Prior to my surgery in October, I was an avid bowler. Bowled on leagues and practiced couple times a week. Being a very active person and not being able to do a lot of what I did prior to the surgery has really worked on me. I've been going to the gym and walking and doing light Nautilus to build myself back up. This past week I decided to give it a try. I wasn't sure how the first roll would be but to my surprise, NO PAIN! Bowled a couple games and didn't even get tired. :biggrin2: Going to take it easy and ease my way back into it, but it sure did help me mentally to know that I'm getting back to my old self again! I look forward to the days when I don't even think about having had open heart surgery.
