Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Any chest pain/tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness or nausea? If you're not having symptoms on exertion, I would think you'll be okay if you don't overdo it. It's been over a year, right? Has your doctor had you do any cardiac rehab?

Well, I always get muscle pains, even in my chest area. Especially when I am using the extended hedge trimmer above my head and give those muscles a pretty good workout. But nothing like I remember I had when I had my heart attack. As for getting winded, well heck, I'll be 73 next month. Shouldn't my body start acting like it is older?
I have taking cayenne pepper in pill form as I read somewhere that this can help remove existing plaque from blood vessels. And I have actually been eating apricot seeds lately that is supposed to have a host of benefits. I will say that my blood pressure has been very good lately, rarely getting over 120 and often actually hovering around 110.
Supposed to see my cardiologist in August and I REALLY want to get off of that Prasugrel crap. I still bruise way too easily for my taste. Heck, I have a bruise right now on my right wrist simply from carrying a rifle with it riding on that area while I walked. That is NOT right.
Not sure if I will remain on the Ramipril and atorvastatin. I often have a persistent dry cough that drives me crazy that I believe is being caused by the Ramipril. It is one of the notable side effects of that drug. It was supposed to help my heart to heal faster, so I figure it is either healed sufficiently now, or it never will be.
But I am not sure any of that will relieve the mental anxiety caused by how my heart attack actually hit me. I think I would have understood it more had I actually had it while working on that mailbox post. This was like a sneak attack that really caught me off guard and set the tone for me thinking that it could happen again that way.

You actually seem pretty healthy! Blood pressure is perfect, you're out doing things, instead of sitting and pushing a TV remote, and both you and Connie have good diets. I would stay on the statin and anticoagulant; arterial fat deposits and blood clots are contributors to heart attacks, as you know. The bruising sucks, but you seem to have recovered well, and I believe the meds helped you do that.

I would actually like to be getting more exercise by working in the yard, but it's been pretty hot and humid here lately. Doing any kind of labor outside and I'll be going through at least three changes of clothes before I am done.
But the benefit of that is that any stray mosquito that gets the idea in it's head of making a meal out of my blood will probably drown immediately when it lands on my exposed skin.
