"Birds of a feather, flock together!" The support both given & received here, is the best. Even when the waters are choppy, the support & knowledge shared, helps to smooth things out. Tomorrow is the first day of Rehab at the Hospital.

All of your shining examples have me pumped & ready to go. Courage, Brave Hearts! whether waiting or recovering. Press on. We are not alone. Thinking of each one. Grateful, Thankful, Blessed!

Jennifer McInerney

I patiently wait for my rehab to start on Nov. 26. Hope you find yours helpful

Meredith Geneja

I think we both will, Jennifer. Will keep you posted. Looking forward to it. I'm sure it will "stretch" us, but that can be good. We need to be on a solid path after our surgeries, that's for sure!

All those walks along the chilly waterfront paid off yesterday. The stress test was not as stressful as anticipated:) Now to meet with the Nurse, Physiotherapist & Dietician, next Wednesday. Speed on a treadmill is one thing, a steep uphill incline, another. Adding more inclines to this week's hikes.

As others have reported, weeks 7 & 8 of the healing process can be such a sweet relief. After what sometimes seems like a long roller coaster ride, (or "grind"), things are beginning to even out. We all heal differently & these incisions need time. Freedom to do the many... Read more.

Special outings have been like lighthouses for me, throughout the healing process. In between groceries & errands a quick break. (And who walks in?? My Cardiologist, and then another. Small world. Saturday, everybody loves a bakeshop, even Vegan & Gluten-

Gluten-free options).....The shop is called, "Glazed & Confused". Many days we can all relate to that:)

Starting Cardio Rehab in 17 days, and will be driving by then. The incision(s) all calming down well for the most part, still aches & pains here & there, but just 5 weeks yesterday. Rest is key. #strongereveryday #lovemyfriends&family #we don'tdothisalone

Shop name is very witty! Congrats on getting out and about!

1st meeting with Cardiologist post-op this Monday @ 3:30. Writing out questions & concerns at this 3rd-week point in time. Still not driving, so have had my practice walk to his office:) Looking forward to this meeting. It will be targeted & brief.

Hope you get a clean bill of health!

Meredith Geneja

Thank you, Marie Myers! Positive to be seeing a Dr. & getting some feedback at this point. I will sure appreciate getting some answers to my questions. Some days it feels like we're all in a bumper car race:) Love hearing from others further down the road.

Meredith Geneja

Meeting with Cardiologist went well today. ***Only 3 more days of a half dose of Metoprolol.*** Very happy about this. Will not miss the side effects. Dr. was pleased with my healing thus far. Next appointment in December. So grateful for a positive meeting today. One artery does have 30%... Read more.
