So sorry to hear that Al, do focus on your health!
So the instructions from the Docs will look something like this:
less red meat and cut down on the fat (translation: eat more fish and poultry, be sure to marinate in your favorite calorie/fat reduced sauce)
alcohol in moderation (so that means only 1 or 2 glasses of scotch a day...)
exercise regularly (we generally ask for 5 d per week, start slow and increase gradually-so lifting the scotch glass is the first thing you have to do when you get home)
you will suddenly need to take medications (often a lipid lowering agent, a beta blocker, and ASA-be sure to take them on time. And not with the scotch...)
don't let me get started on the sex restrictions...
and yes, you will need to take it easy for a set period of time...maybe take up a hobby that's not strenuous, like watchmaking...
And best wishes/thoughts for recovery!!
