Peace, love and get well soon.

In the words of LW, hisself, quote "FU and your effin trekking poles" . Not an exact quote, but close enough. The Winter Ruck, Pine Grove State Park, approx. 1:00 AM. by the campfire. Sorry, I don't remember the year.

Just realized the date of all these goings on and appologize for jumping in mindlessly. The shock of hearing "Heart attack and quadrupple bypass" sent my mind into overdrive. I missed 2nd and 3rd gear thereby never looked at the date of the original post. Relieved to realize you're home and feeling better. Good job.
I had an ICD installed in January and "may have had" a heart attack in 2003, while caretaking at UGP, so I "may have" felt some of your pain.
Again, glad you're home and looking forward to seeing both you and Gypsy at Trail Days!

LW, can you give us an update on your health, weight loss, and exercise routine?
my health is damn good right now as we speak. my cholesterol, good and bad are at normal levels. my BP is normal. heart rate in the 50s.
i've lost around 25 lbs. since surgery. i pay attention to what i eat and drink daily
i ride my bike around town quite a bit daily and i run 2 miles on the creeper trail every other day. i'm planning on running the Holiday Lake 50k trail race in february so i'll start increasing my daily runs as the summer wears on.
I'm happy to hear you're doing well, LW. Best of luck in your continued recovery and upcoming ultra!

**** Wolf, I'm glad you're back up and around brother! I've been thinking about you a lot the last month, as I'm training a little and might try some of those runs you turned me onto. Also tentatively planning another shot at the AT this coming spring. Don't make me have to come to an old folks or convalescent home to come see you man!
Be well...

Completing an ultra-marathon, 6 months after your heart-attack and subsequent surgery, would be a HUGE personal victory. It is a very exciting and ambitious goal, and speaks volumes about your tenacity, resilience and motivation.
Best of luck and good health to you, my friend. You clearly have figured-out what is important in life.

Glad to hear things are well L.W. good to meet you by the juke box at Dot's during trail days...Bumpa
Hey LW, glad you are recovering nicely. Keep hikin' dude! Maybe one day we can meet, hang some food in trees, treat some water, and let you try out my trekking poles! :p Just kidding. I bet we'd find some good reasons to share one another's company. ;)

Lonewolf has everybody snowed. I saw him today and I swear he's getting younger. He is the picture of health.
Best of luck, LW. I've never had a heart attack. But I suffered from a badly leaking valve that from child hood kept me from being a serious runner. The valve was fixed -- after 70 years -- nearly a decade ago. But irregular heart beats continue.
I well know the challenge -- and the importance -- of keeping the push to not give up. I say push, push, push, to live. and to enjoy life. We only have one life. Make it last. And keep it being a challenge.

Glad to hear you are doing well Wolfie, too bad you couldn't do the one mile or so out to Hippy Hoppy`s to at least visit Hairntville during trail daze. Missed ya the whole weekend despite several trips to town. I did see Gypsy tho which was great. I still need a good deal on a mountain bike so keep me in mind. I am also planning my Sept. b-day hike from Fox creek South to DamAssKiss this year so you can either go along or drop us off ;-),,, HAIRNT !
Hope to see ya soon. I am just waiting on my heart attack to happen, I know it's coming.

It's indeed great to be alive, though we aren't really all that intimate with the alternatives(!).

Good to hear your doing great after that.
When I was a teen, I remember my mom seeing people she met in her cardiac rehab die from successive heart attacks because they didnt change. Some people still smoked, still ate poor, didnt excercise, etc.
We ate a lot of turkey and chicken after my moms heart attack, and my mom went to aerobics for the next 20 yrs. When we were at the beach with my mom one day my wife said to me "You know, I would kill to have your moms body." My mom was 62 at the time.

Congrates Lone Wolf on your second chance at life. Its great to have such wonderful Drs. Not everyone gets that second chance. Just yesterday I recieved a call from my sister. They were skiing in Tahoe. Her husband had a masive heart attack and pretty much died on the slopes. They to keep him alive on life support at the hospital so his mother from NC could get there but that did not happen. Funeral in CA net week. Wolf I know you are eating healthy and exercising still. What were your symptoms? Us old fat farts need to be aware. Please share.

Trekking poles, a filter, and a week's lodging at his favorite hostel......at the height of the hiking season! And when he recovers, a week's hiking with Sean Penn; Michael Moore; Al Franken; Keith Olbermann; Alec Baldwin; and of course, Rosie O'Donnell.
The good news is that at trip's end, Wolf will be the only one to walk out of the woods. :D

I am glad to here that Lone Wolf is doing well. If either of you need anything you just let me or us know.
I have always felt a strange connection to your "pithy" one liners LW. Maybe it's because your life was saved at the same hospital that my first daughter was born in 1968. Maybe it's that I understand where your coming from. I'm not sure but here's to your keeping the post coming far into the future.
A stress test for anyone over 50 or who is at high risk of a heart attack is a must. I did mine at 57 and was lucky then with a good report but I'm probably due for another soon. A high school buddy in Maryville just had a HA and said he didn't have much pain just a lot of pressure and it was very hard to breath.

Whoa, opened the thread on Gypsy's 1st post and thought it just happened. Good to hear it ain't so.
Though I understand why people say it's bad news, it's actually not bad news. It's good news. I'm glad it went well. It's one of the miracles of modern science, a bypass.

Is that a rhetorical question?:sun Many people, including some WBers, have a different internet persona from their face-to-face interactions. But perhaps it's too easy to blame the internet; ever since the written word developed, a dichotomy of expression has existed between the two basic forms of communication: oral, interpersonal conversation vs. the written word.

Well, when you are mean, I know you mean well.
Seriously, just noticed that there are more than a page of posts to this thread for every 1000 WB posts you have made.
Feel the love, and be well! Hope I get to meet you some time.

Lone Wolf, I'm glad to know you are still happy and healthy! See you when I hike into Damascus sometime in May.

Glad that you booted up this thread again. I've been busy the past few days (actually past 2 weekends away from computers - so sweet).
Happy Heart - Healthy anniversary. Many more to you (you old swamp yankee ;)).

oohhhhrraaahhhh
Congrats on your anniversary. I just celebrated one year since my aortic valve replacement that I had done the day after my 49th birthday. My was due to a birth defect that resulted in the failure of my valve. Have been lucky enough to have a great recovery and have been out on 4 extended trips in the last year. Keep up the good work with your exercise and diet. And like you I owe my life to the love of a good woman.

Ah....well that I understand....but you had me worried there for a minute. I sent him a PM after halloween to thank him for the Buddy efforts, but his box was full and I haven't seen him post. He is frequently on FB though.
