While Joe is still experiencing reservations about his entire ordeal over the past 2 weeks, I am extremely pleased to share that his Cardio Rehab today went better than I think we both expected. 

Again, respecting his privacy, his biggest challenge right now is patience and tolerance. 

Patience to allow enough time for his heart to settle down and to become accustomed to the new meds so he doesn't feel "blah" everyday.

Tolerance to endure the extreme pain he is in with his hip, until such time Ortho gives some additional solutions since hip surgery has been put off for a year! We are both extremely concerned about managing the pain for that long of a time.

With that said, he as returned to writing, for the most part, but still finds himself tiring quickly. Naps are good, and he nods off here and there, but overall, is mending well, and still has a lot of life in him....

More to come...
