Well, trying to.

My wife has been doing an excellent job of looking after me over these
past three weeks that I have been home from the hospital. She is
preparing my meals and monitoring what I eat. My son gave me a healthy
eating cook book and I have tried two of the dessert recipes. One was
for whole wheat muffins with dried apricots, which are pretty good. The
other one was brownies. I suppose that some people might be impressed
with the fudge like brownies. They have no butter, not much sugar, only
one egg. They are edible.


I have lost 20 pounds since I got home. I have been out for two walks
per day, one kilometre each. I no longer have to have a one hour nap
after 5 minute walks. No napping at all. I have been doing my
stretching exercises. I had been concerned about overdoing things
because when I was in the hospital I overdid it and was ordered to bead
rest for a day.

I saw my family doctor last week and my cardiologist today. He has taken
me off two of my medications, one that was supposed to get my heart rate
under control, and warfarin. Warfarin was a PITA because it meant blood
tests before 10 am every Monday and constant monitoring my the
Thrombosis Clinic.

I am still limited to lifting, pulling, pushing no more than 10 pounds,
and I cannot drive or sit in the front seat of a car for another month.
But, I can get as much cardio-vascular exercise as I want (can handle).
