Wow Gino, sorry to hear that. I am glad you were concerned enough to go to the hospital rather than just think it was a bad asthma attack!
We all wish you speedy treatment and a quick recovery. I didn't see what hospital you are in, where are you?
When you are ready to exercise, I teach Spinning at the wellness center of Broward General Hospital, and they have a great rehab department. Give me a call if you need anything.
All the best, Mindi and the crew

Re: I heard it gets rough over 40 didn't expect this!
First I want to thank everyone for the good wishes and words of encouragement. After a bunch of tests it turns out my heart is pumping at 19% which is better then 10% which I was initially told. Tomorrow I get transfered to another hospital for a angeogram. Thursday they will be installing a defibrillator in my chest, which is kind of like carrying a battery jumper box on your boat. If the heart starts to fail it jump starts it. The good news, The doctor said with another week of rest after this I will be able to do what ever I want and THANK GOD, this won't interfere with boating or anything else! I feel very lucky to have caught this in time. I highly recommend getting yourself checked, I never thought this would happen at 40!!!!
I will miss all of you in Sarasota, but will see you in Fort Myers!!!

Gino,
That's GREAT News! I too have been checked out, a couple of years ago, and everything checked out well, except for my anger management problem!
