Your on the right track, rehab is an important program, you exercise, they monitor you, build up your cardio, in a safe environment so you know that the surgery was a success and now you can get back to doing everything without concern.

I've been taking 325 mg aspirin for 23 years, and four years ago i completed all 7 stages of the stress test. I spend 75 minutes each morning on the tread mill, light wts every other day.

The key is consistency and gradual increase in time or distance until you reach a reasonable workout, for me its 75 min on the tread mill and hope i have a good show, boxing or something else that takes my mind off of being on a tread mill.

Outside walking, jogging (if your joints can take it), swimming are all good.

I'm 72.

Best of luck.

 

I've been on blood thinners since 2006 for AFIB. I started with coumadin then Prodaxa and now Eliquis. I don't notice any additional bleeding from cuts than I did before taking the meds. My doctor said the most important body part to protect is my head. I live in a helmet state so that isn't a worry but I still ride without a helmet when I go to Daytona Bike Week.

You can't live your life in a glass bubble.

 

 

Well I respect the heck out of that. Not bad

Massive MI in Aug. 2012 Left Arterial Descending also known as (The Widow Maker) 95% don't live, I'm a 5%er, 1 stent. Skip forward to April 2016, another MI in the Right Arterial Descending and Circumflex, 1 stent in Right, 2 stents in Circumflex, so I have a total of 4 stents.
I take Plavix 3 times a week and an 81 mg coated aspirin every day, I still ride and am not going to stop, I have always been what they call a "Free Bleeder" a minor cut and it looks like a bloodbath, but I carry a First Aid kit and Wound Sealer.
You have to decide what is best for you, but I'm not going to let blood thinners stop me from something I enjoy doing!

 

Your choice if you want to look out the window to life passing by or get out on the road and lead the charge.

My choice at 77 with two heart attacks, nerve damage, no balance and many other issuers is to head out and go toward the horizon. I may make it or I may not. I live for today and not tomorrow.

 

You could just as easily fall in the bathtub!

So the question is; do you want to be washing off road dust from a ride or Cheetle dust after the Pawn Stars marathon?

 

Triple bypass last August. On blood thinners. Back on the bike 10 weeks later. Can’t worry about it anymore than negotiating 5 lanes of traffic during rush hour. **** it for better or worse.

 

With all the great advice you are getting means nothing if you have not provided all the information. The one advice you are leaving out is: Your future in riding is all up to your significant other, not you, not your doctor, and not this forum.
