Default Good as I (N)ever was!

Went back to the heart surgeon at Ohio State yesterday, and he removed all restrictions. Can go back to running, hunting, etc. I shocked even him with how well I was doing. He said he rarely sees anyone bounce back as quick as I did. To celibrate, I went on a little 2 mile run after I got home, and felt great and Kenny Graft and I are getting together for a little preserve pheasant hunt in the next couple of weeks. He said I could go back to work, uh, I did that 3 weeks ago.
It wasnt a fun experiance, having mitral valve repair, but things could have been much worse.
Watch out, I'M BACK!!

If you want to really test it, pull up that CH with Bernard barrels that Barnett just put on Guns International. It will test your heart and your pocket book but a great gun. Congratulations on your recovery!
