So good to see you posting. Thanks for the advice about the aspirin. Where's the wedding and does your dress match the shiner?

About that Prempro---four days before my attack, I had read the new info re prempro, and quit using it!!! What do you suppose that proves? Hmm.. strange. I haven't stopped taking it, my doctor isn't convinced about the results of that study because it was stopped before it was completed. THere was a slight increase in certain types of cancer and heart disease, but I'm not really that concerned about it after taking it for ten years.

What a great accounting of your experience. I'm sure we all learned from your experience.
Regarding the Prempro, I remember seeing/hearing a few doctors on the days following the announcement about the study saying that they should definitely NOT discontinued cold turkey. Did your doctors say anything about that? I wonder if that might have been a factor in your heart attack?
At any rate, it's great to see you back. And you can bet I'll keep some aspirin with me at all times. Thanks!
