Lifting, walking, standing and continuously moving for each of the eight hours I am there. Coreg and Lasix are my two new drugs. Lisinopril was doubled. I have a review next week with the cardiologist. Probably drop the Lasix. We shall see. Quit smoking eighteen years ago. Four packs a day and I quit "cold turkey". That was the last time I let them "own me". All of the ten or twelve x-rays show my lungs as clear. The day before I drove to the emergency room was the last day I had a drink. Drinking is no longer an option. If I can quit smoking with no gimmicks I can stop drinking. Changed to a cardio friendly and (though I'm not diabetic) a diabetic diet. I lost twelve pounds in the last two weeks and am going to continue so that my meds are reduced or discontinued. I am hoping to see improvement in the heart next week. Anything is better than it operating at 28%. I'll be disappointed if it is not. But, a part of the muscle was damaged and it will take time. I am also a realist. Thanks for sharing. HSL RE: Sixty-two wake up call - Big Dawg - 01-06-2016 Ed, Sorry to hear this! Good for you for quitting smoking. Good luck on the weight loss & alcohol reduction/absence. Please make all your doctor appointments. I now get on the treadmill for 45 minutes & go 2 miles. It is not as much as I would like but it is a starting point. I threw myself into my career years ago & failed to take care of myself as I should have. It is never too late to start. (Well It can be if one waits too long. ) Anyway hope 2016 is a good one for you. I know you have a tough fight but you are no quitter. Jack RE: Sixty-two wake up call - Herr Straße Laufer - 01-06-2016 Thanks Jack! If I was not a quitter I'd still be drinking and smoking? LOL! Down by 15 pounds now and counting. At work I put on a pedometer. Even at my reduced pace and restrictions I am walking 5 to 6 miles per day and burning up to 2500 calories per day. Working is good for me, for sure! Eating right can't hurt. I remember the old saying, "There is no right time to do the wrong thing or wrong time to do the right thing." And, time is so valuable I do not want to waste it. HSL |
