For my pulmonary testing today, I had to do steps...up and down and up and down...for about 10 min...with a pulse oximeter on my finger.  I was glad I had been doing a lot of walking this week...from building to building at Mayo.  Towards the end, my calves were getting tired, but I persisted and passed everything okay.  I have learned to put myself into a semi-trance.  I separate the mind from the body...my body becomes the machine...while my mind is blank.  I first learned to do this when I was having a lot of root canals, pulled teeth, etc.  I got even better at it during subsequent surgeries, many procedures, and much poking and prodding. 

Hugs,

Connie

some good deeds DO go unpunished. (not stirring there I just thought it quite apt!!)

I think from all the good deeds youve done - you deserve some NON-punishment for a change (UNLESS of course you class your sit-ups a little hard labour - (wicked grin here))

turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
God heard everyone's prayer... this ole lady is a "ROCK" a "HORSE" "STRONG" as an "OX" per the physical therapist... boy did we fool her with all those prayers... and it helped that I whipped the two sit ups right off the bat... then actually ... actually touched my toes... guy Im working with said he doesnt even get near... smile... so stretching... and doing sit ups and touching toes for a week helped... the other ones... are lifting legs etc... she said surprising how many people... young kids cant do... anyways... the lifting part was a breeze for me.. my new job will pay for fitness center... so smile... Ill be able to continue... and being this physical already has resulted in my losing weight... thank you everyone for your prayers... I was worried... and I do know if I hadnt had prayers or did that exercising... wouldnt have been as good of a report... thanks for all the support this was a big one for me... thank you so much... I needed the emotional support... Sandia... Mr...E... ur Jedi thing worked...

will need continued prayer... I got the trainer from hell... 64 year old woman about to retire... who is bitter... and I have high tone hearing loss... and so standing by the 800 ton press... shes trying to give me critical info... well... I couldnt hear most of what she said... she was short snappy... and crabby all week... and additionally she doesnt know how to do many of the blueprint reading and measuring that we have to do... very poor trainer...I was compliant... smiley... almost... almost in tears... then went to the boss....and laid it out as objectively as possible... then at the end of the week the training department who are her boss... asked me... and evaluated her... and the result was I will have a different trainer next week...so... prayers for this next month plz... or karma... Jedi... whatever.. I think itll happen but its been a mentally tough week.. dealing with her... the machines well me and those babies... have a kinetic... Jedi experience... it should be illegal to love machines as much as I love these... it really helped that I had worked there before and three of the other employees who I have worked with know my ability to learn and perform... and it does help that I can make the machines hum... its the paperwork... and some of the measuring Im struggling with... God will provide the way.. Sandia.. thanks all

Sandia, From what you've already been through, nothing can stop you now....The job is nothing more than a stepping stone into your new future. Anybody that can support, love, endure, manage,cope, and handle all the emotions of dealing with someone with liver disease can certainly handle this job. It is nothing compared to the job you have already done! Hold you head up, put your confidence hat on, and go for it! You can do anything now!!!!
xxooxxoo Go get um tiger!!!! :)
