It's been 2 weeks since my procedure, and I am blessed with many cards, and phone calls inquiring about my health, and well being. I am determined to change my food habits, and increase my exercise to prevent this from happening again. I went back to work on Tuesday, the 24th, still stuffed up, and coughing non-stop. The next day, I saw my regular Dr. for a follow-up visit, and she put me on Zithomax for 3 days to help clear my head. It may have helped some, but until today, I was still coughing, and blowing my nose. (Like everyone wants to read that). She did show me my test results from the nuclear scan, where they took pictures of my blood flow to the heart, and they stated everything looked normal. Glad my doctor took exception to that when I was doing the stress test, and scheduled me to see the cardiologist. She wonders if I may have to have the angiocath again to determine the status of my blood vessels. I sure hope there is another way to visulize them without having to have that done each time.
I'm watching Lorrie's children 2 days a week. Last week, we went to the 2 playgrounds in town. Sawyer cracks me up, watching him trying to do everything Jonnie, and Alaina does. No fear in that child. (except for the dogs...no,no Mac, no, no Mahlee!) This week, we invited Alaina and Jonnie to spend the night on Thursday. They want to sleep in the camper. Grandpa says he'll sleep with them. I worked Friday and Saturday @ the hospital, but luckily got an on call Sunday, so I could go with Dad to Alaina and Sawyer's birthday party. It was a beautiful day, sunny, and a little windy, but that didn't stop the cousins from jumping in the cold swimming pool water. I glad Dad and I came as we were the representatives of the LeBon family. (I know you were there in spirit, Dittey).
I started cardiac rehab on Monday. Mostly, I sat and listened to what the program is about, how they'll monitor my exercise, and have me consult with a dietician. I did get to walk on the treadmill for 6 mins. while they checked my blood pressure before and after, and check how I was feeling. I'll be going Mon, Wed, and Fridays, for possibly 12 weeks, depending how I do.
And finally, this week, I found my dress for the wedding. It was in sage green, my size, and way reduced in price. It was meant for me!

I'm glad you are feeling better. Wow...what a doozy of a cold you got there! Can't wait to see your dress. It sounds like it was meant for you. Is is long? What's the top of it like?
Glad to hear that cardio-rehad is going o.k. so far. Can't wait to hear of all the things you learn there. It will probably help us all out.
Can't wait to see pics of Alaina and Sawyer's birthday party. I was so sad that day, not being there.
Have a great slumber party with Alaina and Jonnie. Sounds like a blast for them!
I hope your cold is clearing up finally! I hope everything continues to go well, and that the rehab really helps you with your goals. Sounds like a great program!
