Hello everyone I thought I would update you all on my health since it has been a few months since I had my heart attack. I have been seeing the doctor every other week and progress has been slow but very good. On July the 4th I went for a stress test and the specialist was unsure as to why I was even there! I am not sure whether to take that as a good thing or not but hey! LOL. I went to see the doctor again on the 13th but he hadn't gotten the results back yet. I have now been given the go ahead to walk 2 miles a day instead of just the 1 which is good. Actually he said I MUST walk 2 miles a day! LOL. Of course if I am busy working and being active then it is not necessary. I told him I had volunteered for working the concession stand at a play for the weekend and he was thrilled (I thought he would give me heck cause I am not supposed to be working!) I also told him I had volunteered to help get the site ready. So needless to say I am feeling much much better now but still listening to the doc. I have friends that make sure of that! :) Thank you in advance for your comments.

Yes it is and I love walking, always have. I was walking 6+ miles before the heart attack so this is very difficult for me to not just keep going! LOL I know I can't push it though. I am still very nervous and envision myself doing something and feeling that dreaded pain again but I know it is just me worrying. :)

This is great. I will continue to pray for you. I think it is great that you are able to get back to doing things it sounds like you love. Keep up the great progress and take care. Don't push yourself too hard.

That is fantastic! I know you must be relieved to know you can exercise more than you have been. I would be so wary of over doing it. Congratualtions on the good report!

Yes I am wary of overdoing it. It is frustrating when the only exercise you can do is that 1 or 2 mile walk. or the equivalent to that. LOL. My friends a very impressed though I have been very good and listening to the doc. which is probably a first for me! :P
