Patience is always a little more difficult when it comes to dealing with your own health or the health of a loved one. I am learning that unless you are in the hospital undergoing tests, the only thing you can count on is waiting. Thankfully I am still getting around and working out without any significant problems, but I am getting more anxious to have more tests run. My biggest problems since the heart attack are the constant confusion, random sharp chest pains and my inability to enjoy a deep breath. The later is really annoying. I will be lying down and it feels as if I am trying to breath under a blanket, this is when I have to sit up and take several breaths while opening up my back to actually get in a deep breath of air. I really dislike this! Nothing feels better than having air fill my lungs...sad I never thought I would think like this. Anyways, as a result of these feelings I have been getting a little more anxious to have the auxiliary tests run, but between the hospital and my insurance it is turning into a long road! Hopefully I will be able to have them done soon.
I have had a lot more down time from the exercise lately as work has been crazy. I did run for almost 3 miles yesterday. The one thought that I always try to keep in the forefront of my mind is that 2 weeks is all it takes to lose the progress made. I enjoy the workouts, but I am also running a little low on energy. I need to start finding a new source of energy...I liked having energy!
