Pretty good.

I've been seeing a lot of specialists and undergoing a lot of tests. Most everything I've had done to this point has come back favorably. I do have a heart issue, likely hereditary that will need to be addressed at some point. Mainly due to that, I've (we including my wife) have made some significant dietary changes. Today marks exactly 2 months since I first went into the ER (just realized that as I write this) and over the past 60 days I've lost 27 pounds and I feel SO much better. Back to the heart, the issue that will need addressed is my aortic valve, the good news is that it's in much better shape than originally feared. I was originally diagnosed with "moderate stenosis" but after further testing, blood work, etc. it is now considered "minimal." 

My recent blood work and vitals were probably the best numbers I've had since I was a young adult. BP is fantastic, Cholesterol is good. I probably exercise slightly more than I did prior to all of this but just changing what I put into my system is paying off. I can't stress enough how important it is to eat good, healthy foods. Veggies, nuts, fruits...and lean meats. No eating after supper. No, or very little in the way of sugary drinks.

It matters. 

Sorry for late reply, i wasn't on until now. Sounds like you're on the mend. Glad to hear. Diet is key, along with exercise. i have found that Good supplements is a bonus in addition to diet and exercise. I'd rather take supplements the pharmaceuticals.

@sauss06 - go O's! I was thinking about you today. I hope you and your daughter had a great time together.

We were at Saturdays game, turned out a perfect day.  And we were treated to a great ball game. I don't drink much any more, but beers taste pretty good at baseball games

Part of a tree is on the roof of friend's garage out near Linglestown. It was wild - the city itself didn't see much issue this time with the wind somehow. 

A girl i coached in softball, her and her husband had a tree split their shed completely in half

i know this is late, but i was busy Saturday and Sunday. That storm Friday night was worse then any remanents from any hurricane that we ever had.  I have never been nervous about the big trees in my yard as i was Friday, early Saturday. Its sounded like a Phucking freight train. The FD started going on calls around 1030, never stopped answering alarms until about 4am, The Enola area had so many trees and wires down more then i can ever remember in all my years as a fireman. So many transformer were blowing it sounded like a war zone and we were being bombed.

Hell our dog that we usually have to fight to keep out, got in and right back out. It was kinda of comical
