Title: Annual heart check-up
Post by: Des on May 02, 2017, 03:41:38 PM
It has been 20 years since my heart attack and the operation which involved 6 by-passes. I have been having annual checks of my heart since the surgery and today was another of those days, the 20th anniversary of the by-pass surgery. The stress test I did gave excellent results with all graft working perfectly and pumping an excellent flow of blood, the doctor said that my blood pressure and pulse rate were that of a teenager, I can't ask for a better result than that.

Great news. I have a heart check-up every year and always breath a sigh of relief when they tell me I'm not dead. :D

Great news Des; like Cimmerian I too feel great relief every year to be reminded I'm still here, and your situation is doubly encouraging!

Glad to hear that, it's good to care frequently and constantly about health, especially to check-up the heart. My father sadly did not care enough and missed his annual check-ups fore several years and so we lost him much too early. I learned that lession the hard way. As Lance said, your situation is really encouraging!
All the best
