My 29 Lives

In July 2007 I had a heart attack with cardiac arrest that required 29 cardioversions/resuscitations and resulted in three stents for a 100% blocked right coronary artery and a triple bypass for blockages on the left side. I HAD NO PAIN OR CLASSIC SYMPTOMS and later found out that this is not uncommon for diabetics. It is this message that I want to promote in this blog plus my recovery process including lifestyle changes and my dealing with denial, depression, anxiety and ongoing health issues.

Some Great Gift Ideas

Once I got over what had happened to me, with dealing with my heart attack and learning how to cope with depression and anxiety and my ongoing health issues I became very concerned and passionate about wanting to spread awareness about Cardiovascular and Heart Disease and Diabetes.

Of principle concern was my wanting to make others aware that diabetics may not necessarily have the classic warning signs when having a heart attack. This is what happened to me and I did not know about this at the time and based on numerous talks I have given to our local cardiac rehab unit since 2008 and elsewhere it became apparent to me that there are many people out there, diabetics and non-diabetics, who are not aware of this.

With this in mind I have created a bunch of items to share this information and to also promote cardiovascular and heart disease awareness. Some of the items are light-hearted in nature as I believe and have found that sometimes the best way for people like me to deal with what we have been through is by using humour.
