Been 4 weeks now, boy doesn’t time fly when your having fun, good progress, I did drink way too much the other night and paid for it big time worst hangover ever!!! 2 weeks till I can get back on the bike. Might try and organise a come back ride somewhere will be no more than grade 3 though!!!

I wanted to share a quick tip one thing out of the hundreds I have learned, if you are male 40ish, carry aspirin with you, wether it be in your car in your drawer at work etc, if you do start having chest pain chew an aspirin ASAP, this can thin your blood just enough to help or at least give you more time to get to the Hospital.. I’m no doctor so take this for what it is and don;t delay medical help, even if you think it is indigestion or heart burn get it seen to..

Cheers
Chris.

Cardiologist Today everything pretty much back to normal 2 more weeks before I can ride but other than that all good, cholesterol down to 3.2 which I find amazing considering it started at 13.5

Cheers
Chris.

Good news Chris and a huge turn around on the cholesterol. What’s your secret for that?

Hey Jeffro I was on 80mg Lipitor which is max dose now down to 40mg. No smokes no soft drinks and no fat has been hard but u get used to it. I’d still kill for a bungler though

Cheers
