More exercise? Are you kidding?! Only joking! Yes, exercise is so essential. I’ve been doing exercise ever since my open heart surgery. Believe me, I would have never recovered without it! I’m not saying it’s been easy, but it certainly has been worth it! I wouldn’t take anything in exchange for my exercise. Three times a week I have been going to cardiopulmonary exercise, which includes stationary bicycle, treadmill, steps, weights and arm and chest procedures. I also walk everyday weather permitting using a walking pole. Today I reached a new distance of 2 ½ miles! Yes it hurt, especially my left leg with the neuropathy, but the further I walked, the better it got. As I said before, there is no room for complaints or excuses here, you just have to do it or lose your life! It’s that important!
