Well, almost... I'm still taking lots of pills and trying to regain my strength, but I'm getting there. The on-going problem with my vein-donor leg is still an issue, and I'm scheduled for some ultrasounds over the next few days to see if circulation is okay. Meanwhile, I'm to wear thigh-high compression stockings.
Plus, I just finished my third week of cardio rehab. Nine more weeks to go. I'm glad I signed up for it.
And I'm doing daily walks that when combined with my normal walking, total 3 miles or more according to my FitBit watch that also gives me other data, including weekly reports on my progress. I try to add a few more steps each day. So far, so good.
But Dr. Aduli (my cardiologist) emphasized caution on what I do and avoid trying to do too much.
Even my ophthalmologist, Dr. McComiskey, said my vision after the cataract surgery in January was good. I easily read the 20/25 line and later the 20/20 line as I relaxed.
I've really wanted to get back to doing some of the lawn care, making sawdust and just doing simple , but necessary, tasks around here. Like, make a panel to fit into the garage window for the portable A/C we bought. Seems to work just fine now.
And as of this morning I weigh 10 pounds less than I did going into surgery. I'll continue with my efforts to lose some weight.
In spite of my leg problems, I actually feel pretty good.
