It's been 8 years since I last posted here on DU.
At that time I was posting in a shared library computer while living in a homeless shelter.
Life had pretty well kicked me to the curb.
I decided to fight back. I got a job, a place to live, a car and moved back to TN from PA.
I then moved to AL. In AL, I got kicked again. I had a massive heart attack and a stroke. I spent 6 more months in the hospital recovering, then 4 years rehabbing. I still have some minor problems, but nothing I cannot overcome. It'll take more than that to keep me down.
I'm home now.
Hammies!

Best wishes. Been lucky myself in the cardio area, even though I'm no gym rat.

You're the apotheosis of the DU-er: going through Hell and coming out stronger than ever...
