Jerry,
Sounds like your Doc feels you are going to do well. Good for you. I spent overnight in the ER last night due to some real severe chest pain. Make a long story short, stayed overnight, was blood tested last night and this AM along with a stress EKG after. Blood work came back good and was about half through the stress test when the guy tells me it was for certain not a heart attack. He asks if I work out (no) because he can't get my heart rate up in the 7 minutes. He increases load, run it 8 1/2 minutes and then gives thumbs up when I hit the # they want for age 65. In the end I was able to get the # for 55 and I was certainly not at my best.
Best of luck Jerry!
