Message:
after a few months of swollen legs and feet
and just recently episodes of shortness of breath early in the
morning and a visit to my doctor - disagnoses chf. my past history
icludes arteriosclerosis, heart attack and three by-passes. I do
stretches, weights (15lbs), and walk a mile or two each day 4-5
days a week, and we eat sensibly and maintain resonable weight. My
feeling when told was mild in response but later the situation
began to sink into , both for my wife and myself.We are aware of
the seriousness of the situation and will reach acceptance as to
what it takes to live as long as i can with the best quaity of life
that i can We have always followed what we call, our golden
rule.
"we will do whatever it takes" Good luck to all and don't let this
type of thing put you down Gerry Stokes Ps. someone said if he
didn't do his exercise routine each day he felt "punny" I agree
with him!!! TC
