But after becoming one of the world's first heart patients to get an infusion of cardiac stem cells, Jones said he works out on a treadmill and bike and feels invigorated. 'I hope to have as normal a life as anyone,' 'the self-employed painting and remodeling contractor said at a news conference Friday. 'I might even start jogging again.'
