Hello all, got a message on my Blackberry about a half hour ago saying the hospital blood test results from my recent visit were available online, took a look at them and all are within normal ranges. It's about 39 degrees here now and raining, and I have seen numerous lightning flashes...weird, weird, weather this winter.

More good news, have been walking on the wife's treadmill for two 20 minute workouts a day, speeding up to 3.5 mph for the last five minutes, so far, no shortness of breath or signs of angina, going to try to increase it to 30 minutes each time today. May never know what sent me to the ER, but if I don't have to return, I don't need to know the cause. Thanks, all, for your support. :thumbsup:

In 2005 almost exactly a month after my wife had to have a pacemaker inserted, I was taken to the hospital in the wee hours of Sunday morning in congestive heart failure. My pulse 02 was low seventies. BP was extremely high, never found out exactly what it was. On Monday morning I did a stress test and ran 7 minutes on the treadmill at a moderate jog and only got my pulse rate to 115. My bp dropped right to normal within 3-4 minutes, etc...
Until today none of us really knows what caused the sudden blood pressure spike that nearly killed me, and within hours I was what seemed perfectly normal. At that time I was a 30 minute a day biker going at least 8 miles per round. You just never know.

39F and calm this morning. The dust has dropped out of the sky from yesterday's dust storm so that it is clear to the horizon. Yesterday, at one point, the dust reduced visibility here to 1/4 mile or less. The sky was a hazy orange/brown color and you could smell dust in the air if you could quit sneezin' and weezin' long enough to smell. Now, every horizontal surface in my house feels gritty.

EDIT: Just read all the posts in this thread. Bill, I hope you continue to be troublefree. I didn't see it posted, but are you on a daily aspirin therapy? I think I'd look into that. It's cheap insurance.

Supposed to hit 42 today, so that should take care of the freezing rain (I hope)!!

Good morning everyone. It is 37* and pouring down rain. This is on top of the 6" of snow we got over the weekend. Man I wish we could divert some of this moisture your way jinman. Sounds like you could use it. USA today had an article that said Pa had its wettest year on record in 2011 and boy do I know it.
