Today was one of those days that I did NOT feel like going to rehab....sluggish and grumpy and in no mood to be sweating and trying to breathe through a darn mask on the treadmill and elliptical. I dragged myself in there, told the nurses I felt like I was having palpitations, and jokingly asked them twice during my workout if I was about to die (they assured me that my heart was fine, so I have no idea what the palpitation feeling is)......but I made it through my entire workout, and actually felt better by the time I was done. I am as proud as if I ran a 5K, lol. I'm taking baby steps, but considering I had a major attack that could have easily done me in 60 days ago, I've decided to pat myself on the back for every little accomplishment.
I hope all of you are doing well, taking your steps toward healing, and feeling good about it.....
