    How many of you were smokers?

    My story is similar to yours. Nothing like a good cigar occasionally...but...but...but... It's good Cuban cigars are illegal here because it would probably be more than occasionally.

    Finally!! A good answer

    Chances are this has been posted but just in case... Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart...

    symbicort/asthma issues?

    Yes Yes SYMBICORT ~ YES ~ I use Symbicort. Once am and once pm. I think it's great. You have to rinse your mouth (with water) after each use or you'll get thrush, a yeast infection of the mouth. Easy to cure with a special rinse or a pill. I've had it twice (no big deal) but it's worth...

    excercise

    Don't rush it or you'll regret it. You have the rest of your life ( a longer life now) to get in shape. Everyones more vigorous varies so to be safe, I'll say 6 months to a year.

    A quiet chuckle

    :) It's been 13 months and I just noticed something that made me quietly chuckle. If I were a lady, I'm sure I would have a different reaction. My left nipple is 1.5-2" higher than my right. I guess the assistant that sewed me up was having eye trouble that day. Oh well, I never take my...

    Weather or Not

    Ok...Here is a nagging question that my honey and I disagree on the answer. Q. If the weather outside is 34* and the real feel is 30* Will water in a 2" pipe freeze? Right or wrong is not the objective. It's just finally knowing the answer. Well...I lied...I want to be able to prove I'm...

    No cardiac rehab available

    I would think that an RN at the hospital involved with cardio-rehab would give you a program that you could take to your nearest gym. Don't overdo ~~~ It starts out really easy. this is how I started; 1. stretching 2. 15 minutes bike 3. 15 minutes treadmill 4. 1o minutes very mild weight (1 to...

    Still have night sweats?

    2 weeks ~~~ how 'bout 2 months. It wasn't really bad but on my get up every 3 hr. routine I had to change my T-shirt after the first 3 hrs. My doc didn't seem concerned ???? It eventually went away. I never did know what caused it. Hope for you it is nothing serious.

    How do you sleep?

    Sleeping was really a tough issue...and... a year and 3 weeks later it still is. I am no longer in pain but ,except for occasionally, I seem to sleep in 3 hr increments with an hour or so in between. I once slept for 6 straight hrs and I thought it was a turning point but no ~~~ just an...

    Active, 10 months post surgery and not 100%?

    ~~~~~~~~~~ Well Cooker, It's lucky you don't live in Arizona. Swinging on those cacti can be very...prickly! ~~~~~~~~~~ I'm feeling much better at 13 months than I did at 10. If the snow would only melt I am really ready for some golf.

    Just Started Cardiac Rehab

    Another thing to check on. My insurance pays for a gym. I just continued at the gym what I learned at re-hab with slight increases. Maybe your insurance will also pay for gym priviledges under preventive measures. It at least might pay for a portion of it. Good luck...JdW

    Just Started Cardiac Rehab

    It's been one year and one week since my operation. One of the RN's from cardio re-hab just called and asked how I was doing. I couldn't believe it. They really do care. Of course, maybe they don't call everyone...maybe only us cute old farts. Chuckle/snort :D
