so unfortunately, i have another anniversary to remember at this time of the year.

no one died but on the 30th my father-in-law had a mild heart attack.

he is fine, actually doing really well. he was sent to calgary on the plane to receive more expert cardiology care and is already out of ICU.
there was no damage to his heart which is in part to the excellent care that he received here.

it was honestly just such a shock to us all as he is probably the last person we would have expected this to happen to.

he and my mil walk everyday, x-country ski in the winter, eat amazingly well, don't smoke (ever) and rarely drinks. is not the least bit overweight and is only 60.

it just shows you to never take anything for granted.

or in his own words.....enough of this healthy stuff, i'm living it up now :)

think i'll stick to his new theory :o)

I had an uncle who was the health freak of the family. He exercised and ate right and then one day he had a pain in his stomach and went to the doctor. Turns out he had cancer and it was soo advanced he never left the hospital.
Sorry if that was a downer post, but my point is...to live life like its your last day, because you NEVER know.
