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.
