I'm noticing many family and friends seem concerned about my physical condition, and say the blog doesn't really give enough detail about that. Right now, I feel very close to normal. Maybe a couple more weeks. I lost a lot of muscle, because of having to rest so much. So it will take some exercising to bring that back. Most of the fluid retention is gone. I feel great, and am almost back to my regular activities.
I was diagnosed with temporary heart failure, and put on medications that are bringing my heart into a strong, healthy rhythm. I will go in for an MRI on my heart on the 23rd to see exactly what can be done in terms of an ablation to correct the electrical misfiring that causes atrial fibrillation, which can lead to heart failure. It is a new procedure developed (lucky for me) right here at the University of Utah. www.healthsciences.utah.edu/carma
By the way, I LOVE food, always have. I feel happy that I scheduled the fast to end during the harvest. I'm loving the fresh, raw garden veggies and fruits. It seems that going without food for a while always makes me appreciate the succulent varieties Mother Earth offers more than ever.
I'm really appreciating the value of conscious eating. I am committed to eating the foods in season and keeping it simple. My body does really well with a lifestyle of at least 80% raw food. We'll see how that works in the winter.
