Hangin In There ...

Just about 4 months since my heart attack now. Cardiologist is pleased with my progress. Finished 2 months of supervised rehab and now continuing the routine on my own.

So far so good. No dysrythmias, heart racing or shortness of breath. Exercise tolerance is noticeably better. Knocking out 3.5mph at 10 degrees on the treadmill 3 - 4 times a week along with an assortment of resistance work ...not to mention all the walks my wife and I take.

Still too soon to begin even thinking seriously about planning a dive trip but, being the optomist I am ...not a day goes by that I don't see myself on a dive trip as soon as possible. Was going to sell off all my gear and u/w photo stuff at first but now have decided to hold on to all of it for at least a year.

Any other "success" or come back stories from heart attack that anyone can share just to feed my optomism ??

All the best ...
