Thanks again for the kind responses. So far, all is going well, I feel good, have been watching my diet, started an exercise program (monitored at a local hospital rehab facility), greatly reduced my smoking (should be stopped completely soon) and, I take all my pills regularly. I have already lost 5 lbs and my cholesterol (combined) is only 133. So, keep your fingers crossed and I will be back in the Czech Republic having one of those great beers soon.
Yea Glenn, it had occurred to me that I wasn't seeing posts from you on the board. Well, that explains it. Good luck with the recovery and lifestyle change. hmmmmn=lesson for me there somewhere.
