We gotta take the good news when we can and take out lumps when we can't. Today was one of those good and bad kind of days.
The good: physical therapy is going great! I can now bend my knee to 96 degrees so they are letting me get on the bike tomorrow! This is one thing I have been working toward since I know, realistically, it will be 6 months until I can run again! The bike is a win for me! Then at my doctor visit for my heart, I found out that I reached my first weight loss goal! Score another point for me! I have lost 2 pant sizes! Go me!
And now the bad: I have no pants that fit and shopping is impossible with the brace on! During my doctor visit she ordered a 2D echo of my heart and is sending me to see a cardiologist to get some answers about this SVT and preventing it. Finally, they told me my blood pressure is low at 104/80! I thought it was good but she said no! Sigh......
I am guessing the blood pressure is a result of losing weight, getting in shape and eating right. But what do I know?
Hope you all have a blessed week and we will talk again soon!

Do not worry about that blood pressure. It is good--it is better than good. If you don't wobble when you stand up. My BP runs about 110/67. Perhaps your doctor is concerned that the diastolic (low number) is that close to the systolic. Keep working gal--you are doing well!
Well, it sounds like things are coming along! Can't you take the brace off to try clothes on? That would be frustrating.
