Health is a gift

Quote:I guess next time you and Cheryl come to the quilt show we may have to find a different place to eat instead of Pizza By the Pound.

Maybe they'll open a new place called "Pizza by the 1/4 Pound."

Steve, that's certainly a scary scenario. My father died in 1969 at the age of 39, although there is a question as to whether his death was related to his heart (he had rheumatic fever as a boy) or if he had an aneurysm burst. His mother died at 45 of a heart attack. He came home at noon for lunch and told my mother he had a horrible headache. She tried to get him to stay home, but he wouldn't do it. When he went back to work (he was a mechanic at a farm implement dealership), he was climbing on a tractor and fell off, dead before he hit the ground. My mother requested an autopsy, but the report was lost. His death certificate lists a myocardial infarction, which is the fancy medical term for a heart attack, but a friend of mine who is a neurosurgeon said it sounded more like an aneurysm to him, given Dad's headache.

Here's to good health for us all!

Best
