After yesterday’s dismal post, I didn’t want to leave you worrying about my health.
I went in for the stress test today. It wasn’t fun, but I did okay. As I was walking out of the hospital, I realized I felt FANTASTIC.
My doctor has been after me to exercise more, but I haven’t been very good about doing it because I feel like I can’t get enough air. But I realized, after the stress test and the REALLY deep breathing that it required, I had gotten a lot more oxygen in my system than usual, and I couldn’t believe the energy and feeling of well-being I experienced.
So….. Now I know that getting exercise isn’t just something that I am “supposed” to do. It’s magic!
So, between thunderstorms tomorrow, I will get the window put in. Now I am chomping at the bit to get it done!

/ June 26, 2013Glad to hear it was nothing major. We would all do better with more exercise, but it’s hard to do here in the hot, muggy, South.

I’m looking forward to trails in the mountains in July!
