3 at 8.5, random incline level 5. 1.75 at 8:00 .25 at 5:30 but -3% decline, just to stretch out.

My dad has improved so that today he is transferring to a rehab facility. Amazing, 10 days ago the doctors were telling us to prepare for end of life decisions as he was gravely, ill. For some reason, he is resilient and has bounced back from death's doors again. We will see how he improves. Hopefully, things will get more back to normal for everyone, especially him.

Since he is gone from the ICU, I will now post the following, hoping to lighten the mood.

I know, I've been a poor blogger, missing out on all you friends.

Thanks Steve. I just look around, have some bookmarks, etc. I'm just a strange cookie.
