I will gladly put up with you for years to come Roger - so glad you are fine. I had a heart attack last week and had a stent put in but thank God I'm ok now - just take everything a bit more slowly and at ease and celebrate every day we get - guess that's what we have to do at our age. Cheers Roger!

[@be6715]

Hope your recovery is going well!

Fantastic to hear you good news on your health, also I think your idea of tea on a nice lawn area sounds lovely and a wonderful way to enjoy the company of your family and friends.

Happy to hear this Roger. Wonderful news. Congratulations on the health news and the weight loss. I’m so happy because I love your videos as they help me tremendously…..I’m going to have a glass of wine to celebrate you and your great news!!😊

[@gloriabischoff13]

I have been worried on YOUR behalf….so this news makes me happy!! Cheers😊

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@wilairat26atoady]

Yes I knew blood thinners where here to stay. If you go out for your look at native orchids just remember to check the surroundings 1st if you can. Let life move on is what I do.

[@squeekee35]

My heart rate is fast when I get up in the morning too. But I don't have AFib. I just have a fast heart rate . I take pills for it

[@wandashaw3551]

I am so happy to hear this wonderful news. I'm looking forward to more great videos from you for at least the next 50 years. I'll be 111 years old then. 🎉🎉Cheers 🍻 to your very good health 👍

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

One-hundred and eleventyth birthday then?

[@YnseSchaap]

I had my pill popping and disco time when I was 20 😁 it was fun (probably not that healthy)

[@susanbossert6833]

[@pemman]

Good to have the good news. 😊

[@lesliebray8114]

Your Dr must be very good at helping lay persons understanding all the medical jargon!!! You exp!aimed it perfectly !!!! All sounds good !!!! I do remember you speaking a few months back about feeling dizzy and lightheaded A few days in a row. That was when many of your subscribers suggested you get a blood pressure cuff. I wonder if that episode was the onset of your atrial fibrillation ????? Ps.... I can see that you have dropped A few pounds !!!! Congratulations !!!!

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

He even drew a diagram.

[@danielm.1441]

I'm 38 and a birthday cream tea sounds lovely to be quite honest.
I'm really glad your heart problems are comparatively minor. :)

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

thanks.

[@FenellaMtutu-qh4hj]

We don’t mind putting up with you. Good news, however, it may be worth keeping up with you dietary changes.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

There are two issues to deal with - the AF which the tablets deal with and my high blood-pressure. The weight-loss will help both along with the dietary changes.

[@TrudyDintzner]

Congratulations on your good news! A big relief I'm sure. And, of course, Cheers!!

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@louisaleroux5610]

Good on you Roger.!!! As soon as you said the car park ticket machine was out of order and parking would be free today, I just knew that the rest of the news would be positive as well. 😄 Good often news comes in multiples. I'm happy for you.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@carolesykes7955]

I'm glad it's all good news 👌 but it's not an excuse for ignoring your plans for losing weight and reducing your alcohol intake. Having equal small measures through the week is much better for you than drinking 2 bottles of wine in 2 days. You need to ask the doctor what exercise is ok because no exercise is definitely not. Go for a regular nice walk through that park you found or off to find butterflies. No excuses just because you can't be bothered 😊

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

I have one bottle over the two day weekend. This one was a celebration so an exception. And I have a target for the weight loss so yes, it will continue.

[@victorb145]

Oh good, I'm glad everything came out better than expected. Your furry little beastieis looking good too for his age. I see he's getting older, but your channel is getting older. It didn't happen overnight.

Good to hear that you’ll still be plodding on! You do look slimmer, around the middle. I’m nearly 70 & weight goes on around the middle as well. Keep well!

That really is great news, greatly appreciated your sharing of this, and as always, your clear explanations are a great help in understanding a-fib or orchids!!

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@donnaorton9547]

Cheers Roger! I could tell by the tone of your voice from the beginning that it was good news! Just take it a bit easier from now on. Remember we are not spring chickens any more.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Just an old rooster I guess.

[@cherylpenn4509]

4 kgs. Well done to you and your weight, which didnt look like an issue really. Glad all is pretty well and the party sounds good. To tell the truth, I prefer lbs. But either way is good.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Soon, I will be able to get back into clothes that have been put away for some time.

[@dianedemario3836]

I'm very happy that you had a good report. I was worried about you! Glad you are fine! 🙂

[@brucestern1025]

Great to hear about your good medical report. And kudos for losing some weight, but please continue with that weight loss. It can do you no harm, and might prove beneficial in the long run. Congrats!

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Lees to 'carry around' means less work for the heart.

[@brucestern1025]

Absolutely correct!!!!!

[@paulhoffman6294]

Roger, just out of curiosity, what blood thinner are you taking?

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

5mg of apixaban twice a day. (every 12 hours).

[@dianeandorchidsatvictorharbor]

​​@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai Did your doc give you a list of the foods you need to keep a limit on when you are on blood thinners? I remember one item my Mum had to be careful with was grapefruit, she took Warfarin. I think each type of thinners has different foods to be careful about.
