    Default One month update

    Well its been a month since I was first in the hospital...I've had alot of time to think..and recover...I have been only training 2-4 people a day (normal is 6-9) If I did anymore than that I would be wiped out..It takes alot out of me...Just standing at times, takes alot out of me...But overall I have felt better now, than in a long time...I mean health wise, I feel pretty decent...Yes, im tired and get drained pretty fast...but overall im feeling a tad stronger each day...Today I did a solid 30 mins of walking outside, and it felt good..I felt stronger today, and less winded than normal...My resting heart rate has been around 70-80 bpm..and my B.P. has been lower around 130ish over 80-85ish, these past couple weeks...I got my first check up tommarow, with my heart doctor...Im excited to see what is going on...Then next week, I got my HRT doctor appt. for my second visit...I have been off of everything for about 5 weeks now...and its starting to effect me (libido, muscle starting to go flat) I havnt trained at all, but its been a nice break...I mean I have been to my girls softball/T-ball practice, been out walking with Sarah...We have gone out on dates, and ate whatever we wanted...Its been nice not to think about training or what im going to eat...I have been thinking about when I get the green light to train, just to do my HRT, and get my bodyweight down to around 200lbs or so...and just be super lean and athletic again...But, the otherside of me whats to come back and compete again...(sorry its just in me...LOL) I know that's not going to happen... but part of me whats to atleast look like I could compete again...and be a hard, super lean 230-235lbs (like how I looked 3 weeks out from Nats) ...But those are just thoughts when im day dreaming...

    Anyway, just wanted to update you guys on what is going on...

    Good to hear that you are doing much better Chris. I am sorry to learn of your health issues. I am glad to see that you are approaching them in a responsible manner. I don't think competing again is out of the question, I just think the approach has to be adapted and changed that's all. I know that you can accomplish it and support you 100% in your decisions, whatever they may be.
    Take care and be well,
    Matt Cena

    Glad to hear you are doing good. A 200 pound hard strong athletic build is pretty good too man.
    Good Luck!

    How long do you guesstimate that you were walking around with undiagnosed HBP?

    Dim didn't have a heart attack. He had a ruptured aorta.
