Same thing here , had my hart attack on April 4 of this year . Like you ,mine was a mild one . I stayed off the bike for a little bit ,once I got my strength back I was riding every day .
I even went to Sturgis for the first time this year. I put on around 2200 miles on the trip. Had a blast ,cant wait to go again.
Just take care of your self , and you and your grandson will be riding for a long long time together .
Best of luck to you my friend.

I went riding the same day I had my stents put in, even though Dr. said no. Main reason was because a minor accident could result in my bleeding to death since i was on Plavix & Coumadin for a few months after.
You are now gonna be monitored by a cardiologist, so you prolly ARE healthier now, like the one poster said. When you feel up to it--take him around the block, or very local for awhile. Gonna be too cold to ride up there anyway in a couple weeks, if not already.
BTW the DO give you card--mine had bar codes on it & said "Cordis". They fell apart after a couple years.

Interesting. Maybe the stents I have are from another manufacturer? Either way I never received a card.

I say ride as much as possible. That grandson will enjoy every moment. I ride the grandaughter every chance I get. I have taken her for short rides since she was 5 yrs old, she is now 9 and can reach all the footrests.
I have had 3 open hearts surgeries and 10 stents. Thanks to agent orange and a trip to the land of the big PX. No heart attacks. I do most things I want to do, just not as long and as often.
