    Article about yoga and heart health

    I'm trying to dedicate myself to a more consistent routine, and I've adapted the stretching and deep breathing into my routine. The stretching helps quite a bit. I wish I had someone to teach me.. Good luck to you Halley.

    6 Months post op

    I've been doing push ups on my fist, sets of 25, and it feels great. If only work would slow down, so I could get to the gym.. Really my focus is on my core, as I guess I'm still a bit scared to go all out unless someone is there to baby sit me.. Just being honest.

    Collateral damage?

    After my first OHS my shoulder hurt like hell, for a long time, and didn't completely go away for about 4-6 months. My second, I did the therapy, and did more stretching.

    Dry mouth?

    I'm only using asprin, vitamin, and Temazepam (resterol, for sleep) I haul cars, so I sweat a lot, because I'm active, up and down the truck all day.. I think I am drinking enough, but might have to increase that. I seem to sweat at the least bit of effort. I'm thinking that it is the activity...

    Dry mouth?

    Might not mean anything, but since I have returned to work, my mouth had been dry, and I "think" I drink enough to replace all that I sweat. I have a physically active job. I can suck on a candy to give a temp fix.. Am I dehydrated, or maybe a sign of something else going on? It's not major...
