Time Management

Tijuana’s sunshine and balmy breezes aside, the Issels doctors set a tough regimen. Here’s how my hours are filled.

DAILY:
(Duration for each task includes preparation and clean-up time)
½ hr - vital signs 2x/day plus weight every morning
¾ hr consume nine juice doses spaced throughout the day (some require mixing with other compounds)
1 ¼ hr two coffee enemas
½ hr one juice enema
2 ¼ hr three meals in dining room; info exchange with other patients and companions, socialization, check daily schedule, eat
¾ hr walk or other exercise/physical therapy
½ hr IV Vitamin B17
3 hr IV Vitamin C
1 ½ hr castor oil poultice with heat for liver
1 hr clay poultice for liver
½ hr schmoozing with the nurses
½ hr doctor exam/consult
¾ hr admin, email, Internet, appointments, phone calls
1 ½ hr personal toilette, body maintenance
½ hr misc medical: blood draw, imaging
1 hr lecture (breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, home follow-up)
Oh, yes, and sleep, blessed sleep whenever possible (I am awakened at midnight for one scheduled medication.)

OTHER SCHEDULED:
1 hr intermittent treatments 2x/week, (photoluminescence, vaccines, etc) 1 ¼ hr colonic (weekly)

OTHER:
1 hr with psychologist, stress management (weekly)
2 hr evening video and popcorn (weekly)
Visualization
Meditation


A few of these can be multi-tasked, but require change of clothing because they are messy. This is just what occupies MY time; Michael takes care of everything else (and there is plenty of that).

FROM MICHAEL:
I haven’t added up all those time segments- maybe Linda has more than 24 hours in each of her days… something I have long suspected! She is a meticulous record keeper- as a look at her jump log will show. Anyway, Linda is just fine, in high spirits and completely engaged with life on its own terms with no preconditions- a great attitude. We have been here together in this room for nearly a month now- and it has been a good and constructive time for us both. We are closer now than ever before.
