Default My "Check In update"

So,

I've been getting to the gym 3-4 times per week for the past 2 months now, everything is going well there. I get in various cardio and weight training to build stamina and muscle tone. I have also been easing into the swimming again although I sink instead of float now (I used to have enough fat to float ). The gym work is really helping me; I was able to mow my lawn for the first time in almost two years yesterday. I had been paying the kid next door but while he liked getting paid he didn't like doing the work. It was nice to be able to do it for myself.

I've been to work on a graduated return - a month of 4 hour days; I'm in week two of that now. I'll be following that up with a month of 6 hour days and then 8's. I'm really liking the 4 hour days though... everybody should be able to work 4 hour days; wonder if I can get my doctor to sign off that I need to be on them permanent?

Still on 90mg x 3/day Mestinon, but it is only really needed for my swallowing now. My tongue still goes a little loopy and gives me the marble mouth, but only when I'm utterly exhausted and at the tail end of my last dose of Mestinon for the day. If neither is the case, I'm good.

Hope everyone else is doing well and improving
