Well.....I guess if yer gonna have a heart attack, a "mild" one is the best kind to have.  Get good and "healed up" before the weather turns and get you some good miles!  |

Hi, Art. I'm sorry to hear about your heart problem. I'm over 65 and learning that "my ol' body ain't what it used to be." I just gave up riding the Valk with Navigator and understand exactly how you feel, because it was a way of life for us. I hope you heal up and get a clearance from your doc.

Art, sorry to here about your incident. I hope you don't mind some well intentioned advise. Ask your Cardiologist if there is a Cardio Rehab class in your area that you can enroll in. Maybe you already are. I hope your back up to speed soon. |
