"Oh heart, calm down."
- Barry Alpert
I suffered a heart attack last Friday while
at work. A co-worker drove me to the Kino
Hospital Emergency Room two blocks from the
shop about 2pm. Around 11:30pm I was transferred
by ambulance to University Medical Center. Saturday
a cardiac catheterization was performed and a single
arterial blockage (70%) discovered. The only
problem is the blockage is at the junction of a trifurcation,
putting in a stint to expand the center artery would close
the other two branches. The decision was made to treat me
with medication (blood thinners and blood pressure
reducers). A radical change in diet and lifestyle is in effect. Better
to live another way then not at all. I was discharged Sunday after-
noon and have spent the last few days at my daughter's. I'm back
in my own home now that we're pretty sure things are leveling
off for me. The Creosotebushs' vital oils, a scent the rain releases
