I am somewhat hopeful after my own #heartattack last year. A STEMI.

I felt pretty good. Just out of breath. Everyone told me to get a triple bypass. Second opinions. Saw the angio video. And I still feel fine, though on medications.

So to me this is a bit of confirmation bias.

@Steve I was pretty ok then too. 🤣

I mean, the cardiologists have differing opinions. Their goal is for me to live longer.

My goal is to live better.

So I am tracking the best fit I can get at the intersection.

I am due for my biannual scolding soon. 🤣
