Wow! Time flies. It does not seem like it, but it was 2 years ago tonight that I had the heart attack. A lot has changed in those 2 years. My screen name for one. And I took some time off from posting.

During the rehab period, I did have 2 TIA events. They are kinda like a baby stroke. All I lost was the feeling in my hands so it ain't so bad. It took almost a year to get to where I could walk 7 miles a day and return to work.

The down side is I went on disability in August of this year due to Rheumatoid arthritis. I still don't smoke or drink, and I still try and excersise as I am able. Some days are better than others.

One thing that has not changed is my knowing that life is a wonderful gift. Each day I wake up and thank God that I did wake up. I know the day will come when I wake up dead, and I will be able to thank God in person for the GREAT Life He has given me.
