Yeah, wait till you get to the first post-op BJ
That'll be a special memory for sure, and something to look forward to.
Yeah...LOL... My GF and I were talking about the "when," of that stuff today.
Looks like I overdid it today. Marybeth and I went to Partridge Creek tonight which is like a traditional big mall, except it's outdoors. So it's the size of one of those traditional malls that old ladys in tennies walks laps in, except it's out doors (and you can walk your dogs.) And we did a could paced lap around it. It was a beautiful night, the first warm night we've had. But now I'm really worn out and kinda in a bit of pain. But it's part of the healing.
I just can't really get over how weak I am overall. I mean I haven't done much physically since this got discovered in June and was put on restrictions, on top of having the physical trauma of the surgery. And the couple years prior I was slowing down, but thinking it was from the flu.
I used to be able to walk for miles with no problems, now after a couple blocks I'm ready for bed. But at least doing normal things, I'm not feeling like a fish out of water trying to breath.
I can't wait til I start cardiac rehab and get to do some supervised cardio and hopefully get back to doing strength training. I just wonder how long it will be til I can do upper body stuff again. Though I shouldn't probably get my hopes up that I'll get to do anything that puts stress on my ribcage for awhile, right?
