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.

Heart Foundation of Australia 'Recognize Your Heart Attack' Campaign - February, 2010
In February, 2010 I was invited by the Heart Foundation of Australia to participate in the launching of their 'Recognize Your Heart Attack' Campaign here on the Gold Coast. The launch and interview took place on the ambulance ramp to the hospital and was covered by the local newspaper and TV station.
It was indeed a privilege and honour to be asked to address those in attendance and to participate in the launch of this important campaign by the Heart Foundation. It was also a very emotional moment for me.
