Sharing Knowledge

One of the things that I will be doing in this blog is sharing knowledge. Being a member of a number of support groups on Facebook and elsewhere means I am constantly seeing different topics being raised regarding cardiovascular disease, recovery after a heart attack and diabetes.

Intentionally, I will be 'pinching' some of these topics from time to time and posting them here with additional information which hopefully will be of use to others out there dealing with that issue. It is fair to say that most of these topics will be close to my heart - no pun intended - given that I have heart issues, have had a heart attack requiring stents and bypass surgery and am a Type 2 Diabetic.

I will also post about breast cancer from the perspective of a husband watching and helping his wife deal with this from the initial diagnosis of being told in early 2013 she has stage 3 breast cancer to having a lumpectomy and finding out she has a triple negative form of breast cancer to having radiotherapy and then over a year later finding out she has the BRCA1 gene mutation and then soon after having an oophorectomy and double/bilateral mastectomy.

This blog, by intention, will be about me and issues I have and continue to deal with following my heart attack and health issues.

Fellow diabetics will be fully aware of the UPS and DOWNS of the HIGHS and LOWS that confront us on a day to day basis.
