Revision TKR Story of My Knees by RestAssured: Pt 3

[RestAssured]

@Celle
You know me! I rode the recumbent bike for an hour and went 8.34 miles![emoji41]

 

[Celle]

And you know me, Sonja! I'm always the voice of caution. Don't join the ODIC for your heart recovery.

@RestAssured what do you do while riding the recumbent bike? Even with mine in front of the TV I get bored. I need to up my mileage. Years ago when I biked 10 miles a day I read while I biked, hut find I can't do that anymore.

 

[RestAssured]

I listen to my IPhone

Dr. Z told me I could start back after a week! Unfortunately due to the fact I had pneumonia, I had to wait 2 weeks!

 

[Celle]

I'm not surprised that Dr Z told you that you could start back with exercises at one week. i bet he didn't know how much you work out, though! Build up those exercises very gently and slowly.

 

[Randi]

I hope someday to be excited about working out ...Not likely !!!

@Celle

Surely you don't think I SUDDENLY became "shy" when talking about my exercise routine! He told me that he has to encourage most people to exercise!

He told me that I was "way ahead of the curve!"

He knows I have a trainer, I work out hard 5 days a week, and that Abby and I are watching "me"! ... Abby like a hawk! She is challenging me, but she is being vigilant!

@Randi

The rush I get from exercising keeps me upbeat!

 

[SuperSnapper]

Pleased to hear of the improvements in your health!

 

[Randi]

@Randi

The rush I get from exercising keeps me upbeat!

Okay... I might just try that in a few weeks... Right now I'm just trying to stay calm until Monday

 

[RestAssured]

@Randi

The rush won't happen in a day either! LOL If it did all the gyms would be overflowing! It takes 6 weeks to really begin to appreciate how you feel; but if you can stick with that then you have a great chance of getting that "rush" that I am referring to!

 

[RestAssured]

Well, I had my 2 week checkup w Dr. Z and he told me I am in Atrial Tachycardia. He explained that before I left Shannon Hospital he had asked them to Cardiovert me back to Sinus! These past two weeks I thought I was in Sinus rhythm! I am on a special heart med that had to be ordered so I will start it tomorrow. If it doesn't "kick" my heart back into Sinus rhythm, in 3 weeks Dr. Z is looking at the possibility of another Cardioversion![emoji15][emoji102]

 

[RestAssured]

Oh he said continue exercising, just keep track of my heart rate![emoji4]

Never a dull moment....hang in there! Dawn

Never a dull moment....hang in there! Dawn

I live for "exciting the masses!" [emoji41][emoji1]

 

[Dhare63]

And you never disappoint!

 

[RestAssured]

One thing I will never have to worry about is scar tissue sticking around for long! Today as I was getting out of the tub w my left foot, my right foot slipped and I did a perfect lunge! Well, not exactly planned but none the worse for wear!

 

[Celle]

Hi Sonja! I'm glad your slip while getting out of the tub didn't do any harm, but . . . . please stop trying to entertain the masses!

Do look after yourself. We care.

 

[KneeAware]

I have to once again suggest "bubble wrap"...
