Today my oldest brother had a heart cath. He was having chest pains at work on Monday. He had a stint installed in an artery behind his heart.
My Dad had his first heart attack at 18 (1953) and they didn't know it at the time. He had another in his early thirties and another at 41. His last actual attack was at age 55 and they did a quadruple by-pass. Since then he's had numerous stints and has a pacemaker/defib installed; he's currently coming up on his 78th birthday. He took care of himself after his attack at 41. We tease him about being the energizer bunny.
Medicine improves each day but we have to help by trying to do what is best for our health.
I so hope and pray my brother has that same dedication to taking care of himself.
About Me
- Dolly
- Just my thoughts on what ever pops up. The kids are more or less on their own pursuing various degrees. My hubby does take a bit more of my time But that's as it should be. We have 3 dogs and they are my daily company. In my spare time I love to cook. I'm retired from the U. S. Air Force and am enjoying playing homemaker. (I take my hat off to the real homemakers) You'll probably get a mixed bag from my blog so be prepared for whatever may pop up in the conversation. Family is my touchstone.
