I had two heart attacks in 2003, one on the treadmill at the cardiologist’s office. Triple bypass followed. Six weeks later, I was cleared to “Go back to work”.

“Chopping wood and digging ditches and everything?”, I asked?

“Chopping wood and digging ditches and everything!” was the heart surgeon’s reply.

In the past nine years, I have dug wells in the Sahel in 113 degree heat, among other types of “work”. (Full disclosure: I’m kinda useless lately, though)

“Heart trouble” does not necessarily mean that you are about to drop dead.
