4 Weeks since Surgery

Hey I’ve survived 4 weeks and my first full week of Cardiac Rehab! The exercise every morning feels really good now that I’m getting use to it.  My rehab class is M-W-F mornings at the hospital for about 45 minutes.  There are 7 of us, all men, that are...

Back to work, PART-TIME!

As I reach the three week mark (tomorrow), I’m gaining more strength every day.  I was back at my desk this morning, but only for a couple hours at a time.  It was good to be back at my desk, and the chest pain is still quite manageable.  I took a short...

Feeling ALOT Better

Hi Everyone.  Sorry I haven’t been very active in posting anything here this week.  I know everyone is wondering how I have been doing. Since my last post, I have been outside a couple times to visit the Kearney Clinic to have my Coumadin levels tested.  They...

Friday – end of wk 1

Well, I have made it through the week.  It’s getting really old to just sit in this recliner all day, and I’m really hopefull that tomorrow we might be able to make an attempt to venture upstairs, and maybe even outside. The weather has been fairly warm...

Meds, Meds, Meds

I’m plugging away slow but steady.  I’m really not in any hurry to feel better faster yet though.  I’m contented to take each day slowly, and take what it gives me.  I am a bit tired of being coupled up in the basement, and would like the fresh air,...

Thursday Night

Dad said he didn’t feel much like posting, he is tired. Adam, Joel and I got back from Kansas City today. Dad was glad we went and had some fun, and he was right, it was nice to get out of town. Not much eventful went on today, tonight we ate some tacos and...

Day One – Day Two

After two full days home and two nights of rest is my own bed, I’m gaining strength each day.  I was so eager to eat home cooking, but I think my tastebuds are still on hospital time. MONDAY I had a pretty good nights sleep on Sunday evening, with just one minor...

Back home today

This will be a short post, before I go to bed for the night.  I was released from Good Samaritan this afternoon at about 2:00, after spending only 5 days in the hospital. It is truly amazing what I have been through this week.  I will post more thoughts beginning...

At Home!

Dad is at home, sitting in the recliner chair, watching TV. It is so nice to have him home and I am sure it feels good to be home. I went up to visit him this morning and the talk was still that he may be able to go home. Before I left to go to work the Doctor came in...

Kim and Tim

Kim and Tim arrived in town a couple of hours ago around 11:00 am to see Dad. They came up with Grammie in their new nice “cash for clunkers” ride. Nice to see them visit. Dad was glad to see them as well and appreciated that they made the drive. For lunch...
