Egad! I had a heart attack.

Wow. Best of luck, Zkribbler. Discipline sucks, but less than death, right?

I was hoping to make it through that intensely romantic adventure, only to be shot be a jealous husband.


Although I've kept up my walking regimen ever since Friday, I know how I am with discipline when it comes to exercising. So, I'm thinking about no longer taking my car to work. It's 1 1/2 miles to a Gold Line stop, which is a light-rail line that runs into downtown. Then I can take the subway to work. So, that's a 1 1/2 mile walk, twice a day, with the last half mile home going up a fairly steep hill --But the thought of rain, heat waves and air-quality alerts is giving me pause.

Good luck, Zkribb.

[Zkribbler]

Thanks...but I'd feel better if your avatar wasn't aiming a cannon at me.

[Berzerker]

the cannon is obviously a left winger

Well if you want some facts, here's few: the walk gets easier every day. At some point, you'll break the point when you actually start to enjoy it. Guaranteed.

take up golf

I swear if I'm not diabetic I'm close, or maybe I just have a prostate problem, but when I play golf my symptoms go away.

ECG ! Zkrib.

Well, at least you have got a early and "safe" warning so you can do something - stop drinking, stop smoking, no sex, no good food, lots of pills, well, that is if you don't do something .

I've just buried my father who died due to a bad heart he got at 63 though kept it ticking for 12 more years *).

Now having scared you, I hope you get well and nurse your heart so it will keep on for a long time (and have a lot of fun).


*) He had the bad luck to get a nasty infection at a heart surgery wich cut off several years

Two doctors were talking. One said, "I'm getting a lot of stress patients, aind I really don't know what to do with them. How do you treat your stress patients?"

"I ask them if they play golf," replied the second. "If they say 'no,' I tell them to take it up for the relaxation. If they say 'yes,' I tell them to cut it out!"

Take it easy, Zscrib. Maybe it's all that stress from finishing your best-selling novels!

[Gatekeeper]

Glad to see you're doing OK, Zkribbler. I, too, had a life-changing diagnosis five years ago, one that forced me to improve my lifestyle. I still give myself "outs," but nowhere near as much as I once did ... and I don't regret the change.

You, too, will come to love the better way of living.

My God Zkribber! Thank goodness you are still with us...I believe this "medical situtation" is creaping-up on on a number of us Aploytoners (I am in this pool with you all given my age).
