6:20PM: Wow, it's been a long tough day. Poor Holly was unable to sleep last night due to her pleurisy. She pushed herself a little too hard yesterday and really aggravated it. So we didn't go to Tai Chi this morning but got up to eat our buckwheat pancakes.
Holly stayed home and rested while I went on the advance hike, The Saddle. This hike is a bit on the extreme side. Almost straight up for the first 45 minutes to an hour. Then mostly straight down until we reach Fern Gulch. Then it's a slow decent then across the desert back to the van. A good two and a half hour hike.
Holly contacted her doctor and got his opinion on her health. According to him, it will probably take months for the pleurisy to heal and the pain is aggravated by working out. So after Aquacise I went down to John's office to discuss our options in dealing with this and our time here. The best option would be for us to finish this week and come back after Holly heals, preferably for two weeks. So John talked to Tami to get approval for this plan. After lunch (turkey pita sandwich with an oriental salad and vegetable soup) and toning class, John gave me the thumbs up on that plan. we are going to finish up this week and come back for two weeks in late summer/fall.
I finished up the day's workouts with my knee really bothering me, so this is probably a good thing for my knee too.
Dinner was a veggie lasagna with (yuck) broccoli and a apple spice cake with berries.
That's our day, talk to everyone again tomorrow.
