    Laughter

    Posted on: Wednesday, March 28th, 2007 in: Mental Challenges and Heart Problems

    When someone you love is sick it is hard to laugh. Congestive Heart Failure is not funny.
    We did not laugh for a very long time it seemed and we both missed it very much. It is hard to find anything funny, but when you can it is a wonderful […]

    Rowing Machine

    Posted on: Friday, March 23rd, 2007 in: Exercise Equipment to Use

    I want to tell you about a rowing machine I have used. I love this machine. It is called “Concept 2 - PM4“. One of my supervisors bought one for the facility where I work and I have got to tell you that I have more fun exercising on this machine than […]

    Exercise

    Posted on: Tuesday, March 20th, 2007 in: Toward better health.

    Exercise: What does that mean?
    My dictionary has several definitions. Some of my favorites are “the act of bringing into play or realizing in action”, “to make effective in action”, “bodily exertion for the sake of developing and maintaining physical fitness”. The common words for me are “action”. Sometimes that word alone can […]

    Sporting Goods

    Bargains like the ones at the store above were what we needed to get started and exercise like I was ready to do. Little did I know that exercise does wonders for mental stress as well as physical healing.
    I found this online exercise equipment store and these folks have lots to offer. Some items […]

    Which comes first? The illness or the Anxiety?

    Posted on: Saturday, March 10th, 2007 in: Mental Challenges and Heart Problems

    I have read with much interest the articles about PTSD and the links to Heart problems. One of the symptoms of PTSD is Anxiety Attacks. That gripping fear that can paralize one to the point of being paralized. I have a very close friend that suffers from Anxiety Attacks.
    I found a place that has some […]

    Exercise-chained to a machine//or a path to freedom?

    Posted on: Wednesday, March 7th, 2007 in: Toward better health.

    I have always been an active person, it seems I was until the doctor told me I have to get active and exercise. Then I began to realize that I was only hurting myself when I did not do the routine. The tough part now is to find time.
    If it were told to me that […]

    Getting things in order.

    Posted on: Sunday, March 4th, 2007 in: Mental Challenges and Heart Problems

    Probably the thing that bothered me most was not being as prepared as I thought I should be. There are several aspects of life that I paid close attention to, not all of them prioritised correctly, but I paid attention to them anyway. I knew everyone faces the end of life, I just hadn’t thought […]

    Friends-Resources-Not alone after all!

    Posted on: Sunday, March 4th, 2007 in: Toward better health.

    One of the feelings that was absolutely overwhelming at first was the feeling of being alone against the illness. I had seen the many ads for the organizations that were dedicated to one illness or the other, I have even donated in the past to a few of them. I really didn’t know how […]
