June 23rd will be my one year anniversary of my "heart attack"... Keep after it! There is lots you can do to reduce your risk, and get you off those blood meds that give you the whirlies when you stand up...<br /><br />Check out a book by Dr. Esselstyn - you can review it at:<br />www.heartattackproof.com<br /><br />Its a pretty massive lifestyle change, but it feels like it's working for me.<br /><br />Congrats on making it this far, and hope to hear about your "1 year party" next March<br /><br />Pierre!Pierre!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31040015.post-76081242585242560882009-05-17T09:40:00.000-04:002009-05-17T09:40:00.000-04:00It's been almost 2 months and my recovery is, I think, complete. I just did a 30 km ride on the big stretched cruiser yesterday at a very decent pace. I feel fine and so is the ticker.<br /><br />Gerry :)Geraldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08141103514683766293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31040015.post-51341851207692130182009-05-17T09:17:00.000-04:002009-05-17T09:17:00.000-04:00Best wishes on a speedy recovery from another silent reader. Your site has always been upbeat and positive in addition to its usefulness. Its a breath of fresh air in an era of purposeless criticism and negativity. God speed to you.

Blimey!!<br /><br />You seem to have come out of it in fairly good shape considering the seriousness of the episode, but that doesn't change the fact that you and your family have been through a very scary and worrisome (not to mention painful) time. I too am 43 and it's a stark reminder to me to keep looking after my body as best I can.<br /><br />Keep recovering fast, Gerry. You're a much loved and appreciated fella in this neck of the internet woods.<br /><br />And my bike problem? Nah, it can wait. Kinda puts everything into perspective, doesn't it!<br /><br />Very best wishes,<br />NeilNeil Jenkinshttp://www.twitter.com/NeilJenkins65noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31040015.post-66168080355600797332009-04-06T16:55:00.000-04:002009-04-06T16:55:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tom Reingoldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18210010557421996209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31040015.post-45785527111105905532009-04-06T16:54:00.000-04:002009-04-06T16:54:00.000-04:00Goodness, heart attacks are always a surprise.
