WARP -- had heart attack /open heart surgery

[Warp Daddy]

3 miles? Seems to me just a few weeks back you were only walking a few blocks.

Fanstastic recovery
indeed!

Thanks Root !

Yeah i'm getting some pretty wierd looks at the cardiac rehab workouts .Many guys there don't believe that I'm 66 yo bcuz i'm able to do a fairly intense workout and of course my legs and weight is pretty toned for my age . Many assumed i was MUCH younger---- One guy my age looked 10 yrs older and was shocked to learn i was his age.

The Staff wanted me to come to the program even tho i was in good shape bcuz they felt that my attitude might be good as far as helping others deal with some of the depression that often accompanies heart attack survivors


Skiing , and biking and walking has kept me in pretty fair shape for an old dude

Are you sure you're going to be Ozzy and Sharon for Halloween?
Seems to me more like you're a good candidate to be Moses and Zipporah.

HEH...H'ya...nothing is MORE inspiring for a heart attack survivor than seeing a peer looking 10 years younger and running his arse off on the treadmill next door.

I think that would push them into a deeper depression! :>

Tell them you don't need that little blue pill for that 4-hr erection while you're at it! :>

As for your current state of affairs...CONGRATS!!!

If you can do a full flight of steps and not get winded, yer good to go in the sack. Maybe not tantric, but whose got time for that these days. good to hear about the progress, Warp.

Warp, have you seen the movie, "something's gotta give" ?
I love the scene where Jack Nicholson makes it up the flight of stairs on the beach.

That and I get the feeling that Warp is in MUCH better shape than Jack!

You are an inspiration, Warp! Keep it up!!!!

Hey Warp, just a serious fyi on the magic "blue pill". That little sucker can be fatal to a person with cardiac issues. I work(medically) with issues of erectile dysfunction. That being said, there are many warnings against the use of Viagra, Levita, or Cialis with cardiac patients. You would think most doctors know this, but sometimes they forget to check. I'm sure you don't need such help, but if down the road a doctor suggests something like that to you, tell them to recheck your chart because you are not a candidate. Just looking out for my fellow AZers. :smile:

Yup... as you probably know, Viagra is a vasodilator. Originally intended for treating hypertension. Of course most people with serious heart conditions have nitroglycerin tabs or sometimes Coumadin or other blood thinners, your BP can fall right off the scale when taken with Viagra.

TREK : U guys gittin snow in da Mitten 2 nite ??

Low of 23* tonight so it will be cold enough to snow but there is no precipitation predicted.
It has, however, rained the last two days.
