Day 51 May 31st
Monday was a holiday and I felt pretty good, so Amy and I went to Mall of America (1 1/4 hours away). I sat on benches a lot of the time, but we had a nice day. Amy especially enjoyed MN's no sales tax on clothing, etc. Had to nap when we returned but I was happy Amy got to see MOA.
Today, Tuesday, was just medication refills and cardiac rehab. They had given me some exercise sheets to improve balance. I am more balanced than 3 weeks ago, but still not so good. Amy is quite the task master and I am now doing the exercises regularly.
She also has me working on going up the stairs. I have been going down whole flights of stairs for a few weeks, but we just started up. I do a flight up a few times a day. Still makes me a little short of breath but that is improving along with my leg strength. It is amazing how a major (and I mean really major) surgery and 5 years of growing increasing idle can mess a body up.
Looks like a quiet week here except for Thursday. They always fill up my Thursdays. Hope your week goes well.
