Candy’s Heart Journey

Because of my blog, I have been lucky enough to connect and make friends with lots of valve surgery patients, many of whom are preparing for their valve surgery. Meet Candy, also a teacher, rock climber, cyclist, workout nut… also needed valve surgery. She wanted to stay in shape before her surgery, and documented one of her workouts, less than a week prior to open heart surgery. I’m sure there will be recovery workout videos once you get moving again. For now, like most people recovering from heart surgery, Candy is walking and gently riding the stationary bike. Thanks for the inspiration Candy!
