I realized just how much I still get to see in life this morning. If all goes well. And if Mackenzie, my daughter, stays in the school till 6th grade, I will have roughly 100 more of these to attend.
Tonight, I get to see Kerry & Ashley (my son and wife) in A Christmas Carol. Mommy is the Ghost of Christmas Present. I find it ironic that SHE is the pale one who resembles a ghost over the next couple of nights & not me.
Things like this, like community sing and theatrical performances, are what are going to keep me on track at the cardiac rehab program.
I was back there again today & did pretty well again, but it is going to be a slog. It is lot's of walking and seated stretches. I was 20 yrs younger than anyone else there, and I felt a little goofy. But, I must keep going, I must keep working because I have 100 more renditions of the song, "People All Over the World" left to sing with my kids.
Lesson Learned: Rehab will not be fun, or exciting, but it WILL give me the ability to do the things that ARE. When you are given the opportunity to participate in a physical rehab program, take it and use it to the fullest...no matter how you feel on day 1.
Nov. 22 & 23 - Time in the Cardio-Vascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU)
I promised you all a look at me in the hospital today & here it comes.
Mind you, there is nothing gory or particularly gross (other than my face as usual), but it is pictures of a sick person in a hospital bed. Also, these ARE selfies, so they are not the worst I looked. I don't believe anyone took pictures of me at the worst...thankfully
Here they are:
Pic. 1 - Me alone late Sunday night. That isn't bad lighting, that is my color.
Pic. 2 - If you think MY color was bad, look at that tongue. Purple and twice the normal size.
Pic. 3 - Four days later & it is finally starting to look "normal".
Pic. 4 - I'm home here. This is the remnants of the impact this little event had on my eyeballs.
That's about it for today. God bless and have a great day.
