I have not ever been healthy since the bypass surgery I received in January 07. Prior to the procedure, I was walking briskly four miles, five times a week, and riding a bicycle around hilly Chardon, Ohio. Living here, of course I was shoveling snow, and raking snow off of my roof too. Now the smallest hill is now an obstacle, I have to push against an invisible wall.

I cannot now wheel my disabled mother, around a small walking path in a park by her home. One month before 1/07, I was able to do it easily. It seems that I put myself through the risk and trauma of open heart surgery, to be made into a decrepit old man. I need your help in minimizing the damage, and in avoiding making things worse. Who could I work with in the Cleveland area?

Thanks.

Robert Rose.
