And there I was pedalling away on the recumbent bike watch a heart-related video and they started talking about DABDA (Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance) - you know, those 5 stages of grief that someone out there said we go through! Some psychologist was saying that you needed to talk to your family about your heart disease and take a walk in the park, hand-in-hand with your spouse, and discuss your feelings! 
SH*T! I felt like throwing something through the TV!! I did not want to hear that stuff. 
I'll run right home and take my dog for a walk and tell her my feelings! Hummmmmm! That might work! Hey Lee do you cook or do windows! Glad it was at then end of my session!! The rehab program is 12 weeks and you can take 18 weeks to complete it. Hey, I can take a vacation! Wait, I am on vacation, sort of! I need to get outta here for a while!!! ARGGHHHH!
Not much today - pool league starts back up tonight!
I quit!
Have a fun day!!!!!!

Not what you need to relax is it? But you can talk to her about it and to all of us! Maybe you should just listen to your ipod next time. Hugs!!!

Your dog, Lee, will always listen and be your friend no matter what. Hope all is well with you. HUGS

The 5 stages of grief???? Yea right--- more like 50 stages- one step forward ,two steps back! DABDA??? More like DBAADABADBAA- when does it end ? Somewhere I read somewhere(Where does these people who write these things come from?)you don't "get over it" you learn to "live with it"!!!!!! Now that is real encouraging, huh? Sounds like I gotta get out of here, trouble is- ITS COLD OUT!! LOL Have a good day Joe.

Sat there talking away to MY dog as I was sick in bed.. I know we can talk to friends, relatives, everyone here, BUT it is just not the same. I just want that person whom knew me so well, like puzzle pieces that just fit.... Glad you DIDN'T throw something thru the t.v. THEY are probably BIG t.v.s there that cost a LOT... Hope you have a BETTER night at pool. Hugs, alice

not so sure those sessions will be what you need Joe. sounds like you have already been thru most of them and don't need to be reminded again over and over. its never easy .. I know that. yes zippy is right. you will never get over it but in time you will learn to move on when your time is right for you. my love

You just DID talk to some one about it! Now how about telling more? A heart attack starts that process all over again...the process we went through when our spouses died. So Joe, you're angry because you have to go through it again! Yes, being alone sucks! Having a heart attack is even worse...I bet you're in better shape than all of us put together right now! That's great!!

Thanks everyone. I'm past being 'peeved' and dealing with it. Don't have to like it; just have to accept it for what it is! Joe

Some things that are said sure can get right to the core of our feelings. Cry if you have to sometimes it helps then Joe talk to your friends as you do we are here

I am always here Joe. Tell me all about it!....I'll even walk in the park with you and let you hold my hand.......Hang in there !!~~

I've accepted it all; just everyonce in a while something like that just 'ticks me off.'

We don't go though the stages in any certain order and they can attack us at any time. Anger is healthy. Like I tell my patients it's what you do with it the counts. Should I pencil you in for an afternoon appointment? Just kidding. Hugs. Love that new self portrait.

I tell Zak my feelings often and he never tells me that they are wrong! Hope you will consider joining us for our get together. Love and hugs Joe.
