Doctor’s prescription said I had to walk 1/2 hour a day. I said really? He said you can break it up into 10 minute segments. 🤣

Strolling in the neighborhood but having photography withdrawal symptoms. So I had to take this one.

P.S. I posted through Facebook Business Suite and the top of photo with the moon was cut off. Normal Facebook didn’t it off.

This photo was from last Friday’s hike.

On Friday, 6/26/26, at 6:26 PM CST a random group of people will show up for a hike. I would die to be there, literally!

I was in ICU but am home around a better microbiome!

My resting heart rate (RHR) before this adventure was 52-54 beats per minute. That is like a professional athlete.

I ran up the Diana of the Dunes Dare on Thursday and no problem.

Friday I did 14 miles and saw a beautiful engagement of Connor & Clair’s at Central Beach. No problem.

Saturday I did 20 miles for my MONSTER CHALLENGE with no problem. Only 3 (including me) finished out of 8 starters.

Sunday I did 2 miles very quick. No problem.

Sunday night at 10 PM I was taking a warm to hot Epsom salts bath to relax muscles. Had a problem.

My chest in the middle hurt. No other symptoms. I should have went to ER. I was stupid. I went to bed and woke up and still felt it. I went to ER.

They did an EKG and numbers looked funny. They did a blood test for blood markers. One is called troponin. The high should be 20. A marathon runner after a race could go 100-300.

Mine was a mind blowing 4,368!!! That is near the top for someone to survive.

Everyone of the doctors in my life I have seen said you couldn’t be in better shape (except for my kidneys damaged by a medicine). Keep doing what you are doing. No one knew that an artery was getting clogged 90% by a hereditary condition.

After they installed a cobalt-chromium stent my resting heart rate dropped to 37-40 BPM which proved my heart improved a lot and that I was running on an inefficient heart all that time before.

When a resting heart rate is 37 that is rare like less than a fraction of a percent of people for say an elite endurance racers, professional marathons runners, and Tour de France cyclists. The lower number of times a heart beats translates into EXTREME HEART OUTPUT per beat taking years to develop.

I must have met over these past few days with 17 healthcare professionals. My explanation… hiking daily in the Museum of Nature and Industry, the Indiana Dunes, with the greatest biodiversity density and forest bathing/shinrin-yoku 森林浴.

God is good.

The liver which generates 80% of the cholesterol needed by the body was not working right because of heredity. One artery was 90% blocked. I had a preemptive ECG a couple years ago and there was no problem THEN. So it was not the 20% food in the short amount of time that clogged me up. I got to ER and the hospital in time after chest pain. They cleared it out and put in a stent. I feel fine. I have a better heart than before. I just have to walk 1/2 hour a day. Will be back to hiking soon.

IF YOU HAVE CHEST PAIN GO TO THE ER IMMEDIATELY! IF I had NOT then you would never have gotten a text from me again. 🪦
