I'm still alive.

3 weeks ago I had a life altering experience... I had a heart attack.
It was minor and they didn't even feel a need to put a stint in my artery but it shows how bad my heart is.
It was always rumored that heart disease ran in my father's side of the family. Granddad died from a heart issue (i'm not sure what) and I think my dad had heart problems but that's not how he died so I'm not sure.
What I do know is back in the 1990's I was diagnosed with Cardiomegaly, an enlarged heart. What they didn't explain to me at the time is it's almost impossible to have it at my young age. It wasn't until this heart attack that the doctors told me it's probably a genetic abnormality so thanks again family, our freaking mutant genes screw me again.
Recovery has been normal I guess but I have a cold that just won't go away and it makes me miserable.

John and I now have iPhone 4s' and we love them. Siri is a hoot. I asked her to open the pod bay doors and she told me she couldn't do that. *giggle*.
