health camp.

On our drive to Minneapolis this weekend we pondered the pending start of radiation treatments on September 19th. As we discussed the importance to the next few weeks we decided to view this upcoming leg of the journey as our 6 week HEALTH CAMP.

We established some simple guidelines:

-Radiation five days a week

-Physical Therapy M-W-F (en route home from Omaha)

-Anytime Fitness Workout 3 times / week

-Massage once a week

-Earlier bedtime

-An even stronger emphasis on healthy diet with concentration of protein shakes, protein snacks (string cheese & Greek yogurt) - and reducing / eliminating coffee intake

We like the focus on health (instead of cell death). It is a good focus to keep Mike's muscle strength up, and diet is critical because losing weight is a concern with mouth radiation. We are writing this on the blog because it strengthens our resolve. And because basically we covet prayers for all of this.

Let's start HEALTH CAMP!
