This blog is a thank-you, and a progress report. It is a therapy session to assist in recovery form a heart attack. It might even turn into a charitable giving campaign...who knows. An outpouring of love and support has created this page. Since I can not possibly say thank you for all of the wonderful things that have been done for my family, I hope this will suffice. With love and thanks, Craig

I am excited, and I am nervous...tomorrow I see my cardiologist for the first time in 6 months.
The excitement comes form the fact that I get to find out how I am doing.
I mean, how am I doing from the eating standpoint?
How am I doing from the exercise standpoint.
And...by extension, how is my heart REALLY doing?
I mean, I can guess that I am doing fine. I can eat as well as I think I need to and believe I am doing the right things. Wednesday morning I'll know.
The nerves are being frayed because I will hear form the Dr. if I am doing the right things...
As you all know....all of you that have been reading and not falling asleep....I have ben hitting a bit of a plateau lately & workouts are getting to be a challenge.
Well, on Wednesday, I get to find out if my heart is the cause of that plateau or not. That is exciting, but also nerve racking. I mean, I am excited that I will not have to hope anymore, but I am also nervous because I may find out that I have been wrong and there is a blockage somewhere, or there is damage I didn't know about.
I am nervous that I will find out that I have been getting lazy and not paying enough attention to my diet and workouts; am I getting "complacent".
AND, I am nervous at what I might find out is the consequence of being complacent. Will I be told to cut out more kinds of food? Will I be told to be less active? Will I have to undergo some sort of procedure; an angioplasty, and angiogram, a bypass?
I know...I am being a bit over the top, but it all flows through your mind when you are seeing the Doctor for the first time in 6 months, and you are only 11 months from your heart attack.
Tomorrow is my last rehab session before my appointment....guess I'll have to make it count.
I'll let you know how it all goes later in the week.
Goo night & God bless.
