Wednesday I went in for a scheduled meeting with my parole officer and ended up back in the slammer for a few days. I’m home now , but I’ll be out of commission for a while. Thanks to all the cool Doctors and Nurses who took care of me this time around— there wasn’t a [...]
Air-trapping
The Yellow zone …in detail.
On Saturday I was supposed to do a 10 mile walk along the SF waterfront (one that I’ve done countless times before) , but was I was too short of breath , and was only able to complete 7.5 miles .I probably shouldn’t have even attempted the walk in the first place , as I’d [...]
