A river rat story
I'm 53, been overweight most of my adult life and want to get it off because of a heart attack at 45. I did not know I'd had a heart attack. I went for pre-operative testing for carpal tunnel surgery and they insisted on a cardiologist's ok first because my ekg showed a heart attack.

The cardio verified it and I've been drastically changing my diet-I was a total crucible and soy addict but no more after finding out how bad they are if you are hypothyroid. I had had NO signs I'd had a heart problem. No pain, no flu symptoms....only fatigue but I was doing a construction project and thought that was the reason for the fatigue. So get checked! If your cholesterol/triglycerides is high do something about it! Never be afraid to go read and learn about anything in your life! Be proactive in your healthcare!!!

I've tried sky diving, singing in a band, drove demo derby, building my own kitchen cabinets, decorated wedding cakes, drove across country with my kids in a moving van dragging my car behind it, belly dance student, soaper, and any craftwork probably than you can think of including some you haven't like china painting......
