heart atttack

Papa’s World – Looking back – pictures!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

This is the day I came home from the hospital-

After having open heart surgery-

FOUR BY-PASSES!

I never went to the step-down unit-

Instead, five hours after the surgery was done –

I was standing up.

I went directly to the room where I would be discharged.

The surgery was at 10 am. Monday-

This picture was taken at 1pm. on Wednesday.

They wanted to do a study on me as I was the healthiest patient they had for bypasses-

But I said no!

The next day, I started walking inside-

Up and down the stairs and around every room for 30 minutes at a time.

I had a HEART PILLOW I clutched to my chest.

After a couple of weeks, I walked outside.

My journey to better health began ten years prior.

I am convinced that had I not started my routine-

I would not have survived the heart attack!

I had given up SODA’S – FAST FOOD – MILK!

I cut way back on beer.

We had started walking.

And yes, I took meds.

But for ten years, I slowly began changing my body by ingesting JUICE PLUS!

The capsules have been studied and proven to contain the nutrients of 30 fruits and vegetables-

They are absorbed into the bloodstream after they dissolve.

Every four to six months –

I get tested –

This surgery was at the end of 2013!

Today – still on meds-

My stats are:

Cholesterol- 99

Triglycerides- 57

HDL- 32 ( working on this)

LDL- 54

VLDL Cholesterol calc- 13

AIC- 6.7 ( working on this)

My journey will be for the rest of my life.

Here I am over 12 years later-

I am 76 years old here.

I will continue as I have for the last twenty-plus years –

Taking this supplement.

I will not go back to the things I gave up.

I will be tested every four to six months by my doctors.

To go over twelve years

And still the results of my stats are the same as when I had my first test-

After my surgery-

Proves to me I am on the right path.

I may be an exception –

BUT I BELIEVE!

Last year, we both turned 75 years old.

If this interests you-

Sherry has been a partner all these years since we first started!

She has her own website with her email and phone number.

This is my own story.

This is me!

Good day, friends!

In 2013, I had a major heart attack –

Called a “WIDOW MAKER”!

In fact, that day I should have died!

So, I can attest that every day since –

“IT IS A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE!

My wife, Sherry, has guided me all these past years.

She is a Certified Health Coach.

I have changed my diet –

Quit fast food –

I do not drink sodas or milk.

I have one cup of coffee each morning-

I drink mostly water.

I really do not like alcohol or wine.

On occasion,

I will have a beer or two, but no more than that.

I will have a Complete shake around ten or eleven.

And a snack then.

I will eat dinner around 4 or 5.

And sometimes a light snack around 7.

At 8pm. I will get ready to go to bed.

After four hours,

I woke up after midnight –

Bathroom break,

And then I post my blog to Facebook-

and go back to bed.

I wake up around 5 or 5:30 am.

Shower – shave – brush teeth and get dressed.

I keep a calendar and write down appointments –

Also, Sherry’s as I have become in retirement –

“DRIVING MISS SHERRY”!

We both attend to the flowers, bushes – Tower Garden.

And we like to golf.

Maybe every two or three weeks.

Sometimes it is that good shot that brings me back –

Here, I ended up on the fringe of the green.

For me, that is good! LOL!

Since we live close to two beaches –

We often drive over the causeways and park.

We walk down to the surf line –

Or just sit on a bench and look out over the ocean.

It is a great day to be alive!

Papa’s World – Living life to the plus – one day at a time

/ Tom / Leave a comment

In 2005 – we started our journey – ” LIVING LIFE TO THE PLUS ” !

It was my wife Sherry who first started and and after 3 1/2 months – I finally got it through my thick Irish head that “HEY” something is happening!

Little things – but first where did this all take place ? Well – she said to me – there is a Health Expo at the D.C. Capital One center – and is sponsored by the network NBC for your health . Well – I was game – and into Washington D.C. we went !

Now – with over thousand of vendors – my aim was to go to the stage and concessions – eat and watch the entertainment – and meet up later. Which is exactly what I did. She in turn – found a Healthy eating booth – and bought the product – Fruits – Vegetables and berries in a capsule !

Since she hated vegetables ( since then she has developed a craving for them ) it was a easy fix for what she was not eating ! However – as I was eating my second cheeseburger ( yes – I was that bad ) she asked me if I wanted to try this out ? NOPE – I was fine – I went to have my checkup every six months – I was on MEDS and had no desire !

Long story short – I STARTED TO NOTICE LITTLE THINGS – like her hair was more shiny – her fingernails were growing faster – she was able to read at night in bed without her glasses – and she started eating vegetables ! That was something she hated !

So – I asked her – why are you doing this and what made you try it ? She replied – I needed to make a change and it was there – it clicked plus they had the RESEARCH proving what it did ! ( today there are 36 published papers) Then she said – ” YOU CAN DO THIS WITH ME – OR I WILL DO IT WITHOUT YOU – BUT I WANT YOU IN MY LIFE ” !

That was the day we both started living ” LIFE TO THE PLUS ” ! Almost 14 years now – and – because I was a terrible fast food junkie for 35 years – I paid the price – I had done the damage before I started my new eating lifestyle. In 2013 – I had the WIDOW MAKERS heart attack !

One blockage of 100 % – one at 90 % – one at 79 % and one at 60 % !

All those years – eating bad – BUT – had I not changed – I would not be here- the doctors told me just that – I was the most healthy heart attack person they had ever seen. I had FOUR BY PASSES – and within 52 hours – I was home standing in my living room being nicknamed ” THE RABBIT ” for how fast I recovered by the hospital staff !

Now one of the researches done by the University of Maryland – was on the Berries and how when combined with the fruits and vegetables – helped to keep the arteries open after a high fat meal !

I honestly believe that it was that one thing that kept me alive! I will always believe that – and that is why today we are LOVING LIFE TO THE PLUS !

JUICE PLUS was and is my savior – I believe that – it is my life and my belief. I will continue to take it – and almost 14 years later – I have my wife to thank for it . For without her telling me – ” I WANT YOU IN MY LIFE TOGETHER” and ” I WANT YOU WITH ME ” well – I am still here – this is just a part of my story of living out my dreams.

Thank you all for reading – “PAPA’S WORLD ” is alive – God Bless ! HGD
