Yeah, that sounds funky. But if the basics are right that's pretty interesting. I could add aspirin to the long list of things that do, or may get some credit for my improvement so far. Doc said the ASA was just heart protective and since my heart has been tested in the lab and in the field I've been slacking off on the daily ASA thinking it wasn't so important. Back on the wagon!
