"You have to wonder what the hell you are doing, when it comes down to this.

Dieting doesn't work, pills don't work, wheelchairs don't work, fancy strategies don't work, shrinks don't work - not really. Don't settle for this garbage. Get up, and do something about it. Park those fuckers. Fight back, until you are right again, however long it takes."


LMR, I know that you mean well, but it just sounds insulting to me. How the fuck do you know what the hell kind of workouts mickey has been undergoing? Shouldn't workouts and exersize for recovery be done in stages? Please give the guy the benefit of doubt will you? I'm sure mickeycrimm is doing everything that he can withstand right now.

I don't normally read LMR but since you quoted him here I took a look to see what he is up to. You know the old saying. When you assume. You make an ass out of u and me. Get it? Ass + u + me = assume. lol!

One of my problems after the heart attack has been shortness of breath. How do you run track when you can't breath? It's gotten better but I still pack around an oxygen concentrator to sleep at night. I can hardly sleep without the oxygen. And the oxygen doesn't improve it that much. I'm taking naps during the day. My doctors have me in the middle of a sleep study. My next night with them I'll be sleeping with a CPAP to see how that works.

I'm 67 years old with a breathing problem and a heart that works at only two-thirds capacity. How much track am I supposed to run to "get back in shape?"

LMR is a young buck in good health that thinks thats the way its always going to be. I'm happy for him. But he will find out on his own that growing old ain't for lightweight pussies. No one escapes time, tide and old age unless they die young.

LMR said it took him ten years running track to get in shape. If I had to bet on whether I will be alive ten years from now, as a highly knowledgeable professional gambler, I would take the under. But I ain't bitchin' about it. I'm doing my best to stay mobile.
