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...

:) 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...

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...

I am not on coumadin, I only take one 81 aspirin daily. Yet, I bruise easily and a lot. Most of the time I don't even know it until I see it. "hmmmmm,,,I wonder how I did that!" Maybe it's just a combination of aspirin and progressing age (67) Anyway...How 'bout you?

Did I read this here...on a different day...at a different time? If you didn't know how old you were, how old would you be? I just turned 67 last week and I refuse to be 67. Yup, I hurt all over when I get up. My hair is thinning. My teeth are coming out and the rest are kinda yellow. I...

I've always been weary of flu shots but now that I've had surgery...? You guys and gals are the best informed so I've decided to take your advice............YES or NO?

Last month I had jury duty and each time I walked thru the security portal I set off the alarm. I thought Carl Cop was gonna draw his weapon. This month I flew to Texas and back and I didn't set off any. So I guess the Q is; Are different portals set at different degrees or does time do...

I just set my own personal SLEEP record 6Hours!!!!! Since the operation I've been up and down every 2-3 hours so 6 hours is truly a record. Even if it doesn't last it feels good. My next record to break is staying in bed past 4am. What's the # for 'Guiness'? LOL :D

It was DEWayne that told me about this site and I owe him and all of you a lot. DeWayne, your new life started 2 years ago. Way to go! :D

Is anyone excited about the upcoming Olympics? Do you dream about when you were younger and stronger and faster? Do you take steroids to honor the young Olympians? I can't totally put my finger on it but for some reason it just doesn't seem to be as special to me as it used to be. I do...

Well, not really, But he is better than my old one. The one that skipped town. But that's another story. He came highly recommended and he gave me a whole hour of his time. Yes, one whole hour. He answered every question I had in detail. He took me off of my beta-blocker(gradually) and told...

Looking at his new picture it appears to be. I do like the patriotic head band though...it adds a nice touch. Enjoy...and thank you for being you! :D

It's 34 degrees in Northern Idaho...and...and...and...SNOWING! I'm freezing my _______ off. This is ridiculous. The good news is I'm alive and can complain about it. Let's build a snowman :) :)

I know I'm probably duplicating many threads so please forgive me. I've read your answers about stamina without finding mention of pain. My heart is fine (I think). I have an appt with my new cardiologist in 2 weeks and I've been holding off to ask him but why wait when I have all of you to...

When you get home you're gonna have a whole bunch of pills to take. Most of them are for a short time but a 'pill organizer' is inexpensive and helpful. If this has already been mentioned then you already have one. Or, if you read the thread 'How many pills do you take?' you've already...

Just curious~~ The 3 weeks after my operation I think I took more pills than I have the rest of my life combined, and I'm 66. Now, I take: 2 pills in the morning 2 pills in the evening 1 vitamin pill 0-2 tylenol Lets say 6 pills daily. Plus I use an inhaler twice daily. I'm wondering, is 6...

I have now made 15 visits to cardio re-hab and they have impressed upon me the importance of continued exercise when I finish. They also stressed the new philosophy has changed from 3-5 days a week to 5-7. Here in North Idaho it seems like winter is 6 months long and I live in a very small place...

...and I'm a guy. Hi all, I'm a newbe and this is my first post. Just hit 8 weeks and starting to feel a little better with less pain after my aortic replacement valve. Suddenly my breast is all puffy (with fluid?) The doc wasn't available fri but the PA said it probably wasn't anything to...
