I went to the cardiologist today and had a great check-up.  I don't need to see him for a year!  Before cancer  I would not have known what a good report that is.  We get lulled into a everything being routine.  Before cancer, I would go to the doctor and thought it was a waste of my money.  Now I know the importance of hearing those words that all is fine.  Many of my doctors have become more than a person, they are my friends.  These friends are not the same people that I would hangout with, but the kind of friend that cares how I am feeling.  I do not want to go to a doctor that thinks I am a number. My belief is that mine are more than that.  Make sure that you have confidence in your doctor and that they are true professionals.  

Keep Fighting

Exercise

The doctors all say exercise more.  Sometimes I wonder with what time am I suppose to exercise.  I know it is important, but hard to do.  I bought a fitbit.  www.fitbit.com    It has changed the way I look at exercise.  It is similar to a pedometer, but it will send me a report.  My goal is 10,000 steps a day and 10 flights a day.  It has been quit easy to accomplish.  At the end of the week it sends me a report for the week.  I was excited last week when I reached 250 miles of walking.  It was reached by in about 8 weeks. I know the more I exercise the less aches and pains. You might want to check it out.
