So, we hit the workout room today. We had the whole room to ourselves. Ten minutes was the limit.
I can't help but feel that the last three weeks have been wasted. We don't know if we are doing anything right. How long should he workout, at what O2 level, how high should his heart rate go , how low can his O2 levels go, what should his O2 saturation level be???????? We are anxious to do something, anything that will feel like we are going forward. "Hurry up and wait" ... we are getting very good at that.
You will get even better at waiting! It is really hard, but you will have an entire transplant community to wait with. We are a special group, I promise.
ReplyDeleteThe physiotherapists will answer all these questions (and more), and give you a card with all your exercises. You can ask for another card to bring home. It will seem overwhelming at first, but there is a lot of support in that treadmill room!
