So now Dr wants me to get an implantable defibrillator

Still alive for now

Go to consult in early March with surgeon to get their take. Who knows if they even feel it’s needed.

It’s not a “big” deal I guess - but still given the roller coaster of no issues to major surgery and then dealing with all this after - it’s a lot to process.

Need to start getting off my ass and back into the gym too - was doing good till around Christmas - then the holidays/work got busy and the snow and cold started and I quit leaving the house - been there like 3 times this month.

Funny - cold weather never bothered me till this - now it’s a major pain in the ass. They warned me you become more sensitive following a heart attack (cold weather constricts arteries - reducing ability for body to move oxygen via the bloodstream). Also having issues with my legs going numb - could be from this or could be beginning of Parkinson’s - which is scary in its own right. Fell more this month than I have in my entire life I think.

Sorry to hear that, it shall be exhausting to your psychology as it would to everyone of us.

Need to start getting off my ass and back into the gym too - was doing good till around Christmas - then the holidays/work got busy and the snow and cold started and I quit leaving the house - been there like 3 times this month.

A healthy lifestyle is the best. Walk, workout, socializing when you feel it, eat healthy and in the proper times - not before sleep.

could be beginning of Parkinson’s - which is scary in its own right. Fell more this month than I have in my entire life I think.

Nobody knows the bad things the future may bring to us, illness, cancer, hit by a car.
These thoughts are only depressive. Live the moment and keep it up!
