Bleah. Need to excercise
But cautiously, Spent too much time in bed when I got zonked by that vaccination, and that turned into a self-sustaining loop (lying in be reading)
I knew It was a problem because of the way I felt when I headed to Albertson's (the literally next door grocery store).
But Today when I did the monthly Winco run with Fay, I discovered it was a lot worse than I thought. Had to rest several times in the course of a block. And my heart rate when I got to the subway I was meeting her at was 145 and my O2 sat was 80. Took forever to get close to normal.
Walking thru Winco required stopping and leaning on the cart several times.
And when I finally got home, it took me an hour and a half to go from the bus stop (726 feet from the apartments according to Tri-met), make the several trips up the stairs with the groceries, and get it all put away. Lots of sitting and resting in there.
Given that I had several "gray-out" moments while shopping, I think I need to dig out the blood pressure cuff and check that, not just the pulse/O2 sat that I'm checking with the pulse oximeter.
To start out with, I'm gonna be sure to go up and down the stairs at least a couple times a day. And work up to more walking. This is ridiculous.
