I know a lot of guys on here are not spring chickens. I’m not here to lecture, but you should go to and listen to your doctors. At 57, I still thought I was a badass, and could continue to drink beer and eat like shit. Well, on August 18, I suffered a massive heart attack, which due to the severity and complications, pinned me to a hospital bed for 35 days. I’ve been home now for about a week and a half trying to build my strength back up so I can get back outdoors and enjoy the things I like to do. Things are progressing slowly, but God willing, I should be back in a box stand come November. Don’t screw around with your health boys! Your life can change for the worse in a second if you do. Take care!

Take care! Wow, that's crazy. I'm glad to hear you are healing up and working on getting back outdoors.

Take care! Glad your doing better. Agree, you need to take care of the basics when managing your health. For the most part eating right and exercising need to be an every day occurrence while eating whatever you want needs to be on off days. Hang in there, don't rush things!

Glad you're not dead Satchmo! Me too! A lot of things went right to beat the “Widow Maker”. Just out of curiosity, no need to answer if you don't want to; did you have high b.p.? High cholesterol? Were you doing a baby aspirin a day? My maternal grandfather died of a massive heart attack in his 40s. I've always worried I got some of his "bad" genes

Glad to hear you are ok. For every day you lay in a hospital it will take a day or two to recover. Keep moving and get your strength back.
