Yes, it is very important to make it clear how much exercise and what intensity level you do, because as we have both found out, many physicians have no concept of what we do, even though it is nowhere near competitive level. It's a lot more than what they envision, i.e. taking a walk a few days a week, or a few classes at the gym. And this becomes even more important as you age. Anyway, DH is about to ditch his cardiologist for the one he went to for a second opinion. It's a bit of a pain to go into the city, but this guy is used to working with athletes and is on the cutting edge of treatment, being at a hospital that is known around the world.
I think i need to start standing more, too, although I don't think I can do therapy standing up... I've noticed changes in my body, since I stopped teaching, which is a much more active job.
