This week is doctor’s week. On Monday, I saw my pulmonologist. This morning, I saw my cardiologist. He was actually quite happy with me. Said I look and sound good. He was pleased with the weight that I have lost since my last appointment with him. I see him again in four months.
One of the things that he suggested was that I go to a gym to work on strength exercises, light weights, that kind of thing. I told him I would consider that after I get through this school year and asked him for a favor. He wondered what it was.
I told him that I was thinking about going back to Fitness Pointe (to continue the work I’ve been doing in physical therapy since my therapy will end next week) and that I knew, because of my cardiac history, that they would red flag my application until I saw my doctor and got a release. He smiled and had the nurse make out a release for me so that I could take it with my when I go to join. It always helps to be prepared. 🙂
I had therapy this afternoon. I go again tomorrow evening and then twice next week. After that, I’m finished. Yay. Just in time for graduation week the following week.
