We awoke to a house quieted by the lack of electricity. I have always loved our gas fireplace and am particularly glad for it today as it is our only source of heat until the power returns. Outside, the proverbial winter wonderland. My boyfriend is checking for the cause of the power outage and, I…
While I do not have the energy to say much, I do want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and tell you that with my new tablet (awesome Christmas and birthday gift), you will be reading a lot more from me! Someone please stop me next time I plan to cook a turkey dinner for…
Okay, enough time away from the blog. It is time reinvest my energies in pursuits that make me healthy and happy. I am making changes in my life that I think will serve that purpose well. More about that later. For now…let’s talk about a passion: my workouts. I returned to the gym (other than…
I know, it has been quite a while since I blogged. Trust me, it is not the only thing for which I am delinquent. I have not cleaned my house since prior to the surgery. Don’t get me completely wrong. I have vacuumed as needed, kept up with laundry and dishes, dusted a little,…

Have I told you just how wonderful my boyfriend is? Despite my waking in a foul mood (thinking I would have to have a second thoracentesis), he planned a wonderful evening for us following the appointment with my heart surgeon in the San Francisco Bay area. He booked a room in Santa Rosa and then…
Now that I have been given the green light by my surgeon, it is time to get BACK into shape. Day 1, Phase 1: 30 minute walk around the neighborhood = 1.38 miles (avg speed: 2.76 mph) with some areas of incline. Day 2: 28 min walk around neighborhood = 1.38 miles (avg. speed: 2.96…
(Warning: skip the part on the thoracentesis procedure if you are squeamish) If you have followed my blog, you know that my recovery from what doctors appear to call triple A surgery (Ascending Aortic Aneurysm) has been rocky. Energy levels have been low and pain high. I also seemed to have a wheeze over the…
