Back on the bike

24 mi on Saturday.  Pacemaker worked and no problems there.  Only problem were with the legs as they had not been on a bike for 8 weeks.  Sore but recovering.  I knew it would be slow getting back to the 40-50 mi rides but I've started.  Maybe by Dec I will be back to as normal as I can be

Nothing new but been awhile

Hockey, working, not riding - but everything is progressing OK with pace-maker, theater, symphony. Lots of rain and warming up slowly.  Have not turned on the AC yet.  Americans are 3/2 (winning) in their series and the STARS are 2/3 (losing) in theirs but at least are in the playoffs as opposed to the DeadWings!!! Still watching Maury and Jerry for entertainment?  More maybe next week?

Bionic Man

Being turned into a bionic man starting with a pacemaker last TU.  Everything went well and now taking it easy - no bike riding and somewhat reduced activity.  No lifting more than 10#, left arm over the head. Etc.  Appoint with MD in 3 weeks and then maybe back to bike riding.   Boring!!!
Not missing the hockey games or DSO as not much exercise there.

Interesting week

Lots of theater.  The WaterTower Theater has a " Out Of The Loop Festival" each year.  Consists of 10 days of original stuff.  Most about 1 hr long.  So on SA or SU one might see 3 plays.  Week nights juts one.  However there are 3 performance spaces so 3 shows a night at the theater.  Some worth remembering, some ready for the dirt pile, and others worth seeing again.  All interesting as someone has to think of the show.  Most interesting thing that happened is that last WE I had an episode of syncope and "fainted" at work.  Work up in the VA ER and spent until 7pm in a room on a cardiac monitor.  When the MDs got to the Pharmacy my heart rate was 40.  At 7 pm I check out AMA and made the MDs not happy.  Went home and then on TH showed up at my cardiologists office in-announced at 8:30am and he saw me at 9:30.  Found no emergent problems and am going back this TH for a 24 hr Holter Monitor.  Rode my bike both SA and SU with no problems.  Well I guess that will do for now.

New week/Same stuff

Did get in 35mi on SA and 32 on SU on the bike.  Been in the hi 70's down here and no rain last week.  Little rain over night and more forecast for TU and WE.  Been dry down here.  Work is the same.  Hockey is so so with the STARS losing more than winning recently.  Allen Americans on a losing streak on the road.  No theater this week.  Boring week and back to work.

Painful

Weather on the weekend was in the 70's so no reason not to ride.  So 27 on SA and 30 on SU and then suffer SU pm and MO am.  More   hockey on FR and SU and theater on SA.  Saw "I Love You You're Perfect Now Change" for the umpteenth time.  Saw it 4 times in one year.  Needless to say I enjoy the play.  Like to listen to the audience react to the jokes.  The theater brings it back each year and I think this was the 14th year.  It was in the larger theater earlier.  That is about it for now.
