Three people in my life did very special things for me yesterday. I am grateful to have such people in my life and thankful for their gestures. The first act occurred at about 1030 in the morning. I was due to meet with a new patient. I went down to greet her in the waiting…
Two weeks from today we will be on the road already. We will be heading to Redwood City for my pre-op physical. So what does my stress level look like right now? We all know that stress can cause you to have a headache or a stiff neck/shoulders. But how does it affect thoughts and…
I tend to worry about things. I know, I am a psychologist and I know better. However, that does not stop me from worrying about all sorts of things. So what am I currently worrying about? 1. Getting things done in the next 15 days (two weeks from tomorrow we leave for California and won’t be…
What do all of these things have in common? Well, they are numbers. They impact my life in varying degrees. I am sure my math teacher/bodybuilder friend could find even more similarities. However, the answer is a bit less complicated and the hints are found all over my blog. 6.3…to be exact, six years, 3…
Get enough sleep (7.5 hours minimum) Train muscles that will help me maneuver after the surgery: legs, arms, abs Do cardio at least three times per week to keep heart in good shape Continue to eat a healthy diet – lots of fruits and veggies, dairy, fiber, and protein (mainly from non-animal sources) Have an…
So here we are, 24 days until my surgery and most of the things I am worrying about, trying to get done, and planning are related to others rather than to me. For instance, making sure that all of my duties at work are covered and my patients will have back-up therapists. Other examples include,…
Note: In case you did not notice the countdown clock, my surgery is now 25 days away. During my meeting with the surgeon this week, we asked about future workouts (i.e. lifting weight) and he told us that I should be able to return to lifting weights, but not to the extent that I close…
Okay, after a 5 1/2 hour drive, I met the doctor today. I could not have felt more comfortable. He brought us into his office and explained the problems and the fixes. He had a model of a heart, a tissue valve, and the Dacron tube they use to replace aortas with aneurysms. He explained everything…
We are up early and will be out the door by 7am. My boyfriend and I are headed to the city by the bay for our appointment with my surgeon. I slept amazingly well last night (aided by half of a benadryl and a long workout yesterday – yes I behaved for the most part).…
In 49 hours we will be in San Francisco to meet with my surgeon. Since I learned that I would need surgery to at least repair the ascending and partially descending thoracic aortic aneurysm (and though we hope a valve replacement will be unnecessary, that is also a possibility), it has been constantly on my…
