Seems I’m OK

[aviator]

Doctor says I’m ready for the Olympics, go back to my exercise routine but go slow (which I’ve been doing already for a week). Still have nerve pain from surgery on both sides of my chest but not the heart area. I’ve got a few years left , bring the beer.

Don’t really know how much time I have left but then again none of us do. Dr said I’ll see you in September, if we are alive. He’s a 76 year old guy.

I'm pleased to hear the doctor has cleared you for at least a few more years. We all hope he's wrong and it's a lot longer. You now have the beach house you've always wanted, so that's huge.

My younger brother visited this weekend. He has a pretty healthy outlook on aging. He is facing some serious health issues: type 1 diabetes and wrecked knees but is taking it all in stride. He and his girlfriend are going strong. He sold his motorcycle and is planning on getting a pontoon boat to leisurely float along the river. He absolutely refuses to do any more dangerous ladder construction projects and has made a decision to "slow down".

I'm kinda the opposite. Although retired for 5 years, and am 5 years older than him, I'm driven to complete projects, goals and objectives. Eventually, it's gonna hit me as well. In many respects, it already has. I can't keep the pace of me in my 20's'. I can bust ass outside for maybe 4 hours, then come into the house, eat lunch and crash for 1-1/2 hours. Then I wake up and go another 3 hours and collapse. I still love it. But I can tell my days are numbered.

I've been gone a couple days. What was the surgery for?

Wait until you hit 60…the energy level

falls dramatically every year thereafter

my open heart surgery back in August. Heart is still not up to par but will have to do, it's the only one I have.

I left 60 behind quite a few years ago. You and I are head to head.
