Last I blogged a couple of years ago about my heart attack and bypass surgery. Lots of other crappy things happened that year. Now life has finally moved forward in a good way. I'm working out and doing lots of walking to stay in decent shape and making the ticker work as best as it can.
Playing a new phone game called Ingress that takes me out walking to capture portals and all of the other fun stuff associated with it. Got up to level 7 then requested a team change from Resistance to Enlightened. Basically my original blue team wasn't helping each other and the green team was recruiting me. Already almost back to level 7 again and have walked 120 kilometers so far.
It's hard for me to believe that I've been a massage therapist for 4 years already. The company that I work for put me in for "Therapist of the Year" for the state of Maryland. I had no idea that they did this but was pleasantly surprised to hear my name called for the award! I know I've been doing well at it and have lots of repeat clients but that was something I thought might be available further down the road.
The coolest part of getting that award was being at Six Flags and getting to ride roller coasters again! That was something that I thought might never happen due to meds that I have to take. Happily I was a coaster freak for the day! My cardiologist must think I'm nuts because of the question I asked at the last visit. "Can I go parachuting"? He just looks at me and says "yeah"!
Still love being part of this site and really enjoy seeing all of the new faces that are Hopefuls and SGs. Some day I still hope to meet one or a bunch of you in person...thinking some sort of con in my area but I seem to be super busy and just haven't made it there yet. Even bigger on my bucket list would be to give a massage to a SG!
Thanks to all of you wonderful people that make this site cool!
