22 minutes, my friends. Or, 11 x 2!

Sweet Coco 😺🧡 and I had an active and playful morning.

Yesterday, I picked up this special issue of National Geographic. Love it! 😸

Well, the 2nd half of the day was not as robust. 30,000 steps was ambitious. I had to call it a day due to my aching feet; otherwise, my stamina could have easily carried me there. Nonetheless, a solid day of #physicalfitness #exercise #healthyliving. 💪🏼🫀⚕️

Refueling with a delightful din din at High St. Wine Co. in SAT. A delicious smoked salmon flat bread with arugula greens, topped with extra virgin olive (I sneaked in my own bottle of olive oil). 🙂

All right! Solid 1st half of the day for #physicalfitness #exercise. I’ve been ramping up both the intensity & duration to put my mind & body in prime shape for next month’s 5K run. For today, my goal is to reach 30,000 steps. 💪🏼🫀⚕️

Thankfully, a specific treatment is available for HPP. My Endocrinologist offered a trial of replacement recombinant enzyme, called #STRENSIQ (asfotase alfa), which I’ve enthusiastically accepted.

This specific gene mutation for the ALP enzyme has not yet been officially identified as being pathogenic for HPP. Hence, unchartered territory.

Based on my results, I have a gene mutation (likely inherited from my mother, who also had severe osteoporosis) that causes a deficiency in a key bone enzyme (alkaline phosphatase, ALP) that’s responsible for creating the bone matrix (hydroxyapatite) in the skeleton.

⚕️🧵 Hi friends, my lengthy diagnostic evaluation into the cause of my #osteoporosis has reached its conclusion. This week, I met with my Endocrinologist, who confirmed the clinical diagnosis of #hypophosphatasia (HPP) — a rare disorder that causes poor mineralization of the skeleton.

Tonight, I’m out on the town at Southerleigh at the Pearl in SAT. Marinated heirloom tomato 🍅 and lump crab 🦀 . Delish! 😋

A delightful & productive Sunday: healthy nutrition (milk, nuts, cheese, salad, veggies, salmon, sparkling mineral water), household chores, reading, Coco time & physical fitness. Squeezed in another one mile brisk walk & resistance training before bed. Already looking forward to morning coffee. ☕️

I love peeling avocados. 🥑😋

Mightily proud of our Bluesky friend @crandall917.com for her stellar journey with #healthyliving and physical fitness. 7+ miles and 19K steps in single session are phenomenal. And check out her improved blood sugar after completing her walk! Brava! 💪🏻🫀⚕️

After seeing the haunting movie, 'A House of Dynamite', I felt compelled to re-review a much earlier film, 'By Dawn's Early Light' (1990). The rogue acting president of the US, played by Darren McGavin, is the scariest character of this film, in my opinion.

Tonight, out on the town again, enjoying din din at Southerleigh at the Pearl in SAT. A modified #MediterraneanDiet dish: ‘Peach Salad’ with mixed greens, shallots, fennel, grilled chicken (hold the salt, s’il vous plâit), sherry & peach vinaigrette, topped with extra virgin olive oil. Delish!

I finally got around to doing a head-to-head comparison of BP measurements taken with arm and wrist cuffs. I've long understood that wrist cuffs are not as accurate (overestimation of the true BP). Here, the wrist cuff overestimates by 10/5 mm Hg.

Dedicating these steps to my Bluesky friends. Wishing you good health and happiness brimming with healthy choices. 💛

Sweet baby Coco 😺 sure does enjoy playing with her paper bag. 🧡🤎🤍

Out on the town tonight for a showing of Kathryn Bigelow’s ‘A House of Dynamite.’ This theatre has a bar — a pleasant surprise. Look forward to this thriller. 😃

Hi friends, just received these adorable photos of the feral kitten in his new home. No name, yet. I understand that the Cat Dad is very happy about the new addition to the family. 😻💖
