    Mike buddy I’ve been on vacation and just saw this. I’ve got life group tomorrow night and we’ll make sure we get some prayer warriors after this. Stay strong brother.

    @CTMike - Way to bring it as you are right, the med community is not used to someone holding them accountable.  Sadly your experiences are likely not unique.  There is a serious lack of communication within any hospital and more than one Dr in the mix.
    Moments like those just get you fired up for more opportunities to calibrate 'em. 
    Stay strong.

    Thanks for the positive update. And you are right-the pace is never what we want but the positive slope is the main thing. The team has got this.

    So we are coming up on 1 year since my wife of almost 38 years needed open heart surgery to repair a failing aortic valve. Today we took delivery of a Peloton Tread to allow her to exercise indoors instead of outside in the heat/cold/pollen - all of which exacerbates her severe asthma.

    She is starting out walking 30 minutes each day at a slow pace. If you have a Peloton or use the app, she could use followers to help keep her motivated. Her user name is Happy_Nana_of_4.

    Thanks.


    The tread deck is pretty cool, much different than any other tread, solid

    That is one thing that sets this treadmill apart (besides the price), instead of a continuous rubber belt, the deck is made up of individual aluminum slats coated with rubber. They are then linked together - similar to an escalator. Makes it very forgiving on the joints.
