When Friends Get Sick…
June 11th, 2009
Talk about a wake up call!
A good friend of mine just suffered a heart attack. He’s only 51 years old. He was lucky, there was no damage to his heart muscle. But he has one artery that’s 100% clogged, another that’s 50% and a third that is 80%.
I never considered this friend to be unhealthy. Yes, he smoked, but he recently got on a diet, lost a few pounds and joined a gym.
It’s funny how this has hit my close knit group of friends. Two of them are now working to kick the habit. Others are watching what we eat and working out more often.
We hear everyday what we need to do to prevent this, but we never seem to listen until it hits close to home.
