    One Step More

    I had a follow-up today with the heart surgeon---and in his words---"you have graduated"

    I am off warfirin and will start Pravix tomorrow for 6 months and then I'm good to go with just a baby aspirin.

    To celebrate my graduation I stopped at the store on the way home and got a BIG bag of spinach and an even bigger bag of collard greens. I put a pot of my "green soup" on as soon as I got home

    Having to manage the warfirin, which forced me to drop greens from my diet was truly a quality of life issue. I knew it would end and so I managed to practice restraint---but I am glad it is over.

    As for my stepper---I will do 1600 today--besting my previous high of 1500

    Added in edit----make that 2000!

    Very good news, Dave. I saw my cardiologist last week and he found me good to go for another six months until the next appointment.

    Good for you

    I see my regular cardiologist tomorrow afternoon and expect to be back on 6 month intervals.

    Me I'm walking with no pain and very little swelling at the end of the day and I have regained full mobility of my ankle
