SkyzykS's Keep Hitting It Until It Works Again Log

Was just reviewing the log in light of recent developments and I’m looking for anything I might have missed, or old habits that may have faded.

Realized I’ve lost touch with a lot of my internal motivation and should reignite my passion for making fun of limeys.

:grin:

Yeah!

I read through the procedure notes. Turns out that mid way down, my circumflex was 95% blocked.

After the anesthesia fully cleared I got hydrated and my energy level perked right up!

Had some discussion with an exercise physiologist about activity levels and whatnot, and have to review the info, but I think I’m limited to very light activity for about 3 weeks.

Edit: Also, Yeah! I’m home!

Thank you! Hope all is well with you & yours too!

I’m in a tricky position. With all 4 chambers pumping like they haven’t been able to in years my energy level is somewhere between high and ballistic.

But the movement and loading restrictions are what they are, restrictive.

The physio said I need to keep it down for a while to prevent reperfusion injury. The tissue of the affected area is weak and needs time to rebuild.

Ha! (apparently everybody else…)

It’s a very pernicious decline that really only gets steeper toward the end. Like the graph of the bending/breaking behavior of metals. Bend, return, permanent deformation, Streeeeeetch… Then SNAP. You’re dead.

Glad you’re back and running on all four cylinders!

Most people have to exert self-control and force themselves to exercise. You’re in the opposite boat, needing to use self-control to limit exercising for a little bit. The return on investment - a strong, healthy heart - is well worth it!

For today:

3.4 miles in 20 minutes.

Keeping things moving. Stretched a little because I’m feeling tight and creaky. Will take a light trail walk a little later because it’s unofficially the start of morel season.

That one girl in the audience has rhythm like a broken heart! :joy:

did you watch the “History of the Eagles” documentary that was out there awhile back?

» The Eagles’ Greatest Hit (grantland.com)

If not, definitely worth investing an evening. Wife and I have watched it several times. It’s gotta be somewhere on one of the various streaming services…

On the topic of recommendations, I highly recommend The Men Who Made America. It aired on history channel a couple years ago and is now of Amazon prime

Upon your recommendation, I did watch that. I was thinking beforehand “Ok, The Eagles, let’s see…” only to realize that they basically wrote the soundtrack to my entire upbringing.

I’ve seen a couple of these. There’s one that focuses on Andrew Carnegie and includes the roles of Mellon, Frick, Getty and some of the other industrialists of the time.

So, I’ll see your recommendation and raise you-The Food That Built America.

They have one for Heinz and one for Hershey. Both very good!
