====================================
Well ...I feel like am doing well. Hope it's a true indicator. I was in pretty darn good shape when I had the attack and I am certain that is a big factor (along with my attitude and rehab discipline) in my recovery.
Had an echo last week actually. Results were marginally better than the first echo done in March but the Cardiologist indicated that the ultrasound typically lags a bit and what's more important is how I feel and my improvement in terms of exercise tolerance. Next check-up is in October and he anticipates seeing measurable increase in LV ejection fraction.
Appreciate your reply ...now back to work. Oh, and did I mention that I was cleared to return to work in MRI. I work at an orthopedic/sports med clinic and operate a 0.2 Tesla extremity magnet. The biomed people came and did measurments which showed that my ICD did not sense magnetic interference unless I was within about 6" of the magnet.
All in all I am a pretty lucky guy.
