For those of you who smoke cigs, eat fatty foods, and don't exercise.  I thought I was indestructible.  I have a hard time making it the 25 yards to the mailbox and back.  Cardiologist said I am about 98% blocked now in the left leg.  After about 20 steps, my calf muscle will seize up from no blood, and the pain.  It feels like someone beat the muscle with a ball bat.  Going to the store is a nightmare.  But my wife has a major back injury, so I have to go.

Nothing spells good health like leaving Walmart with tears in your eyes.  Gramps, listen to your wife, and take it easy!

I always leave Walmart with tears in my eyes.  Not sure if they're tears from the mental scarring, or tears of joy I'm leaving.  

In all seriousness, glad you're doing better, Gramps, and hoping you're going to get there as well, TT!
