Cardio rehab
Cardio rehab has been great. It seems to start out slow, but they monitor your progress well and move you up accordingly. I am improving with each visit and it helps me to be patient with myself. Glad to here that everyone is doing fine.Remember what Adam says "Keep on tickin."
Exercise time
Yesterday I signed up for cardio rehab. Currently walking three miles a day, which I will continue to do. I have signed up for 36 visits, but hope not to go that long. Have any of my HVJ friends gone for that length of time and did it help in your recovery?
24 days post-op
Went to see my surgeon and cardiologist yesterday and was given the green light!!! Everything is going well and follow up in three months with the cardiologist. Will be setting up appts. for cardo-physical rehab today. Hopefully will be starting my home testing for coumadin in the next couple of weeks. Closing one chapter of life and starting another. Thank you HVJ friends for prayer and support.
Hey
HVJ friends, Doing great!! I am walking farther and getting stronger each day. It is hard for me not to go beyond what I am supposed to do, but not pushing the envelope. Fifteen days post-op I had my first sneeze. Glad I had my heart pillow. I survived. Thanks to all HVJ friends for your prayers and support!!
