I think that I have always known that life offers us opportunities to learn. I know that this belief became stronger as I studied psychology in college and graduate school. And I am certain that over the past 12 years, this belief has become even stronger and it has become apparent that the opportunities to…
No, I am not talking about the right husband, wife, life partner, etc. However, it is still a matter of the heart. Heart surgeons that is. I met with my first potential heart surgeon today. We waited for over an hour before meeting with his nurse practitioner (who was reasonably nice). She gathered history and…
…apparently when you are not looking. Now some will say that it is just water -weight loss. Others will say, that’s too fast, you will lose muscle. Here is the thing. I cannot workout my upper body due to a now more than two week old shoulder injury that is healing, but very slowly. Also,…
I decided to do something new this week. I have felt some fear and trepidation, some frustration, and a lot of stress. In all of this, I think I lost track of the really important things. So this week, I began noting on Facebook (each morning) the things for which I was grateful. I wrote…
It’s easy to get caught up in daily minutiae. Laundry, grocery shopping, bills, traffic, and scores of other relatively insignificant issues and events. It is even easier to become preoccupied by health problems, potential heart surgeries, and minimally torn rotator cuffs. How many of these things will really matter in 10 years? How about in…
When my cardiologist said that we should start to meet with surgeons, I expected to wait a few months to get an appointment. During that time I figured I would set aside some of my worries and just sort of live my life. However, it appears that the first surgeon with whom I will meet…
I am a veteran. In case there is a doubt, here is the first photo taken after I completed boot camp. In boot camp, we learned all sorts of things. The turning point in the Pacific campaign of WWII was the battle of Midway. We learned how to salute, how to fold clothes the Navy…
Injury sometimes leads to opportunity. I guess I have made that apparent repeatedly throughout my life as reflected in this blog. Did I injure myself again? Yep! I was not lifting heavy, just doing cable rope hammer curls – only 15lbs and felt something pop in my right shoulder. By Friday morning, I had to…
Yesterday we were getting ready to go to the lake for the first time this season. I had my bathing suit on and grabbed some shorts. They were too tight. Ugh! I grabbed another pair and I could not even pull them up. Same with another and another. The last pair I had left, finally…
Oh boy. That’s both scary and liberating. I have so closely managed my diet and exercise for the past 27 months. Now I am asked to change things. Lots of things go through my mind… What will happen if I make changes this drastic? What will my pre- and post-workout snacks look like if I…
