Two Good Appointments


Hi All-
Yesterday, Friday the 7th, I had an Echocardiogram. I was in and out in 20 minutes. Great experience, zero pain/discomfort. Then, I got to go up and see Dr.Hersh (my Plastics doc) and he gave me a filler up in both expanders. I was anticipating lots of pain. NOT.....just a smidge/tiny/tiny bit. He added 60cc to both sides; which expands me now to 260cc in both sides. Today I'm having a bit of chest pressure, but it's to be expected.
Doc cleared me to exercise/jog again. He made reference to how healthy Lance Armstrong was (he shoulda died he was soooooooo sick), so he said go for it. However, my over protective husband, said "no" to running, and only allowed me to speed walk. Said I'd burn the same calories." Either way it felt good to get out there and sweat. I'll jog when he goes back to work
Thank you for all the wonderful entries all of you have made. You might not know this, but every morning and every evening before bed, I re-read every word that all of you have written. There is this card a very special fella gave me also, that I read twice a day. These items are my daily pep talk. I thank each one of you!
Talk to you soon. Appointments on the 10th, 11th, and 13th so I'll write again soon. ~Tiffany~
