Hello, all. Becky, @becsbuddy, I do that a lot actually, how I get in most of my walking for several months. I've told you about my walks at Mayo w/my hot pink walker through the inside corridors, connecting 3 main buildings, lined with huge wall windows and beautiful artwork, wide and carpeted and comfy with lots of folks pleasant and helpful if I need it....beautiful walking, comfortable w/ac, huge plants, the outside coming in through the huge windows, and the artwork that's so lovely.

In fact, I even got an unexpected walk in today, against my wishes as well. I had a nuclear stress test scheduled at 12:50pm. I arrived just on time, at the wrong building. I walked to the next desk, which I thought was correct. Wrong desk. I had to walk to the connected building....parked at Mayo Building, walked to other end of Mayo Building, then walked to the next building, Davis. Got there, I had an Atkins smoothie for breakfast with some yogurt and blueberries, since I hadn't had anything to eat since dinner last night and couldn't eat much and no caffeine anything. Well, pooh...the smoothie was a chocolate flavor and all chocolate has caffiene. So, I had to cancel the test! What a day. I really need this test asap to get closer to understanding what's happening with my heart and body right now....so, will be there tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. No smoothie.....just ate dinner I brought home from Mayo cafeteria, soooooo delicious. Baked salmon, with carrots and cauliflower. Green tea and chocolate pudding for desert...all from the Mayo cafe. I brought home food for tomorrow as well.

I had to walk back from the Davis building to the Mayo building where my car was parked. So, I got in quite a good, long walk today, unexpectedly and unwanted, didn't feel like it, but very pleasant and good for me.

Jake, @jakedduck1, got my chocolate in for the day! Have some for tomorrow as well. Exhausted, but now well fed and with delicious and healthy food from Mayo cafeteria. All in all, I'd say a good day. And, the nurse at the nuclear test area had a chance to tell me some other things she wants me to do for tomorrow, for my lungs to survive the stress and such.

It's 7 in the evening here, I'm beat and have to get up early. Had shower this morning...no shower tomorrow, so they get me as I am this time! But, I'll be so thankful to be there, to get this appt the next day -they worked me in somehow...Thankful for so much. Blessings to you all and may you enjoy your walking, no matter where or when or how you get it in. Be thankful we can still walk! elizabeth
