I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born.  I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.  My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

This run was a bit on the hard side.  I can feel how tired I am.  It was really nice to get out and spend some time alone with Mama Mia :)  

My silly dad took and unauthorized field trip to his workshop this morning and landed himself in the ER.  No serious damage and I think the lesson is learned.  I think he is having a really hard time with the "no activity" thing.  He has never had to be waited on or been restricted physically ever and this is gonna be hard for the poor guy.   He's also not a drepressed person at all and this situation is causing a bit of depression and saddness that he is not used to and doesn't know what to do with it, in my opinion.

I am hoping for nothing exciting for the rest of the year ;)  Here's to hoping :)

20 push-ups, 90 situps

Oh man... your dad reminds me of my dad. He had never been in the hospital until he got sick. He was never one to get angry or depressed but it was a first for me to see when he was in the hospital. I'm glad that he didn't get in any serious damage, and I hope he takes it a bit slower now. Take care... I agree you have had your share of excitement for the year!

Your dad is experiencing all the normal post open-heart surgery emotions: depression is one of them. It's quite an adjustment from being active to taking it easy. Let him "actively" participate in cardiac rehab. I'm sure your family is a great support.

I think these first few weeks are going to be the worst as his activity restrictions are the greatest. As soon as he is able to get into the "work" part of his recovery, I think things will look up for him.

Thank you so much for your love and concern :) It means the world to me ;D
