DAY 32: ONE MORE DAY

April 10, 2022 ~ Sunday

Fasting Update: Day 27 of 28. One more day of water fasting. My body is so ready for this to be over with. My heart rate is strong and steady. I am not having any other issues. Clinically I am doing well. I see Dr. Streutker in the morning (I saw him today too). He will order blood tests to be drawn tomorrow on the last day of fasting. Time has stood still. Days run into each other. To keep track of what day of the week it is I have to look at a calendar. I have a new suite mate. This makes for the 6th one. They all were here for much shorter stays. Today, I actually walked around the courtyard 3 times. I sat and visited with other patients.

Daily fasting numbers: Weight-179.1 Weight lost during fast-26.9 Weight loss since adopting diet-55.9 BP-111/71 Heart rate-73 Oxygen level-98 Temperature-97.6 Glucose-73 Sleep-4.5 One minute pulse rate-steady. Muscle pain level-0 (scale 1-10) Energy level-6 (scale 1-10).

My Comments: God knew what he was doing when he created the human body. I have been in a desert and will walk out of it on Tuesday. The “bounty” of Psalms 23 that God has set before me was a body that could heal if I only gave it a chance. I can feel that that my body has healed in some ways and in the coming days it will rebuild. God who created science knew this was possible. I just needed to let his creation work for me instead of struggling in the “food desert” that the standard American diet has offered me and which I partook. I stand with Adam and Eve and Daniele in what they put in their mouths. Daniel knew the diet of the Kings was not good for him. Now I see that too.
