Well couldn't wait for monday's dr appt just finished my first 1.25 miler all vitals remain strong mmediately right after the walk Bp was 123 /72 15 seconds after the walk with a 75 pulse

So still ahead of schedule only 1.5 miler to go before evaluation by surgical team on 8/25/09 --should be n/p. Achieving that threshold by then qualifies me to go into Cardiac aerobic rehab AND ABILITY TO DRIVE AGAIN

I'm pretty stoked with the progress :D:D:D

Great job Warp! Are you keeping a log of your daily vital signs / weight / exercise?

Root maintaining a specialized log ( given to you upon release from the hospital) is required in order to brief the surgical team prior to 8/25 /09 evaluation and also to brief my primary care doc weekly . There is a "cookbook" given to patients that educates , sets up protocols for progress day by day until the 6 week evaluation . Covers a multitude of topics nutrition , exercise , pain mgt , potential setbacks/symptoms , its really a great resource .

My only setback so far was fraken GOUT not from rich food obviously but from rapid weight loss, normal surgical trauma coupled with taking several diuretics(piss pills :D:D) over the years for BP mgmt . It was /is worse than heart pain i endured AND i didn't even have the fun of eating lots of rich food and drink ---:D:D go figure

If you like dried cherries, they have know properties to reduce gout symptoms.
6 dried cherries a day help keep the feet healthy and keeps your blood healthy.

I'm close to the Cherry capital of the world, if you pm me your address, I'll send you a package and see how it helps.

Something(s) I learned while packaging the cherries to ship.

  • When the relative humidity is 70% ish and you take some dried cherries out of the freezer, the package is pretty hard to dry out to put in a box.
  • When being creative with a heal well wish, Don't use a golf ball.....Its damn hard to write on a golf ball!!!
