I'd prioritise getting your leg-over first, and then work on the cycling ....
Any survivors on here, cardiac arrest, heart attack, cancer....

Thought I'd check into this thread as it has been quiet for a while and ask, How is everyone doing?
Me, still on the bike doing between 15 and 50 miles a week, nothing mad but it does tremendous benefit mentally getting out there and pushing the pedals round in the open air.
The heart medication seems to be doing its job as I've had nothing recorded by the ICD (Implanted Cardioverter Defibrillator) for some time. The dizzies back in Nov have passed and were put down to just being one of those things.
I'm also due to get my driving licence back soon after a long ten months without it.
How is everyone else doing?

I am doing well. I have had 3 different scans done recently and got the last of the results yesterday. The doctors are relatively pleased with what they saw, and that pleases me!
I am feeling better and better as each month passes. It is nearly 3 years since my original illness and 2 since my relapse. I have slimmed to a much healthier size and not lumping about fat equivalent to 120 packs of butter has transformed my cycling and sense of well-being.
So, I just have a couple of remaining issues to sort out (dental and back/core) and then I will be able concentrate on my fitness. I am 60 next January and would like then to be able to say in honesty that I am fitter than at any other time in my life.
Good luck to the rest of you!

Hi Colin,
So glad you are feeling positive about the future.
I'm just about to restart my cycling career after promising the wife I'd have a year off the bike
Er it was supposed to be this week but the weather is wet and windy - ah well, next week will soon be here

Weather is a bit crap so rather than a walk had a slow and measured session on the rowing machine. Felt good.
