The following photos were taken after this evening's 9.4K walk to the Han River and back. The walk itself was okay, I guess... I had to rest during the first ten minutes when I felt pressure building in my chest, but discomfort was minimal for the rest of the walk and actually got a bit better by the end. Otherwise, I was surprised to see no leakage from my toe wounds this evening despite 9.4K of tromping. I can't imagine the same would have been true had I done 14K (to the Jamshil Bridge and back) or 26K (to Hanam City). So marvel with me as we take a glimpse at my healing tonight. There was no rain, and from what I can tell, the skies ought to be rain-free (if partly cloudy) after October 19 (the 15th and 16th might be rain-free, too):

Maybe there's hope. Maybe I won't need to buy any more antibiotics.
Glad to see you are making toe progress. It is also good that you have developed methods to calm your aching heart during your hikes. So, are you feeling confident and ready for Andong?
ReplyDeleteThere's always going to be some level of paranoia, but there's really nothing to be done if I do suffer a second heart attack or stroke on the trail. EMS will never reach me in time, assuming I even have the wit to pull my phone out and hit the "emergency" button while the event is going on.
