Friday night I and my famly answered the question of whether or not genetics plays the strongest factor in predicting heart attacks.
It does.
Growing up in the 50's in NYC, we ate meat 7 days a week, and had chicken once (friday nights, and the skin was the best part, this course was alwas preceeded by chopped chicken livers with onions cooked in chicken fat), and once a week my mother tried to force us to eat calf's liver since the thinking at the time was that this had all the 'good stuff'. My father, grandfather, and uncle all grew up eating this way. They all smoked 2+ packs of ciagrettes a day.
They all died of heart attacks...my father at 48.

Sorry to hear that, Epa. Hope it wasn't IBA that started the attack.
ReplyDeleteSo, what happens from here? Are you going to have a bypass, or what?
Epa, I missed you. Had no clue. Your wit and intellect is keenly sought on my site.

ReplyDeletePIMF hear!
no bypass, it was over in 2 hours.
ReplyDelete3 stents. From the time they put an ECG on my chest until I was in the cath lab was less than 30 minutes. I hit the E-room at 10, and by 12:30 thy were done. You know the amazing thing, I wasn't scared in the least. Very weird. The pain crowded out all other considerations I guess.
So I am on dial up in the hospital, trying to alert those who must know business wise, and posting just a bit.
I guess I'll be home in a few days, then cardiac rehab.
No atlas...no flanken, no brisket, no schmaltz, no blintzes...but there's no way I am surrendering to to veggie cheese either
We live on a lake..no swimming
Epa,
ReplyDeleteI left a long comment at your site.
The fact that you weren't scared probably saved your life.
Epa--heavens! Best wishes for a strong recovery! I'm just stunned, and I hope you are feeling alright now, or at least a bit better. We'll miss you until you are back on your feet! XOXOXOXOXO!!
ReplyDeleteI wish you a speedy and full recovery.
