I have to make myself walk slower...I feel up to walking quickly, but I know my recovery is supposed to be gradual...so I will work up to a quicker pace. I'm not shuffling along...my Mom is thankful because I am now walking at her pace...but I have had open heart surgery! Pre-surgery I had to slow my pace a bit when walking with her...I am just a naturally fast walker. I think she will be sad when my pace increases again!
We took the kids to the Legislature grounds yesterday. They have beautiful pool and fountains to play in. I love taking the kids there in the summer. It is so much fun! And it's not stressful...a great place to go while in recovery! We went on a Saturday, so there were lots of weddings to check out (a lot of people go there for photos). My sister is getting married next spring, so we were looking at dresses and hairdos. Sara is going to be a flower girl, so she had fun looking at all the little flower girl dresses. The day went very well. I wasn't tired at all. My Mom is now saying that I have made the transition from recovering patient to tourist....I want to plan all these fun things to do. Back to my old self, I guess..I like to get out, see and do things. Don't worry, I won't push myself too hard...
