August Update and Reflections

A little over two months (as well as two stents later) after my initial heart attack, I find myself becoming more comfortable with the possibility that there may be further major changes in my life. But, be that as it may, I have been asking the proper questions, and taking the proper precautions, and I've been almost assured that in the future, I will be as active as I have been in the past. One thing it's going to take it being able to wait and see, and to recognize the small victories as they come.
I know how very fortunate I've been, and I thank God daily for the miracles that have come along, from the right people being around at the right time, all the way through modern medical procedures. With each new turn, a new part of my life's path becomes evident, and the clearer it becomes that God has had this all in hand all along.
For now, I will listen to my doctors, my friends, and my handler (my loving wife, Pat). It is all I can do. They keep me humble and on the right road. As for the rest of you, prayers, thoughts, vibrations, or whatever you believe in sending my way have helped immensely. Through your love and support I know. As I've said before, deep within my chest lies a heart that beats.....and that's good enough for me.
