This is a slightly abbreviated version of what I wrote in Facebook today (in an apparently dormant group called "Heart Attack Awareness"). For the people who read my blog and think that at times that I am too negative (not true, you are missing the point, we can only get things right if we acknowledge where things have gone wrong and change them), this is positive and upbeat. Where heart attack survivors are concerned, we need positive messages sent out.
"in May this year it will be 5 years since I had my heart attack. I take all the medicine that I am recommended to take, I do what my doctor tells me, and I do not eat or drink anything that is not recommended, or only in limited amounts as permitted.
Every check-up in the past few years has been good news and getting better. I am very fit, very healthy, the bypass has done its job, life is almost normal (and where it isn't that is down to the problems with the world economy not my health).
It can be done, we can get there, you can survive a heart attack and a bypass operation and live to tell the tale. And we should advise others to have regular check-ups and have a sensible diet so that they can reduce the risk of ever having heart problems".
