Life Continues With Wise Words From A Friend

I had someone ask me the other day how I kept going with the health and mental problems I have faced the last few months.

My reply was that others were, and are, facing worse and are still living life.

We must live to the best that is possible for us at the time.

I go back and read this story from someone that faced much and continued on.

These are her words ....

I am sure she watches all of us and cheers us on in our journey.

May her words encourage someone that needs it today.

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
