Similar here, but much more compressed time frame.
Rehab continuing from double coronary stent procedure 3 weeks ago. 99% blockage in the big, important one; 95% in the other. Was just getting the lower body in shape when it all hit.
Not progressing at rate I'd like, but four two-man scrimmages tonight were bearable. Legs are in shape, but cardio will take a while to get where it's supposed to be.
Camps next three weekends, and I'd like not to have to explain that "I'm not there yet." But might have to.
As long as the doc says okay, set your goals, stick to what disciplined activities will get you there and don't give up. If another direction or avocation seems preferable due to serious health concerns, always remember that there are more important things in life than officiating. Just don't try telling me that.
