Got back on the treadmill today. (Actual for-exercise home treadmill, not a job.) I started this a while ago, but the last 2 weeks my schedule has been a bit off.
I don’t do much, because I can’t. The shortness of breath persisted way past the rest of my recovery from the pulmonary embolism.
I walk about five minutes at 0.8 or 0.9 or 1 mph to The Hidden Almanac podcast. Not long!
Yet.
My resting pulse has dropped below 100.
My blood pressure is dropping.
The leveled treadmill with support rails on both sides lets my knees & hips walk in the most neutral position so that they can relearn good habits.
Yes, I’d like to be able to walk further. But this is what I can do now, so it’s what I’m doing now.
