That is scary! Very glad he got in touch with you, but hopefully the short delay did not make matters worse. Keep us posted on his condition.

Denial is a huge factor in people having a cardiac event.
I am amazed how many doctors don't prescribe cardiac rehab. It's always holistic and involves both physical and mental health. It's never too late to start.
I hope you get a break, soon, Red.

So, his nurse brought up rehab today before I even got there, and sent a note to his doctor to see if he's a good candidate, which makes me relieved. He's up and walking and seems totally normal. Just being in the hospital is sooooo boring. He is handling that part better than I would. And the food is as junky as the cliche says, but the staff are great, especially the nurses. If anyone on here is a nurse, I tip my hat to you. You are the best. It really takes a special kind of amazing person to do what they do.

Red, I hope your brother is able to make some lifestyle changes that will get him a little healthier. I'm sure he's happy to have a supportive sister like you.
I've been upping my fitness walking after a 'slow spell' where I've slowly but steadily been getting out of shape. Also added yoga several times a week. So I pulled out my trusty pedometer that's always been so dependable...
Wow, I was more out of shape than I thought, because it seemed so hard to walk a measley 2 miles now! I used to walk 5 miles every other day no problem, but now it took forever to achieve two miles. But I've kept plugging at it for the past three months. I just got used to a puny 2 miles being the new '5 mile standard' instead.
Last week my pedometer konked out and I couldnt find the right battery (try buying a battery right after a hurricane). I figured I deserved a new one anyway after all these years so I ordered a fancy new one online, and it came right away. I set it up (I know my stride length already) and went for my usual walk this morning. First I checked it two times by walking 100 steps, and sure enough it registered exactly 100 steps, each time.
Um....turns out my supposed 2 mile walk which seemed to take forever is actually a 3.5 mile walk. The new pedometer said so, and at home I mapped my route online to double check, and yes it was indeed 3.5 miles. Duh!
So, that was great, I've been walking a lot more than I thought i had been, and it wasn't taking me forever to walk 2 miles after all! Pretty good feeling.
Yay for pedometers that work right!

That's a riot, Lisa! I'm so glad it was the pedometer and not you!!
By the way, thanks again for the yogic "push"! I went to class Thursday at my usual studio and yesterday and today at the new studio. It just feels so, so good. Between that, resistance work and running, I am feeling as close to my old self as I've felt in a long while. I'm positive it's the additional yoga classes. The Sunday heated class at 4:30 is the perfect way to end the weekend/begin the week!

Indy, that's great to hear. Keep it up!
I'm not sure which is doing me more good- the fitness walking or the yoga, but together they are actually making a big difference in how I feel and little differences in how I look. I notice I'm standing and sitting straighter, my skirt waistbands and my bras are not quite as tight, I can now put my pants on one leg at a time while standing without leaning against the wall (that's a noticeable change, lol!), and I've lost a total of 4 pounds so far in 3 months. That's not a lot to lose, but hey it's going in the other direction from what it had been, with no special dieting on my part. Plus I must be building muscle for sure.

Pax - what Indy said. Have a very nice and stress-free Thanksgiving!
I had an unexpected ride today; well, actually, I am still on the ride. My 2:30 client cancelled, so I went home so I could vote. I rode to the polling place, but it was too early to ride to my client who lives 5.5 miles fro my house. So I decided to do my short loop, since the kid lives right off of it. Right now I am sitting on a bench in front of Ferns in Carlisle; got about ten minutes to kill. I am wearing my new Assos winter jacket I got for half price. It's really snug, but warm. So warm, I need a lighter mid layer.
Well, I have my lights and my stuff for my session, plus I'll get close to a 20 mile ride.

Pax, good to see you pop in....I hope things are going smoothly with you and your loved ones.
Crankin- I have to hand it to you, ridin' in the cold!
Today my mate and i walked down into the village to have breakfast and then go vote. I was about 40F but very sunny, so perfect walking weather. Since we were out and about already, we extended our walk and did a brisk 4 miles altogether. Very pleasant way to get some exercise in today! Right now I'm bottling up the 42 pounds of beautiful pure golden honey i got from my bees this year- it came to about 4 gallons... woo-HOOO!

Forty two pounds!!! That's awesome! Where do you sell it (assuming you sell it)?

Pax - good to see you, hope you're hanging in there.
Crankin - I can barely drag myself out for a run before midday when there's frost on the ground!
Lisa - the 5.4 mile out-and-back WAS our walk to the polling place and back. It was a nice sunny day here too, and a nice walk, but a little darker than I'd have liked by the time we got back. At least I had hi-viz gear on, my DH wore his cloak of invisibility. And yum, fresh honey. Mmmmmmmm.
