Five years ago this Tuesday (9/12/12) I had surgery to repair a thoracic aortic aneurysm. My journey is well documented here. As I reflect back on that time, it was a much more stressful period in my life. I was a manager of somewhere around 18 employees in a busy clinic working for a horrible…
Every time I think that I’m going to blog on a more regular basis, life gets in the way and I don’t get around to it. Then, so many things change and it is hard to catch up in one post. When I last posted, I had this idea that I would run 5, 5Ks…
(Warning: this blog may be too “out there” for some – just my musings) One year ago today, I was finishing up in surgery. It feels as though it was yesterday (without the pain). I still remember so much so clearly. I am so grateful that the doctors found (by accident) the aneurysm and that…
…complex thoughts. My grandson is visiting, with my daughter of course. A year ago on this day, I posted thoughts about my surgery and my grandson. I reveled in plans for the Christmas we would share and used that as a motivation to get the repair and move on with my life. Christmas went well and…
A year ago today, I was attending the first bodybuilding competition for my friend Tammy. She and I have both made many changes in our bodies and lives over the last few years (see her blog at: http://liftingmyspirits.wordpress.com/). I could not have been more proud of my friend and yet, there was a part of me…

I was also looking forward to attending my friend Tammy’s first bodybuilding competition. My mind was busy and the level of stress I was experiencing was greater than I knew. The idea for this…
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,…
My bodybuilder friend Tammy sent me this. When you are feeling like you can’t make it to the gym, have roadblocks, don’t have the time, have a hangnail, etc…think of this:
Tuesday was a tough day. We followed up with the pulmonologist and he insisted that I would need to have a second thoracentesis. He stated that there was about half of a liter of fluid in the pleural area around my right lung and that he believed all of the liquid should be gone. I…
