Maybe it's actually a time machine or he goes so fast that time slows for the rest of us.

You didn't stay Kenny for very long!

Update: day 2 home after partner's angioplasty

Just took the pressure bandages off the wound site in her groin - went better than I had expected - (memo - always have baby oil in the house) - no bleeding - site looks much better than I had expected.

The docs/hospital shouldn't make ordinary folk do these things! My heart was in my throat - didn't know what to expect - but had to stay calm for her. Now I need a drink! She's sleeping again. I'm constantly sneaking in to take a quick look for any leaks! Cats locked out of bedroom.

Nah - just a chicken on the verge of a mental breakdown!

All goes well here - contemplating a celebratory pizza dinner!

Good job poohbear! Next thing you know you'll be working with an ambulance team...

vivaldirules · 07-24-2010, 04:46 PM

Yes. Brave chicken. Now come over here a little closer and let me give you a hug (and a little nibble).

Might leave an unexpected taste in your mouth...

Roosters are quick performers...

What kind of rhythm?

I only made it an hour and 45 min. I'm training to do an "elliptical marathon" - about 4-1/2 or 5 hours at a brisk rate that keeps my heart rate at 160. I'm doing an hour on weekdays and longer on weekends. The goal keeps me motivated whereas I usually struggle to make time for exercise. I figure by the time I reach my goal I'll be so thin and trim that I'll have to run around in the shower to get wet! (doggie dances in anticipation) Then I can switch to a 30 min. daily maintenance mode. That's the plan, anyway. Wish me luck!

Good Luck. You are motivating me....I've been doing my walks pretty regularly, but I need to get another exercise bike or ?? and get way more serious....

Good on ya, Kenny. Do it! And let me just say that I absolutely love my elliptical trainer. Silent, reliable, no maintenance, no butt pain (from a cycle seat), no joint pains, and I can burn like mad on that thing. But if you're interested, you have to try them out to make sure the stride and stance and such are comfortable. You'd have to be bow legged to use some of them.

Which one do you have? I have been considering getting one... considering the knee pain I got from walking I was told they are much lower impact.

You're doing a good job. Keep up the good work!

One of the pool hoses busted today and water is all over the yard. I think it melted from the heat. They were made to hold water, not steam! I took the old one off a couple of hours ago and decided to wait until now to brave to heat to put the replacement on.

Bye, now! If you don't hear from me within the next 24 hours, assume I died from heat stroke.
