As some of you know my brother had quadruple bypass surgery Tuesday. He is doing well and if all goes as planned he should get to come home in about a week. Now can anyone tell me what it is with men that makes them put off till the last minute going to the doctor when they are ill. He had been in pain for 4 days BEFORE he went to the hospital and found out he had a heart attack. If it was me I would not have waited more then 1 day at the most. What really made me mad was when my niece told me he had know for 10 years he had blockages and was supposed to get it checked out and did not do it. Tell me what it is with men that compel them to ignore their health till it is too late to fix? Our dad died of a heart attack so we all know heart disease is in this family. Why would he not take it serious when the doc told him he had blockages? Did he think he was invincible or was he afraid to find out the truth?
My family is falling apart health wise. My oldest sister had a small stroke and has some kind of termers. My next sister had pancreatitis. I was in the hospital 2 times in one month with heart related issues. And now my older brother had a heart attack. That only leaves one sibling that has not been in the hospital yet. Or should I say not this time apparently he was in some time back and for a bit was not in too good of shape they aspirated him when they worked on him. I get scared when I think of how bad things could get. The weird thing is for days before my brothers heart attack I my anxiety was over the top and I had a fluttery feeling in my chest the night before he was admitted. The minute the call came in about his heart attack my anxiety dropped out and I am nearly normal well as normal as I get lol now.
Everyone wants to live a long time but no one wants to get old. We can take care of our health and get plenty of exercise but fact is genetics can come and blind side you when you least expect it. So my advice live every day like it is your last because some day it will be. Do not fear what you can not change, but change what you can. And always always tell everyone you love that you love them every day.
