We are now in American Heart Month, but we should pay attention to our hearts all year long, not just during February. Everything else your body does is dependent on how well your heart is working, so if it's at risk of problems, you need to find out why.
This is my final updated from my rehab period. For those who may not know or remember, I had a heart attack on January 9 and had two stints put in the vessels of my heart. I feel fortunate that what I received was a warning that I have not been treating my body well. During the last few months, I have been going through 36 sessions of physical rehab at the Bothwell Regional Health Center. I have n
This week, my workouts were cut short thanks to a cough and cold. Since I am feeling under the weather and am not breathing too good, it seemed like a good idea to skip Friday’s rehab.
Well, another week of rehab has passed, but this time I experienced a little glitch. On Tuesday I had some discomfort that I hope was just gas, but it did cause some chest pain.
I made it through another week of rehab at Bothwell Hospital. I have to admit, I did not lose any weight this time in spite of the fact that I was required to spend more time on all of the equipment.
It is time for another update on my cardio rehab at the Bothwell Hospital Rehab Center. My schedule has changed and now I don’t have to get up and around as early as before. I changed classes from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m., something my wife liked too. The workouts are getting longer and harder, but that is as expected.
Well, I have had several sessions at the rehab center of Bothwell Hospital, and I am enjoying them, I guess because I feel like I am at last doing something that is good for my health. I will have to admit the exercise has made me a little sore in spots, but I think that is a sign that I really need the activity.
This is the first update on my journey to a healthier heart. This Thursday, I will go to Bothwell Hospital to begin rehab to repair the damage done to my heart, when I had a heart attack on the Jan. 9.
I actually started this journey right after I woke up in the ICU at Boone Hospital in Columbia with two stints to keep the blood flowing from my heart. That was on Jan. 9 after I suffered a heart attack. At that point it was easy to promise myself, that I would do everything I could to never have a repeat of that scary event.
