Ha! Thank you
ericoseveins. I think maybe you're not alone in your assessment. But I'm just out doing what I can. I had a sudden cardiac death (vfib) incident 16 years ago. 3% chance of survival. Shoulda killed me. And my docs are great and well intentioned but they don't/cant know everything. And if they said "NFW you should do this," I'd listen. I think. So, I think i'm more risk tolerant than many but I try not to be reckless. . . like I didn't do any gravel touring in the middle of no where in central oregon last summer. So, you know, we all do what we can.
