Rehab

Went to cardiac rehab again today after canceling on Monday. (Canceled because there were too many things to do--too many places to be at once.) On Friday, I was told that they wouldn't "up" the time or reps on the equipment because my BP went up too high with exercise, although it came down nicely when done. (I believe the top number was 200.) Today, although I dread going because it interrupts my day, the BP stayed down and it all felt better. Easier. No rubbery legs afterward. Not so much huffing and puffing (although I did break a sweat). So...next time (Friday) I will have an extra minute on the treadmill and the bicycle. I can do this! What doctors say about endorphins and exercise is 100% true. The exercise DOES up my mood considerably. Of course, I can't keep going to rehab forever because it is expensive, so I need to substitute it with something I CAN afford. In the meantime, I am learning a little about taking care of myself. Now all I need is a reason to.

More later. Time to get the children in for supper.
