Living with Heart
On the night of May 24-25, 2008, everything changed. My husband experienced a serious heart attack, underwent a catheterization and placement of stents, and spent the better part of a week in hospital.
Time has been divided into Before and Since.
After 41 years of marriage, we are in this together.
We are learning to evaluate and change our stress level, our exercise (or lack thereof) program, and our diet.
This blog is about the last part -- learning to eat for a healthy heart.
