I had open-heart surgery in late March to repair a leaky mitral valve and wasn't sure I'd be 100% yet by June as there are "sternal restrictions" as to pushing, pulling, and lifting. The way I feel now, it probably would have been fine. But I'm still going to cardiac rehab so should be finished with that, as well as being 100%, by late Nov. I'm going to miss my June friends but am looking forward to meeting new people in my Nov/Dec time frame.

Sorry for the thread drift, but I guess you started it in your own thread. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
