When I was 38 years old I started feeling very tired all the time and climbing stairs was almost imposible. My heart would start pounding wildly and panic would set in. For a long time the doctors said it was my nerves and I needed to lose fifteen pounds or so. I knew something wasn't right so I finnaly convinced my family doctor to send me to a cardiologist. That's when I found out I needed a tiple bypass. I had problems and stents had to be implaced. Two months latter my husband got a check up and found he also needed a bypass. Again two months latter his place of employment shut down after eighteen years and moved to Brazil. We went through alot but exercised and got strong. Doctors told me I might not have but two years or so. It's been five years and I'm working everyday, walking the beach and loving my husband more everyday.
