August 9, 2003 is a day that will
never be forgotten in my life.
It was on that day when I suffered a
heart attack and didn't know
it while on family vacation in
I realized something wasn't right
that day, I traveled across
country to my home, and continued
life as usual with yard work
and live call-in cable TV talkshow
during the following days
until I had a scheduled annual
physical and EKG raised red flags.
I am indebted to Dr. Copen, Dr.
Yacono and
and initial support of my ongoing
medical sports program. I am
involved in an innovative project
supporting research that
wrestling is the best cardiovascular
exercise. Weightlifting
and wrestling instruction by best in
sports arena helps
me to improve my heart and daily
living 100%.
As a avid supporter of
Center, I am pleased the state has
authorized improved
heart treatment programming
there. Although I am on a road to
speedy recovery, one never knows
when one needs immediate
assistance from nearby
hospital.
While August 9, 2003 was a yellow
warning in my life, it
now puts me at the helm of my life
to determine what is
in best interest of me. Dr.
Copen gave me the zeal and
zest to vigorously workout from day
one in this new world
of living, which I am now doing with
great people like a Polish
champion wrestler, high school
accomplished weightlifter,
among others sports professionals.
And, that I have resumed
normal living as a teacher, cable TV
Talkshow host, wrestler
and live as long as I originally
thought I would
like my grandfather of 95.
It's a fact of life and God
driven too I might
add.
