Carol K's Journey

Today was my inital assessment for the cardiac rehab program. I am doing it at Southwest Washington Hospital in Vancouver. Their program looks good--it's an hour of monitored exercise and an hour of classes on all different topics relating to the heart. There are about 8 people in each group, all at different stages of exercise. It meets 3 times a week for 36 sessions in all. Because of the Monday holiday, I will start on Wednesday, May 27. This program should give me a good, safe jumpstart in addition to my own program of walking and eventually biking.

I also attended another CASA wraparound meeting today. I noticed that I was much stronger and more alert than at the meeting last week. It's nice to see weekly progress!
