Ahhhh...Pizza
So last night as planned, RobbeMax, Will, and I went out to a great pizza place, one we've never been to in the Cities - the Italian Pie Shoppe - to celebrate the permanent removal of those hated TEDs and the end of my strict low sodium diet. (How's that for a run-on sentence?)
The ambience in the restaurant is great. Pictures and articles from the 1930's. But wow. That pizza was to DIE for! It was so good, I heard every taste bud on my tongue singing. We got the deep dish and had pepperoni, sausage, and onions for toppings. And the cheese was so melty and stringy and the crust was so thick it was still a little doughy. YUM! (Now don't YOU want some pizza?)
It was so filling I was only able to eat two pieces, but they were the most delicious pieces. Then we went to Target to pick up my allergy prescription. (BTW, I've met my deductible for the year so from now through December, I don't have to pay for any prescriptions! I'm sure all the drugs and meds I got after my surgery had something to do with it.) While we were there we picked up some DVDs we didn't have - The Truman Show (which we think is Jim Carrey's best performance to date), School Ties with Brendan Frasier, and Top Secret (hehe!) with Val Kilmer.
I can't believe that I had open heart surgery 4 weeks ago today! I remember when it was 4 weeks away. I'm feeling better every day and am finally able to yawn without it hurting so much. I've been walking this week. My route is a mile and a half or so. I have to stop and rest at least once, but I'm doing okay with that.
Hey - another milestone happens today! I can drive again! Woo-hoo! I had to wait 4 weeks! Everybody in the Twin Cities had better stay off the sidewalks...
I have a follow-up appointment with my wonderful surgeon, Dr. Dearani, on Wednesday. I hope he's impressed with my recovery...
Speaking of my surgeon, today he is operating on my friend, Cynthia. If you remember, please send good thoughts and prayers out for her. She came all the way from L.A. for this surgery.
Only 4 days until I start cardiac rehab...
