Worst blogger ever these past few months. Josh is 8 months out from his bypass and is doing amazing. He has dropped so much weight (exercise + dietary changes). His energy is through the roof. I think that the lack of energy and weight gain were the two huge warning signs that we ignored. Looking back, his GP Dr. shouldn't have ignored them either. After surgery he was experiencing pain that felt like a rib rubbing on his lung. He got an OK (and a "welllllll I wouldn't go to one but...") and saw a chiropractor. It turns out that he had a couple of ribs that were out of place and the chiropractor promptly popped them back. I will be the first to say that I've never been to one or needed one or really believed in them, but in Josh's case it was just what he needed. While he will still get healing pains, his back discomfort seriously got better after that visit.
Here he is with Matilda. Seriously, how great is this?
I can't stress enough how blessed we are. How blessed that Josh took the initiative to get himself to the hospital instead of ignoring serious symptoms. Had he not, Matilda and I probably would have found him.
Please stay tuned. I will be here more and will be sharing more things from country life.
