Good luck to you too Ron T. Your experience is appreciated - it's always worth reminding yourself to life as full as possible and limit the time worrying about the things that may never happen.

Best wishes Nate

Oh, thank you for your post. What an encouragement to us all. Best wishes and hope you keep well for many years to come. Can you, please, do a general blog on what medication you are taking? Thank you.

Lisinopril, digoxin, and warfarin, are the tablets prescribed by my doctor, he must think they are best for me And they seem to be working, But maybe not ideal for you every one can be different best stick to the docs, advice , best talk to him /her ,about what is best if he is any thing like my doctor he’s on your side

Good luck and good health
