Back to the mundane…
I walked 0.99 miles at a pace of 24’26”. I’m not sure if it’s dialysis day but I was super tired walking. I think I walked the first 1/2 mile without any issues, but then my legs got weak and I started breathing hard. The weather was nice and warm so it shouldn’t have been an issue. I also wore the new diabetic socks that were delivered today. They were a bit loose but comfortable. I’m going to buy a few pairs of the next smaller size to see if the fit is better.
The vascular surgeon said that after surgery, I shouldn’t lift things with my left arm for two weeks, but the small wound in my abdomen should be fine. He didn’t say I need to avoid walking or driving so maybe the surgery won’t delay cardiac rehab.
