Today is my 2 week birthday :) I think jet lag is pretty much behind me. I slept in big time this morning, and I really slept!! We had our 1, 3, & 6 year old grandsons here for the afternoon. We walked to the store (slowly) for slushies. I had a blanket with me to sit on so we took a little break on the way back.
One thing I really noticed, is when I used to wear out, I had to lay flat every 1/2 hour at least, just flat because my back and neck would be hurting so much. Now just sitting down for a few minutes does the trick!
I am going to keep up with posts the best I can, but I'm seriously going to take it easy and just 'go with the flow' for the next couple of weeks. I have to learn to listen to entirely different messages from my body, and give my body time to heal.
Guy wanted to take me to pick out a new golf driver, then mentioned maybe that's not a good exercise for me just yet, because of the surgery and the stent. I think he may be on to something so I'm going to try some yoga and palades. I did buy a wii fit (my grandsons think I'm their hero now) so I'll try that by starting slowly. I never realized how atrophied some of my major muscles had become.
Oh, and I also noticed my posture is much better, more each day. My shoulders used to roll forward and Guy felt I was in danger of developing a dowager's hump, but for the first time in many years, I don't have to consciously and purposely force my back straighter and shoulders back.

I also forgot. Today I was showering and I caught myself STANDING with my eyes CLOSED rinsing my hair!!! That should have had me bouncing off the shower doors and walls!
