Mom's Mini Stress Test

The other day, Mom had to go in to see her cardiologist for the first
time since the surgery, which was three weeks ago Thursday (hard to
believe!).

The doctor had her do a "mini" stress test where she spent three
minutes on the treadmill to check the condition of her heart, which he
indicated was looking good.

Of course, the test wore her out and the next day she had to
recuperate a bit.

But all in all, she says she's feeling well, and she'll be starting
her "heart rehab" regimen soon (where she goes in to a clinic and they
help her exercise to get her heart back into a better condition).

She indicated that she'd also stay on her heart medicine for a while
longer.

As for me, I'm getting ready to go to China and Japan later this week,
so I'll be keeping in touch via Skype and email while I'm away.
