What message do you have for your younger self?
Eat differently, work out, walk around, be more pleasant with situations and people, and you will live a healthier life. Drink a lot more water. Don’t wait until you get diabetes.
Did you have to be placed on a ventilator?
No, I was blessed enough to have a lung doctor to put me on oxygen. He told me I’m going to get you off this oxygen before I send you home. I started off on level four, and before I left, it was on two.
How many steps a day do you take?
Even from here to the mailbox is like a half a mile. I’ve gotten this Apple Watch, and I’ve gotten really familiar with it. One day in the week, I had 1,200 steps. I don’t even think that’s anything, but I try to get more and more. I have an aunt who’s 78 years old, and this woman walks like she’s 10. She does two to four miles a day, and I saw it [with] my own eyes. I was mad at myself like, “What am I doing?”
