Forgot the point of my story was during my PMR and Cardiology visits they scheduled a stress test. I looked up the stress test and they use the Bruce Protocol. So I thought I will just start training for the test by working that into my treadmill routine. I idea is to go to 80% of your maximum heart rate. Your maximum heart rate is 220-your age. Thats how they do the test. I think my number is around 120, I can go 15 min before reaching 120,

Wow...I am so sorry for all you've been through. Unbelievable.
The fact that you feel good now is fantastic and I'm sure exercise is helping.
Are you on a statin or any other med to keep arteries clean?
And, HOW is your wife??
