If I'm honest...
...there is an element of the fates involved, yes, but I'm now cleared to return to duty after this exercise, whatever I feel like I'm capable of. Since the heart itself is fine, those things I love doing aren't off the table, though I have to be aware of the effects of a blood pressure med he wants me on for another four weeks and the platelet inhibitor I'm on for a year. Given this would have been a sternum cracker even ten years ago, its really pretty amazing. As far as dropping a few stone, it wouldn't hurt me either. GRIN! It's something I'm pretty interested in also for spinal reasons, in all seriousness. Spring is coming so the outdoor walking trails beckon.
