Who rows with stents?

Post by solomon » August 17th, 2010, 6:35 pm

Good Evening all!

I have two in my LAD right at the to where it branches off. :o I started rowing a year ago but not really all that hard until I bought my model d back in Feb of this year. I would like to know if there is anyone who would like to start a group to do challenges but the prerequisite is that you must have stents in your heart from heart disease. Sounds gruesome but what the heck they have all these other teams for the team challenges here so I figured I would post and see.

Take Care all

Sorry, I'm a 3X bypasser myself, along with a replacement aorta. Sort of started with a similar problem, but got different treatment. We had a CABG team going for a while quite a few years ago, but only a couple of the members contributed very many meters and it soon folded.

Thanks for the input, I went to the CA site and I will be sure to take advantage of it's resource. On another note I am looking to get at least one person to row with me in the Fall Challenge I made up a team and It would be great to have someone to row with. If anyone fits the limited criteria and wants to do it hit me up and we can get started.
Thanks Again
