Dear Penny:
Not much new to report except that I seem to get stronger daily. Still tire out around 8:00 PM but that�s to be expected. Still have the creepy things crawling around in my chest and the incision is sensitive but not uncomfortable or sore. Gotta� love that crazy glue.
I�ve been doing some light rehab at home on my stationary bike and treadmill. Can go as long as I want on the bike and up to ten minutes on the treadmill at 1.5MPH. I probably could go longer but I don�t want to overdo it.
Next week I�ll start a 2 session per week rehab at Temple. Thought it best to start there because they are experienced with LVRS patients. I�ll go to Bryn Mawr after the New Year.
If anyone asks you about the value of rehab, please impress on them that the stronger your muscles are the less O2 needed to help you do things. It really helped me.
