Better, stronger, faster (almost)

It's amazing to me that just under 5 months ago I had heart surgery. I feel great. I can run or bike just about as well as ever. And I've regained all my muscle strength. I'm exercising 4 times a week, and am confident that in time I'll surpass my pre-surgery condition. That rocks! It's a true testament to the wonders of modern surgery and the skills of the Johns Hopkins medical staff.

So, any after effects? Just one -- a medication I'm still on sometime makes me dizzy if I stand up quickly. My cardiologist will determine how long I need to have this prescription. It may be for the long-term to address an arrhythmia I may have, but we'll see.

Oh, and the scar? A few have asked. Let me put it this way, there's no doubt I had surgery, but I think most people would guess it's more than a year ago, rather then months. It really looks good, and after all, as they say, scars are tattoos with better stories!
