mother and Robert. I have been making some good strides in recovery this week. Instead…
