For the first time in over a month I did my leg strengthening exercises using my make-shift stretch band. This has always been an important part of my very limited exercise regime but my health has been so fragile over the past month that I eshewed even that basic exercise. However, I felt strong enough to resume but I have to be circumspect and not overdo it. A couple of days ago I actually went for a walk around the block for the first time in well over a month. Afterwards I felt very tired but apart from the fatigue there were no consequences.
Of course it is still a mystery as to what was wrong with me. It may have been the sourdough bread and even if it wasn't, I don't want to risk a recrudescence of my earlier symptoms. Sourdough bread is definitely off the menu now and forever. If I do suffer a recurrence of my symptoms then the culprit is most likely BAM but I'm hoping that it's not. Meanwhile I can enjoy my good health and keep my fingers crossed.
My departure to Australia is looking more like mid-June now which is close to the June 22nd danger date that I predicted earlier in the year. Of course by that time the biting cold of a Melbourne winter may have taken its toll and I'll be sick as predicted. However, my departure is at least a month away so let's see what happens in the interim. Hopefully I can stay healthy.
