Four weeks ago today, I had a triple by-pass operation that saved my life. I am a husband, a father of 3 boys and a grandfather to one 7 yr old boy and 2 2yr old girls. I had stopped smoking years ago, but started back with a vengeance, I guess this was the beginning of my problems. I am also overweight by 150 lbs which doesn't help. High blood pressure runs in the family, I figured I probably had it, but my cardiologist confirmed my hypertension and my 3 clogged arteries. It also turns out that I have diabetes and had to start insulin treatment. I am taking one day at a time, one good thing about all this is that my 3 sons have also quit smoking on the day of my surgery.
