I visited a few times but didn't post anything in the last couple of weeks.
The ticker started acting up again.
I have a couple of stents already and I'll probably go for another angioplasty(sp)
Tomorrow I'm going for a doppler sonogram on my legs. The right calf swells up so they
want to check for clots. The heart isn't in the best of shape, ejection fraction is at 18%(not too good) for a couple of years.
I'm on a diet and managed to loose 20 lbs. Man, it's hard, but I gotta keep going at it.
Don't mean to complain, but just wanted to let you guys know I'm still kickin'.
Angelo
