...and I survived!! They had me walk 30 minutes on the treadmill (at a blistering pace of 1mph), and I was very proud of myself for completing it! That was the most I had walked continuously for a long time. I have a feeling I will sleep well tonight. Tomorrow I will walk 30 minutes again, and also do some arm exercises and leg exercises with weights. A far cry from my hard core gym days, but hey, I will take it! Any exercise is good exercise right now!
I am getting a pretty good idea of the route to take to the hospital, but Paul plans to take me again tomorrow to my appointment. I think he would like to take me as much as his schedule allows, and I don't think I will mind that. I have a feeling the rehab session plus the commute, especially coming home in traffic, will be very tiring for me. But I do plan to drive it as much as needed.
Not much else to tell, I guess. I have Skyped with Renee, Shannon, and my aunt Nancy so far. It is pretty funny and much easier than I thought it would be!
Sounds like you're off to a good start with your exercise regimen! Lifting some weights, even small ones should help too. How far do you live from the hospital? I would like to Skype with you - I have never done it before! I need a lesson. Wishing all the best for you, love from KY:)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear your first day of rehab went so well. And as far as letting Paul drive you to rehab again. Let Him!! I know, Ms. Independence, how hard it is for you to let people help you, but take him up on the offer occasionally. Miss you and glad to see you are doing well. Keep up the good work
