... and the beat goes on. La de da de de, la de da de da...
Thank goodness!
I'm on a beta-blocker for my heart. Hopefully that will strengthen it and all will be well at some point and I can cease and desist with heart meds, but it's entirely possible I'll be on the beta-blocker for life.
Meanwhile, my cardiologist thinks I should have an angiogram just to rule out any other possible causes of the heart damage besides chemo. Not a bad idea, but I'm putting that off for a short while until I regain some energy. My body has been through enough over the last 10 months; I need some time to rest and recover before I subject myself to more trauma, even if it's relatively minor.
And also meanwhile, my orders for limited exercise continue: no aerobic exercise, no heavy lifting, no shoveling, etc. But I can walk as much as I like and as much as my body can tolerate, as long as I don't walk too fast. I'm also getting back into yoga. Although it's frustrating to have limitations on what I can do physically, it's also OK. This is all small stuff after what I've been through.
And the beat goes on... and the beat goes on!
