Headline: Our cartoonist conquers cardiac conditioning
When my youngest graduated from kindergarten at age 6 he got a diploma and cookies. When I graduated from Cardiac Rehab at 67 I got a certificate and no cookies. I got a “good job” from my friend Elliot who asked me, “Did Ellen put your diploma on the fridge?”“Rehab. You heard me. Rehab.”“Sort of. Cardiac rehab. Want to see me flex my aorta?”
I hid the scar from my stent procedure on my wrist. It was the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We watch TV while working out. I learned how to flip a house and from “Crikey, it’s the Irwins” I learned how to flip a ‘gator. And our blood pressure improved and we got stronger. First sunrise without rehab the roosters crowed, the cats purred, my wife stirred and I was sticking with it, weighing myself, testing my blood sugar, recording my blood pressure. Habit one: Beat yesterday’s numbers.
