Thirty minute walk today in my hilly urban neighborhood My ears were cold when I got back, it was a breezy 49 degrees. If you enlarge the picture you can see the Cincinnati skyline in the background.
When I got home my oxygen level was 94. After a minute, 96.
I'm pleased about this. Two months ago at the doctor's office I couldn't complete the six minute walk test. When my son-in-law dropped me off in front of the building I had to sit in a lobby chair when I waited for him.
Day to day, there sometimes seems like little improvement. Sometimes it's nice to see a bigger picture.

You are doing so well! That is such good news! I'm still dealing with shortness of breath, lethargy, and swelling in the ankles. I'm past six months post-surgery; I'm thinking it's going to take all of a year and possibly longer (as the doctors in Cleveland had suggested) to completely recover from all of that heart mess this past year. Although our health issues were different, I find encouragement in your progress.
