I'm changing my sig, see below. The point of this post is that I came home on Day 3 after the surgery and I'm about 2 months from being 80. The folks at the hospital said they'd never seen anyone, of any age, go home on Day 3 before. I'm telling folks that I trained for 30 years for this. "Never quit" is what I tell folks who want to know how I was so fit before the surgery. Of course, now my fitness is in the toilet, but I know how to train and I trained today, just a few walks, but they got my breathing rate up and I'm trying to use my inspirometer 10 times an hour. The medicals say it'll be 3 months before I can do anything interesting. Probably so.

Why did I need bypass surgery? Recent research postulates that it could be too much time in the upper zones, plus heredity. My older brother had a quadruple bypass in his 60s. He was not an athlete. I previously had 3 stents which this surgery bypassed.
