I just had an angioplasty last Thursday. I now have a stent in my coronary artery. The nurses said, “but he is such a young man”. I am only about 10 pounds overweight, but a life long eating whatever I wanted finally caught up with me.

All this talk about ethnic, cholestrol be dammned restaurant food now makes me cringe. I now have to be more selective in my food choices.

My “minor” heart attack happened while I was in Las Vegas. I was staying in hotel room #1107 (very lucky) and after I left the hospital I decided to sit down at the blackjack table for an hour or so. I won a couple hundred bucks and then went to my hotel room to sleep and ponder the stent that I now had in my coronary artery.

The bottom line-eat heart smart.

I never thought that “it would happen to me”, but it did.
