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:
It has now been 39 days since my surgery. I have been free of narcotics for 10 days and since the thoracentesis on the 12th, I have felt more and more like myself. As you might imagine, this means that my mind has turned to the future because I no longer must focus so intently…
On June 28, 2012, now over 9 weeks ago, I injured my shoulder. My chiropractor believes that I tore something – possibly a torn rotator cuff. Prior to that time I had adjusted my workouts, but was still pretty pleased with them. The blurry photo below gives you an idea where I was at the…
This is a delayed post from yesterday. I cannot remember when we first met. It has been well over a year. We actually knew about each other before we were introduced. You see, we were both involved with the same man. Now, before you leap to any conclusions, it wasn’t what you are thinking. We…
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…
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…
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…
