My Up Hill Battle With a Down Hill Payoff

Two weeks from today.  That’s all I have left.  For 30 days now I have been in an up hill battle to get in shape for the opportunity to take my son skiing.  The battle really began on February 3 when I had heart surgery – an ablation – to fix an electrical impulse in my heart that sends it to 220 whenever it feels like it.  It was my second ablation and one of a dozen heart surgeries (I have a pacemaker).  Without it no skiing.

The ablation was actually the easy part when I compare it to the daily grind of pushing myself after a year of no exercise.  I really don’t like exercising especially when I am under pressure.  It’s just scary when your heart is so unpredictable.

But I love my son and he asked me to take him.  So two weeks is all I have.
