Cardio Workout! AND THANKS!!
It is amazing what medical miracles allow us to do! Last night I played 7 innings in my over 60 softball league! This morning I did my 3 mile workout & came home & mowed the grass! I have not done this lately - THANK YOU!

Two & a Half Years After Open Heart Surgery!
Two & a Half Years After Open Heart Surgery! Looking in the rear view mirror, the operation at times seems like a dream! Here are my observations:
1 - It is easy to go back into the "old"ways that made this happen! Diet, exercise, & life style are all choices! Especially in times of stress! It is easy to give into the food that comforts you! It is easy to sit in front of the TV instead of walking 3 miles! Plan your diet! Plan your exercise!!
2 - Genetics are relevant! Know your roots! Listen to older relatives! Ask questions!
3 - Understand your meds!! Take the time to research your medicines that doctors give for your health issues! DO NOT think a doctor has all the answers!
4 - DO NOT assume your doctors are talking to each other! EVEN IN THE SAME PRACTICE! Keep notes after your visits & share with your doctors! As you get older, your list of doctors grows - share information!
5 - Share your expertise with others & listen to others! Your friends & relatives can be a BIG help! I remember listening to older people talk about their health issues & saying, "Old people talk too much about their health issues!" Now it dominates my conversations!
6 - Start your bucket list!! If you search the internet, you will find MANY ideas! Here is one:
The list is personal, but look for your ideas! More ideas to come!
