A proud graduation moment for me as I finished 36 sessions of cardiac rehabilitation at The Christ Hospital. When I was being discharged from the hospital in late January after my open heart surgery, I was told that I would be assigned these 36 cardiac rehab sessions. I remember telling my nurse: “I probably don’t need that.” But I did need that.

I DON'T WANT TO BE NORMAL
I have noticed that when my doctor orders lab work for me, I am often in the normal range, which could mean a couple of things. Am in the very top of that scale, meaning my levels are close to being too high? Am in the very low part of that scale, meaning I am nearing a state of deficiency?

Since my emergency heart surgery, I have felt an increasing dissatisfaction of being in the normal range. I no longer want my cholesterol level to be at the high end of normal. In certain testing, I believe there may be a danger with being normal. I want optimal.

I am happy to report that at Bridge Street Health, my doctor (who happens to be my husband), is also not satisfied with normal. He wants my lab work to be optimal. Though I may indeed be his favorite patient, he wants that for all of his patients. Come and see us if you want to be a bit better than normal.

Author and speaker Rebecca Hendrixson reflects on her life altering open heart surgery experience in a series of weekly blogs entitled Wellness Wednesdays.
