3rd week of October, 2nd week of rehab

So little is going on, I can only come up with lame post titles.

Monday 15th -- After Friday's increase in symptoms at rehab, more attention was put on me today. And sure enough, a few minutes into the bike I had "symptoms": chest discomfort (not really pain), throat pain on left side, and a headache. I did get 25 mins on the treadmill, 20 mins on the bike (with lots of slowing and stopping), and 10 mins on the hand cycle. The rest of the day, I had chest discomfort.

Tuesday -- purposefully took an easy morning and noted no symptoms. Good, like starting from a zero baseline. Then I walked into work from FoPa, took the steps up to Children's and since then (hours ago) I'm having chest pain. Just pain in the chest, behind the sternum, comes and goes, sometimes pretty notable. But not at all like the initial attacks. My bottle of nitroglycerin is sitting next to me, what to do?! Take it and see what happens? This borders on scary.

I left off here. Now it's Oct 31st and I'm retro-writing. I'll pick up in next post.

But I can summarize the rest of the above week -- more symptoms Friday in rehab, and received a call that afternoon that rehab is suspended for at least two weeks.
