I am amazed how the body can bounce back from such trauma. My recovery has been going really well and expect to be back at work within the next 3 to 4 weeks. Right now to key to me getting back to work is dropping the weight i have put on since the heartattack. I feel good in 1st and 2nd gear but it is in 3rd gear that bothers my heart. As i lose weight this will allow me to get into 3rd gear. My oral fixations are still there but not near as bad but sadly still there. Sunflower seeds have helped but i have to rinse them off and put in oven because sodium is so high.
I told my center manager that when i come back it would have to be in the middle of peak, that's just my luck. But that i should try to prolong it so that i return on january 1st. He didn't think that was a good idea.
But knowing i am coming back prob around dec 1st i really need to make sure im in tip top shape cause we all know what kind of chaos i will be in store for.

Cobra....good luck with your recuperation. You mentioned 'oral fixation'...does that mean you quit smoking? If so, just expect that urge to be there........after 2 years since quitting I want one every morning with my coffee. I just find a distraction and the urge goes away. If I read the paper with my morning coffee, then I don't have free hands to make me crave one. It's hard, but worth it.

That's great news, Tooner. He must have a great caregiver!!
Thanks all!! more I just kick him in the butt, alot.
Cheryl , that is exactly what the doc said, as they did not expect him to stay good this long. With so much damage. We dont follow the rule, "if it tastes good spit it out"
We do everything in moderation. He always, we not so much. He eats early as I dont get home til too late to eat. Beef maybe once a week, twice if its a good reason, rarely fast food. No prepared foods full of sodium, but he loves the shaker of salt.
I berated him for moving railroad ties the other day, (no I bitched at him) but my son had bought him a winch for Christmas coz he knew...........which he used...........
He rides his harley which increases his good mood, and its really fast which gets his heart rate up. I dont know what all contributes to the going well thingy, but I know we are blessed. We have seen younger men, never get a second chance, and it humbles us.

Tooner... Congratulations on the good news. I know it takes a bit to get used to, but at home I bought the "NoSalt" It's made of Potassium Chloride instead os Sodium Chloride. It's much better for you then regular salt. (Remember sometimes you hear people suggest eating banana's for the Potassium?" Well this gives you the potassium without the negative effects of it being high in simple carbs. After a while, you don't notice the difference in taste. Try it, and have him add a dash of the "nosalt" along with some regular salt. Eventually he can keep reducing the regular salt and increasing this.
Hope this helps.
