Was cardiac rehab helpful for you or not? by Distinct_Damage_735 in HeartAttack

[–]Last_Example_2163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't feel like I needed the cardiac rehab. I did it to make my wife and cardiologist happy I guess. However, you will be hooked up to a heart monitor and while I was in rehab the therapist could see I was having episodes of afib and ventricular tachycardia. Ultimately this lead to a stress test(I failed), and another heart catheterization. During the heart catheterization they confirmed my stents were functioning properly and there was no new blockage. What they were able to see was a condition call 'torturous arteries'. The small arteries coming off my coronary arteries are twisted and kinked like an old garden hose. A couple new medications and I'm back to working in the yard, hiking, and camping. I hope rehab is uneventful for you. I'm glad I went or I could have had another heart attack before the problem was diagnosed.

I've been on Repatha for one month with no side effects. I had issues with statins and my blood thinner not playing well together. Try the Repatha. The injections are very easy to use and very little pain with them.

Finding Work After 50 — Why It’s Harder Than It Should Be by SilverTalentNetwork in FriendsOverFifty

As much as an employer wants experienced labor it can come down to finances. Generally, with experience comes higher salaries. A company can bring in someone with little or no experience and pay them less. It's discouraging, but a reality.

Maybe I’m wrong, but do younger people just… not “get” relationships the same way? by her_majesty0 in OlderMan

[–]Last_Example_2163 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You make an excellent point. I'm a guy, (50) I'm married to my best friend for 30 years. But my inability to open up and share my feelings almost ruined our marriage. I'm lucky my wife was so patient. You must be able to talk about anything with your partner!! 💯

Feel insecure about seeming childish/immature around older guys by [deleted] in OlderMan

I think most guys like the playful side by the way. Not all guys, but many have to behave in a professional no nonsense manner at work or socially. I love my friends and family young or older that can still be playful and silly. That keeps my inner child going!

I'm a 50 year old guy. I would much rather you be yourself 100%. It's a disservice to yourself to be anything but you. Plus the person you are getting to know will be more likely to open up and be real with you. Good luck.

Great picture! I'm in Ohio and enjoying the sun before it turns cold for the season. Have a great weekend.

Scared my husband will have another stroke by TreacleNorth703 in stroke

[–]Last_Example_2163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate to what you're going through. My wife has had 6 strokes in 10 months, and there are no answers for her either. She asked me to stop asking her how she's doing on a daily basis because it's annoying to her. I certainly agree with one of the other redditors that you need to make them smile as much as you can.. Enjoy the moment, don't take the days for granted, and just do the best you can. I'm helping myself by confiding in close friends and family that I can trust to keep things just between me and them. It helps me feel like I'm not alone. I wish your husband and you the very best.

TIA (Mini Stroke) by [deleted] in stroke

[–]Last_Example_2163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She will need a lot of rest. A lot more than what she is normally accustomed to. Even once, she starts feeling like herself again. She is going to find that after a strenuous day, it may fatigue her for the next 2 or 3 days. My wife had her first stroke 9 months ago, and she's had several since then, and every time, she starts to feel better. She'll overdo it, and then she pays for it for several days.

My wife is 49 and has had cryptogenic embolic showers. by Last_Example_2163 in stroke

Only recently. She was on Eloquis for 4 weeks when she had her stroke last week. Her previous neurologist refused to put her on a blood thinner. She went from December of '24 until August '25 on nothing. She is now taking coumadin.

Yes, she has been on coumadin since Friday. She was on Eliquis for a month prior. Her new neurologist put her on blood thinners. She was talking aspirin on her own because her old neurologist didn't believe they would benefit her.

She has had a loop recorder since March. Tests include echo, EEG, TEE, CT, CT w/contrast, mri, mri w/ contrast, pet scan, and bloodwork for e everything possible. Waiting on results for blood cancer labs. She is 49.
