Another quiet one

Another nice quiet pottery day today. By pottery I mean I have pottered about, not that I have made anything out of clay.

I am mindful of not making this blog into a string of posts that say, did nothing today, no exercise to speak of, moving right along. If that is the way the blog starts to go, then I will be giving some serious thought as to what direction I take it in. In the immediate future I am hoping to be able to give some updates on how the heart is going as I learn more from the doctors. Perhaps talk about what my return to exercise looks like and how it goes. Perhaps spend more time talking about coaching if that is the direction I go in.

However, for today, that I don't have much of that to talk about. Today there was not much exercise to talk of, moving right along. Not quite, but close.

I say not much exercise, because like Saturday I went out for another walk today. As with Saturday it was very pleasant. If anything the heart also felt a bit better, well I noticed less ectopic beats at least. I am being careful not to give to much credit to how I am feeling at the moment though. Dr Stobie is always the first to say that the mind is an powerful thing and the placebo effect can give some misleading results. I will be waiting to see how follow up testing goes before I make any claims about improvements. All the same, it did feel better.

More of the same tomorrow, with another walk in the plan. As well as walking, the plan is to also catch up with Dr Gary Couanis for a coffee to discuss what has been happening in the last couple of weeks. Although not a proper appointment, it will be good to discuss things with a medical professional who has some idea of what is going on. Gary has a gift for explaining things, so I am hoping I might be able to pick his brain a bit. I have had quite as steep learning curve about the heart over the last couple of weeks, hopefully that continues a bit more tomorrow. The more I can learn about what is going on, the better I will be able to manage it.

If things go well with my walk tomorrow, I am hoping I might be able to jump on the trainer on Wednesday morning for a light spin. Dr Stobie did say a light ride would be fine and so I am keen to give that a go.
