I'm two weeks post-op, and finally healing, and feeling pretty good. When I was still pre-op, I went to the all the necessary doctor appointments, and one of them was the cardiologist. I had never gone before, I hadn't really thought too much about heart health. Today I had a stress test that we had tried to get in before the surgery, and even though I'm post-op, my doctors said I should just keep the appointment anyway.

I'm really glad I went. I saw my heart, and I saw the healthy pumping and beating that it did. I couldn't believe how strong and efficient it was. Although I'm overweight, my heart is strong and healthy and it works so hard for ME.

I'm going to work hard for IT. I'm not going to disappoint it. I'm going to take care of my heart. I'm going to finish this Protein shake, put on my sneakers, and go to the gym.

Long, rambling post on something that might not really interest anyone, but I just feel so empowered right now. Thanks for listening.
