Michael's Guestbook

Michael Culpepper  Thanks, Paul. Yep, been working on it. Since my last posting in 2014, I retired (mainly to be support for my wife and for my now 93 yr old Dad). We returned from Stuttgart Germany to the Kansas City area. My mitral valve repair was a glowing success. Cardiologists here in the KC area have done sequences of EKGs and echocardiograms -- they tell me all is functioning perfectly and I have a heart that looks like it should be in a 40 year old.

I go to a local fitness center where I work with a personal trainer 3 days per week. I also have my own treadmill and hit it about 6 days per week. My sessions vary, but am currently on an average pace of 10-11 minutes per mile, and usually do 3-5 miles per session. I just can't let myself vegitate. Gotta stay active.

Michael Culpepper  Best wishes. My caregivers were WIZARDS. Sincerely hope you have similar results. I am up to 5 mile walks at sub-16 minute per mile pace.

Let us know how you are doing.
