His rendition of I'm an Ape Man is quite..errr..different?

It was a beautiful day today so we thought it would be perfect for a walk, seems like the whole neighborhood thought the same so we didn't get very far as everyone wanted to stop and ask how he was doing (the joys of a small community)

Change of plans. I found him somewhere great to walk...I took him to Home Depot
So he walked, pushed the cart and spent time drooling over tools. Win win situation, it helped with moving around and kept him amused

When we got home he took a nap and is now feeling tired but not so antsy

Home Depots a good idea for a walk. If M gets tired you can put him in a trolly and push him.

Slight setback today

We went to Cardio Rehab but the EKG that was done before the evaluation was not good so we ended up in the cardiologists office. Looks like the other blockage needs to be done sooner than was planned. We are back home waiting to find out when, probably Thursday or Friday we have been told but not definite yet

Just concerned about putting his heart through so much pressure, but apparantly there is no alternative and we certainly don't want the worry of another Heart Attack.
Ready for this to be over
