The cardiac rehab/workout sessions are still continuing, until the end of the year anyway. After that my insurance probably won't pickup the cost, so I may just try to go it on my own. I'm sure your physical therapist can recommend a good place to continue and give you an outline for a one year plan. Considering the benefits, a gym/health club membership is cheap. It's a habit, and although a good one and hard to get into, at least you know it. What health insurance covers that, it's amazing . Ours barely covers anything, w/ co-pays almost the price of the service.Be sure to inquire if your health insurance will reimburse part of your membership fee. I get $150 a year towards mine -- not a fortune, but every bit helps.

Obviously, we can't continue to call them that. Might offend somebody.

It's getting pretty bad when we're worrying about offending a snack cake.
I get offended when you refer the other cakes to Ding Dongs...i mean come on...those things dont even measure up!
Just a note to all you other guys with heart disease in your genetics, make sure that you monitor what you body is doing and pay attention to any warning signs. This is one disease that doesn't necessarily strike those who appear to be the most high risk.

But if you don't have high blood pressure or high cholesterol and you're feeling OK, how would you know if you're about to have a problem until it actually happens? I'm guessing that in cases like this nothing would show up on a routine checkup?
What kind of routine are they going to advise you to do on your own? Are they at least going to tell you what your maximum level of intensity should be?
