Pulmonary Heart Valve Replacement : 2011 - 17


Tuesday June 21, 2011:
I was up just one time during the night.

The weight has not budged since yesterday.

The surgery was on June 1. It is the 3 week mark.

I walked 2 Xs yesterday for 10 - 12 minutes. This morning I've already walked 15 minutes. It was harder to walk the 10 minutes on Sunday than the 15 minutes this morning. Normal is happening.

The vein rawness in my right arm is slowly going away.

I put the TEDs back on because I saw a slight swelling in my right leg. My best guess is the swelling is a reaction to the walking program in progress. I will try to go without in a few days and see what happens.

Tomorrow is the first follow up appointment with my cardiologist. I look forward to new information and direction. 'When can I start weaning off the nasty heart meds?', is top of my list.

Pulmonary Heart Valve Replacement : 2011 - 14

Saturday June 18, 2011:

Larry and Cassie left for Michigan this morning. Phil drove me to the Weight Watchers weigh in his morning. There was a weight loss last week, despite my corruption of my meals. Now my play time is over and I need to become intentional about the program. Maybe after I eat some more orange sherbert.

Yesterday I sat through the church league double header. Today I am tired. It was worth it. I am ready for my 2nd nap.

It is also the first warm day since my internal thermostat reset. That may have something to do with my tired.

The incision is still itchy, but it has not been sufficiently annoying to take a Tylenol@.

The new scale did arrive yesterday. It comes with batteries. They were not good batteries, so I replaced them and the scale works as described.
