5 weeks ago I had open heart surgery, triple bypass. had a couple arteries 98% blocked. I am 69. for the last few years I have kept going, pretty active. had slowed down a lot from younger days, but hey I am no kid anymore. I had physicals, I would tell the doc am somewhat short of breath, he would tell me my lungs are clear. EKG normal, he says.. taking low dose of statins.
I feel so much stronger and better now. . it took a few weeks to get over the operation. before the operation I was really dragging. yes I had built quite a bit of fence over the winter.. but last summer it was hard to take the heat and do much really, and mentally I had become not my self.....
I mention all this because there are many men on here my age. I have to wonder how many really need to take notice of their health. I blamed my lack of energy and dulled mental outlook on my age and the hot humid miserable SE Tx weather!!!!!!!
