This message is for all to think about.

I thought it might just spare a few of you the same experience. I am a private person by nature

but hopefully this personal information will cause others to do the things that will help them avoid

my frightening experience.....

On Sunday, January 25th, I had a heart attack. I had numbness in both arms, from the elbows

down to the finger tips. Not the usual chest pain, etc. I had just gotten over a 10 day bout with

Bronchitis, so, I thought the coughing, etc. was probably the culprit. When the numbness got severe, and throbbing set in, I called my neighbor and said I was going to go to the ER. My neighbor drove me. Good thing, because I would NOT have made it otherwise.

When I got to the ER, it took them about 1 minute to evaluate my condition, and set up a transfer to

Louisville to the Heart Cath Lab, At Norton Hospital. I got there via EMS Ambulance in 1 hour and 15 minutes, and immediately received a "Stent" to the heart, followed by,  another "Stent" placed on Tuesday.

I am telling this, because I want to warn EVERYONE :

Watch your Diet. Exercise regularly. Don't Smoke. ( I don't, but some folks do.)

Every single bed, was taken at Nortons !

Believe me folks: You do NOT want to take your health for granted. The old clock on the wall

will sneak up on you, and ring loud as Hell to get your attention !

Glad you are doing ok now.  That must have been pretty frightening.  And I think 70 is much too young to have heart attacks, but I know someone who had one at age 24!  You never know.

Thank you for the message.

I was wondering if anyone was still using the web site.

Yeah, I'm 72.

The class of 1960, was my original class, but I was out of Waggener for 2 years when my

mother was sick, and I worked at Sunoco in St. Mathews, then went back to Waggener in

the Fall of 1960 and graduated -as you know- in 1962.

Ain't life weird !!!   : )

How are you doing ?

I'm doing well here.  I live in Colorado.  I still work part time, sort of.  I am a recovery room nurse.  I was back in Louisville in Sept 2013 to bury my mom at Cave Hill.  I would love to get back there this year sometime, maybe in the fall when it is so pretty.  How are you doing now?  Have you mostly recovered?
