Right up front: Never in a million years could I do what is required. However, I needed to start somewhere. Considering how fit the SEALs are, I figured it was a good place to start. My pushups are against the wall.

Using 1, 2, and/or 4-lb weights:

PT ~ Physical therapy

UBP ~ Upper body exercises, pushups, and chair sits against the wall

FL ~ Sitting foot lifts to strengthen knees

Brain Dump

Several people told me my case wasn't serious; after all, I didn't go to the hospital. Never mind I was barely conscious for over a week, home alone. 

Do you know what the CDC called serious? If your oxygen level dropped below 94.

Do you know what my oxygen level was? 90, occasionally dropping to 89. Several deep breaths would kick it back up to 90, at least as long as I was checking.

Despite people telling me my case wasn't serious, I decided to take the CDC's quarantine recommendation for a serious case of 20 days. Yes, my case was serious. 

With at least six additional health problems, I don't know why I survived. God has other plans.
