I have been sick since Sunday, October 18th. I really did not think it'd drag on and on like this, but I do not think I have recovered fully. I am really bummed because I've had to cancel many appointments during this time.

I finally started going to the gym again. I went there this Monday and tonight, but both times I had to cut the session short because I get unreasonably tired quite quickly and dizzy also.

I still have a slight pain in the left thumb, which I hyperextended. Not a major problem; I am just hoping it'll heal completely.

Not everything's bad, though. I do weird stretching for hip flexibility in the cage, using the Olympic bar as a prop (I talked about it vaguely in "C.'s Advice on My Roundhouse Kicks" (Sunday, October 04, 2009)). When I got my right foot off the bar at the end of the stretching, there used to be a sharp pain shooting in my right inner thigh. When I did it tonight, though, there was absolutely no pain. This is good, really good.

Another unexpected good change is that somehow I can sleep much, much better. No complaints there.
