Went to my first rehab visit at the Heart Institute yesterday, deliberately lowered my carb count knowing my sugar would be, it was 17 but figured my nerves had a lot to do with it too but it came down to 8 after class, boy am I sore today, it can only get better shakehead rolleyes smilewinkgrin

I'm sure nerves can cause a LOT of unwanted reactions in the body! smhair

What did they have you do? I'm glad you seem to be recovering ok in any case and I hope you continue.

yeah

Ahh, the stretchy bands!  Good luck with your exercises.  I suppose you have to do some daily walking now?  Take it easy and don't shovel snow!
