November 2010 was a scary time for my family.  My father had a massive heart attack which was caused by three blocked arteries, two of which were 100% blocked.  Two stents were placed into his arteries.  The doctors were amazed he survived.  I attribute this to my father not being a smoker or heavy drinker.  […]
