Al, glad you are alive and recovering. I had a surprise heart attack at age 39 and 4 by-pass at 45. Please take care of yourself! 馃憤

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!!

Good news! My grandmother had a major heart attack (A Widow-maker, no less!) when she was 42 years old. She then proceeded to live well into her 90's.

take care of yourself 馃榾

I can't give better advice than any of the good doctors here so I'll leave it at that...

I think that "67 REPLIES - 646 VIEWS" on a thread that's not even a day old says it all. We're very glad you're still with us 馃榿

I hope they get you out of the hospital quickly. Cheers to a fast recovery.

I just read this but I wanted to wish you a quick recovery , and to ask you to rest well.

And if your cardiologist asks you to service his JLC / Lange / Patek / AP, tell him politely to wait in line. But if your cardiologist is a she, well, the rest of us may not mind if you allow her some leeway ;-)

Get well soon!

Get well Al and take care.

After my ticker took a nose dive in February my doc said moderation & more moderation. Now she says, "go climb that set of stairs."

So I'm trying and thinking about a #4 wife! 馃槈

I have counted.

"Speedy" wins as adjective of choice for your recovery.

Coincidence? I think not.

I do appreciate all the good wishes and watch puns very much! I think the doc (male) is wearing a tag...oh well I fix those too. When he's here I am more focused on what he is saying than what watch he has on though. If I remember I'll look more closely next time I see him.

So this afternoon I have a stress test to check how things are going, and I will either be home tomorrow, or back in the OR for another stent on a partially blocked artery...as much as I want to be out of here I want to make sure if this other one needs to be taken care of we get that done and over with.

Thanks again guys...the wishes mean a lot.

Cheers, Al
