The stress test I took last month was read and the doctor reading it said I was a candidate for a MI, their way of saying a heart attack.

Been changing a few things, need to change more.
They tell me to exercise, but then turn around and say don't exercise too hard.
Now what?
If I don't get the heart rate up, it won't burn off fat. (sigh)

If I don't exercise, I'll have a heart attack, if I exercise I'll have a heart attack.

A lose lose situation.

Br Gerry,
Do mild exercise that does not fatigue you too much, walk and visit others. Tell them about Jesus & help them as you are able.

Do not forget to read 1st Corinthians ch 13 & Isaiah chapter 58 often and pray to understand and follow them. God will fulfil their blessings within you.

practice the golden rule & memorize Peters' Ladder and the Sermon on the Mount. Make flash cards to use & memorize outloud while you walk. As you walk you will gradually get physically stronger & as you help others and tell of Jesus - you will love more & as you memorize and apply - you will become more hopeful and joyful in the Lord. This will do your heart good, for it is God's medicine for your insides.

Let your fatigue & strength both be your guidelines each day and be satisfied with doing what you can do, not what you want to do if it exceeds your present capacities. If you allow yourself to gradually buildup you will not cause yourself un needed setbacks. I am learning the hard way myself.

1. Exercise Loving Jesus with who you are & what you have.

2. Exercise Loving your wife with who you are & what you have.

3. Exercise Loving your family with who you are & what you have.

As you are able, get out and do stuff with each of them regularly.

Now take these two testaments (old & new) and call me in the morning.

Thanks, according to Healthsquare, 3 of the meds I'm taking aren't supposed to be taken together.
I think I need to make a phone call, real quick.

Thanks a bunch, appreciate it.
Two of the meds I'm on cause severe tiredness, which explains my wanting to sleep al;l the time.
One of them causes weight gain, like I really need that.
