Well, now that you have had one, the bloom is off the rose...so to speak.  No need to do that again.  Eat healthy, live healthy, and make bows.

These Blood Thinners that I am on make me feel cold.
So, I guess my REAL COLD Weather hunting days are over.
I can take 25 degrees quite well.  Done that about two weeks back. ;D

Gonna have to move more when possible to get your blood temp up! haha. i hope you are doing real well sir and can hopefully do whatever you feel. but, i have to ask what are/were, your life habits? Eating wise, smoker, drinker, exercise? i'm just curious. but when it comes to things like this, life is short isn't it? live.be happy now. even sometimes no matter what. Some people look down on things truly aren't even bad. you think the colds better for your heart? less heat or humidity working on it. deep clean breaths. . .

Huntertrapper:
Well Young man, I will tell you.
Don't smoke. Never Have.
Don't drink. Never Have.
Have walked a mile or two (almost everyday) for the past 20 years.  That is the truth.
Cut and split Firewood on a regular bases.  10 to 12 cords a year.  By my self.
I am 6' tall and never weighed more than 189 pounds.

My wife's parents both had heart problems.
So, Since we have been married (21 years) I have eat a very heart healthy diet.
So much fish and chicken that I think I could swim up stream and go to roost.
I eat two apples almost everday, oatmeal for breakfast half the time and lots of veggies.
I love veggies and fruit.

No history of heart problems with any of my relatives......

Had a nurse call me about a week after I got home.  Gave her all of the above answers....
She said " You Mr. Key are the type of person that scare the @#%& out of us health professionals."

Just a few days back the Dr. told me that my liver just does not process fat like most livers do.
I am just one of those unlucky people.  It used to be that folks like me killed over....
Dr. Told me to be carefull in extreme hot or cold for the next year.  My heart still has a way to go before it is completely healed.  Extreme temps make the heart work hard.

Life is short...  But, As Pappy said "Life is Good" and I intend to live it well.
I feel great! ;D  Have started actually "working out"  Real Cordeo and Weight Training.
Have Lost down to 179 Pounds and a few mussels have stared to sprout.  The wife likes that. ;)

RR makes a good point.  He HAS lived well and carefully.  Imagine if he had eaten fast food twice a day for years, sat on the couch escercising only his thumb on the clicker watching TV with his spare time, all the while chain smoking and cracking 12 oz belly busters!  He'd have been dead at 30!

Atta boy, RR.  Continue to live well while you can.  Don't count the days, count the joy.

Just wanted to let all of you folks know that I have completed my Cardeo Rehab.
Those nurses worked the $#!^ out of me.  Lost about ten pounds of flab then put on about 6 pounds of muscle.  Got my stamina back.  I guess we will see how good it is the first time I fire up my Chainsaw and 8lb splitting maul.  But, these blood thinners I am on make me bruise real easy.  It might be that most of these blood thinners can be stopped in another 8 months or so.  I sure hope so....  They make me cold as well...  Had my final walking test to evaluate my condition.  Nurse marked off 100' in the hall.  Had to walk as far as I could ( back and forth ) in six minutes.  I covered 2355'.  Nurse was blown away and said she thought that was a new record.
I did not even have my good walking shoes on. :D

Have a three month FREE membership to a gym and have started jogging a bit at home.

"Life is good" and I plan to live it well.

Glad to hear you are doing well, David.

I had three heart attacks in a weekend, 90 % blockage, two stints in the major artery fixed me right up too.

Thanks for the good words guys.

Pat: 
I don't think I could have covered a whole mile at that speed.  My heart rate was up to 140 beats per minute.  That may not sound to high but for someone on "Bata Blocker Drugs" it is.

My Jogging is "NOT PRETTY" now.  I don't think a speedo would help one bit. ;D

Roy:
Both forks on my Left Circumflex Artery were blocked right at 95%.  One fork got roto ruttered the other got a stint.  Fixed me right up as well.
