1997

RSB today--12 people plus 2 observers. Tough workout--at stations we did 2.5 minutes of activity followed by 30 seconds of doing another task. Each station's activities were repeated 3 times. There were 5 stations--so we kept moving for 45 minutes plus 2 laps around the building. Whew--rock steady!

One of the men tripped and fell--he banged up his knees and elbows. Ouch--not a lot of fun!

I just got a call from the medical people--setting up a time for my surgery to remove the lipoma on my neck. The person that I talked with was marginally unintelligible--her accent was thick and she mispronounced a lot of words. I just listened intently--and managed to get the basic data regarding the place, time, and date. It appears that the procedure will take up the whole afternoon next week--I'll have to have a chaperone--it's looking like they will give me a general anesthesia.

I also will need to get information on what I'll be able to do after the surgery--how much of my exercise program I'll still be able to do.

POTUS looks like he's destroying all manner of things associated with the country's programs--lots of people are going to be on the unemployment lines when it's all over (assuming it can ever be over). My worry is what is going to happen to my medical insurance--which seems that it is not going to survive the purge. Going to be a lot of people with illnesses--that are not going to be covered by adequate services.
