His face was completely white and eyes rolled back in his head - we called 911 and they had to life-flight him to Atlanta's St. Josephs. He had blood clots that got loose and formed a complete blockage in his right artery, so they did angioplasty (spell ?) and put in 3 stents. He is finally home as of Thursday and looks so much better. He is only 55 years old and was not his diet that caused this. The doctor said that he had too much stress at his job and then worked too hard on home projects after work, sometimes not stopping to rest until 12:30 at night. He had also stopped taking his medication for high blood pressure, which I was not aware of. He thought he was fine and didn't need it anymore! I tell you what - I never want to have to go through this all again. I have missed you all a lot and glad that I can email you all with good news!

I'm glad everything is better now. Men I bet you wanted to shake some sense into him. I sure now he will be more careful and take his medication like he is suppose to. Where in GA do you live? I'm in Snellville.
Again I'm glad he is doing much better now and I know you need some much needed rest. So take care of yourself as well.
