farmdoc's blog: CABG surgery plus 11 days
http://farmdocsblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/cabg-surgery-plus-11-days.html
Friday, May 20, 2011. CABG surgery plus 11 days. Only 150 metres from our Melbourne home, but my first outing since hospital. It felt so good to sit there and drink coffee like a person who’s normal, i.e. not one who’s 11 days after CABG surgery. Otherwise my daily exercise and walking programmes continued. Late arvo darling Meg left us to travel home to Daylesford by train. Her 1. Day visit was a gem. As she is. A very special day and a half indeed. I am happy to be back home but I miss you. xx. OH my d...

farmdoc's blog: CABG surgery plus 10 days
http://farmdocsblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/cabg-surgery-plus-10-days.html
Thursday, May 19, 2011. CABG surgery plus 10 days. Late yesterday afternoon I had a run of irregular heart rhythm due to AF – the first since my hospital discharge. I felt it in my chest. It was nowhere as severe or long as previous runs. And it responded in 10-15 minutes to a Sotalol tablet [ 1. I wondered if a walk around the Melbourne Central shopping centre [ 2. And then an episode from the third series of In Treatment. I can’t imagine a more enjoyable rehabilitation programme than this one. I am 64 ...

farmdoc's blog: Instagramming right along.
http://farmdocsblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/instagramming-right-along.html
Friday, December 23, 2011. My holiday from blogging continues. I'm having trouble getting back to it. I don't know when, or even if, I'll make a comeback. Time will tell. In the meantime, I'm starting out with Instagram. Which, according to its blurb [ 1. Is a 'fast, beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends through a series of pictures'. I'll be posting at least one photo each day. (I loaded my first two earlier this morning.). To find my photos. Or on your computer, click here. Anemometer o...

farmdoc's blog: CABG surgery plus four months
http://farmdocsblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/cabg-surgery-plus-five-months.html
Friday, September 9, 2011. CABG surgery plus four months. CABG surgery plus four months. It’s 16 weeks since 20.5.11 when I published the post before this one. In that time the blogosphere hasn’t been a major focus for me. I don’t know why. I seem to be tuned in to other matters. But today being the 4-month milestone since my CABG surgery, I feel the need to record some thoughts at this time. So here goes:. My main aim for the next few months is to continue with my postoperative rehabilitation. I don...

farmdoc's blog: Farmdoc’s first million
http://farmdocsblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/farmdocs-first-million.html
Thursday, October 13, 2011. Farmdoc’s first million. If you must know. It uses accelerometer technology, so I wear it on a lanyard around my neck. (The instructions say it’d count my steps even if it was in my backpack; but I haven’t tried that.) Anyway having this whiz bang device, it was only natural I’d join the 10,000 Steps. Program, with data logging on the 10000steps.org.au website [ 2. The aim, of course, is to log 10,000 steps (or more) per day. The 10,000 Steps. Love and kisses xx. Great walking...

Land of Meg: November 2011
http://landofmeg.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, 26 November 2011. Recently, when my parents came to town for a visit, I heard David Holmgren. Talk to my mother. About love miles: the distance family members travel to see one another. With peaking oil, he said, and the rise in cost of fuel, it will get harder and harder for family members to just jump on a plane for a visit. To help reduce their love miles, my folks are selling their house and are moving to this neck of the woods to be near my sister Kate. And I and our families. There is a s...
