For anything other than nostalgia. But 3.5 months after having a couple of stents inserted into my LAD - I played a full hours 7 a side. It felt ******* amazing.

I bet. I felt the same when I did my first big climb on my bike. I screamed with joy all the way down the decent.

Keep going, let’s not let the stents define us.

I wasn’t great a few weeks back - convinced my Angina was back. The rehab team insisted i should try and play again - gave me a bit of a telling off for not having attempted it yet. Was very edgey about it - but 20 mins in I was flying about like the old days. Such a buzz.

I guess - I’m still shocked / surprised that I’m up and running again. If all keeps going well, I guess that’s a good idea.
