@joeymopete I am glad that @mbi and @baystater101 had helpful tips related to cardio rehab and exercise. I was fortunate that my former employer's retirement insurance (nonprofit Medicare Advantage Plan) paid 100%, but around here it was a 6+ week wait for an opening. The gym I go to is owned by 2 former employees of one of the cardio rehab places. They were very helpful with starting me off (no heart monitors, though) until I went to cardio rehab for a very short time, it was unnecessary by then. The Y in my small city has all kinds of classes for specific ailments (Parkinsons, breast surgery recovery for example). May I suggest checking to see if there is another way to obtain supervised guidance? By the way, how will the genetic lab people know to retest your DNA? I was told to contact them in 5 years after 2022.

I’m no expert but I am an amateur genealogist and I speak on DNA topics. Our DNA never changes so if they keep a record of it there would be no need to retest it. My assigned Geneticist said they would keep it on record and it would be used for research, this was at Mayo. I will see if I can reach her to clarify whether contact will be made, if our gene is identified.
