A few weeks back I went for my regularly scheduled visit with my cardiologist. He asks me if I was aware that I had suffered a heart attack since my last visit (June). Uh.....no. Had no idea. So he schedules me for a cardiac catheterization two days later. While still coming out of the fog he tells me that the vessels feeding my heart are so packed they are brittle and that I required emergency open heart surgery. So two days after that I had the bypass surgery. That was October 13th. Talk about a busy week. Anyways, feeling better every day. Can't wait to get back into the woods next Spring. Folks, if you're on the trail pounding the miles, eat whatever you can get your hands on. But in-between excursions, watch what you eat. There is way more unhealthy food than healthy food. I learned the hard way.
