Step One…Dr. Visit

Ok…here goes.  A big big test of faith.  With God by myside I can   accomplish   anything!!

The doctors appointment went quite well.   I explained my concerns on exercise and the effect it was having on my heart.  But most importantly, the pain I had while trying to do a good workout.  So we talked and he suggested first a stress test…ick…hate them…..then after that if surgery wasn’t needed he would recommend I join the cardiac rehabilitation.  You have a person assigned just for “you” and you are monitored. 

After my surgery in 2004 I began this same therapy.  Due to my mothers end stage Alzheimers and my father not being able to care for her I was forced to quit the rehab.  I think I only attended 3 sessions

But its ok…..looks like I may be given another chance…YIPPEE!! I’m really excited.  I really need to get this weight off and I know exercise is needed.

So, tommorrow morning at 8:00 a.m. I will be taking the stress test…Eeeks…so early, and no coffee.  OMG!!! I’m a bear without my morning coffee.

So for now, hope all are having a good day…eating wisely, and exercising!! Have fun with it….enjoy your day!!

    I’m glad you are seeking and following medical advice before you start an exercise program. So many people don’t and then end up hurt or something. Good for you! And get your behind in that rehab if that’s where you have to go. Look at it this way, you can’t exactly slack off if you have someone watching your progress! :)

    Good luck! :)

    At least you’ll get your exercise in with the stress test! :D Good luck with it. I had one about a month ago. Hated it.
