Cardio Rehab and Canada day celebration plan

Last Wednesday was my second Cardio rehab session and I have no trouble with the training. As I left the session we were given homework to do. It is the same set of walking exercise I have been doing during the last two sessions.

I am still able to maintain my blood pressure, blood sugar and weight. This coming Wednesday there is no rehab session because it is a national holiday. However, I will be out walking as much as I could for my exercise and enjoy the Canada Day celebration at Mississauga City Hall. At the same time I am hoping to take as many photographs as possible for this year Canada Day celebration.

Definitely not ready to go back to work yet

My last visit to my doctor (Dr. Rodney Ng) was a week ago. I had to do a complete blood test every quarter and the first was last week. Since I did not receive any call from my doctor’s office it must mean good news. On June 10th 2009 I was at Trillium West Health Center for my first stress test for the Cardio Rehab. After paying $15.00 for parking at the hospital I was told that all the paper work was not sent to the center for my test and nearly had to be re-scheduled (almost – just remind me of my cancellation on March 20th 2009 open heart surgery).

My next appointment will be on Jun 19th 2009 to go over my 12 rehab sessions. I will have to make an appointment with my cardiologist sometime next week and dentist too.

I am still able to maintain my weight at 163 lbs. Not much changes in my diet since being discharge from the hospital. I still keep a rigid 2 hours of walking daily and waiting for completion of my cardio rehab to start running to prepare myself for the eventual return to active badminton games.

On my last visit to the doctor I did ask him if I can start work soon but was told that I am definitely not ready and fully healed to return to work yet.
