...Cherries.

Thought you guys might be interested in reading about this form of exercise. I just found out about it from a friend on FB (former high school classmate is opening a studio, I think). http://www.hoopnotica.com/

Wise, I think the only reason I haven't gained more is because the twins didn't let me slow down long enough to eat a full meal the first 7 months! LOL And now, I try to cook healthy for them, so it trickles down to me. Also, we really don't have the money to eat out. *shrug* I think the key...

I can't imagine working in that environment even if I didn't have a heart issue!

Here I was about to post my long list of meds and then I read Ross's. Should have known he'd top us all! I've been on meds for as long as I can remember, though. Been taking dig since I was 6 or 7, I think. The list keeps getting longer, sadly. Right now my meds consist of: Coumadin (2...

Stayed the same. *sigh* Earlier in the week I was down 2 lbs. But I ate Whataburger for lunch yesterday, so I guess I ruined it. Dang it. :frown2:

Wow, Rhena! There's no way I'd be able to sit at a table with chips/salsa or nachos without stuffing my face (those are, unfortunately, two of my weaknesses). I'm impressed! Though, as much as I love margaritas, I did not indulge in the $2 ones the other night because (sadly) they make my...

How did I know that would be your comment, Ross? :tongue2:

I honestly don't remember. How sad is that. :rolleyes2:

Yes, I have a terrible time with this heat. There was actually ONE summer that I wasn't effected. It was two years ago. I attribute it to my bi-v ICD. But that September a lead broke and (three surgeries to fix it later) I haven't been the same since. :( It's really difficult, since I live...

Hey! My 8 year valvaversary is tomorrow! I didn't realize we had the same day. How cool is that?! Tell the St. Jude crowd "hi" from my valve. :wink2:

Thanks for the update, Lyn! It's always good to hear about other "heart kids" who are doing well (or as well as can be expected). :biggrin2:

Hi! I had my VR done at Texas Children's as well (I was 25 at the time). My surgeon was Dr. Charles Frasier. The hospital is fantastic. They really do a wonderful job of making it a place to get better, rather than a place to be sick. I also have a St. Jude's valve and have been taking...

Marsha, the babies are well, but I've got a sinus infection that won't go away. At least, I assume that's what it is. Haven't been to the doc. I know, I should probably go, but there just isn't really any time. I keep hoping it will resolve itself on its own. Cooker, :p Missed you.

I completely understand about the swelling feet and legs the hotter it gets! I have this problem too (but I also have CHF). Makes me long to summer in the north or something. As for the ticking still driving you crazy, I had the same experience for a LONG time after surgery (I'm 8 years post...

(((hugs))) to you, Kathy. I know it can't be easy living with all the stress you have on you. Thank you for giving us an update. Your mom is lucky to have you.

I blinked and missed the last year. Either that or I was just too tired. ;)

I generally just wear my own pj bottoms. Like Nancy said, the hospital gowns make it easier to change without disturbing IV lines. One thing I've always done is ask for a second gown that I put on backwards (ties in the front) as a robe. That way there aren't any gaps for people to peer into...

As you wish...

Wait a minute... Did I read something about visiting Texas???
