Doc told me yrs ago I have blockage in my artery so here we are an have lost 45percent of my heart use. Also he said I have lots of head,body trauma. Doc said I had a heart attack some time back an didnt know it. Have felt bad for awhile now but thought I was getting old,lol. This is not fatal as its between my Pancreas,Colon,neck. A big TY to all of u but I look at it as getting a tube up,overhaul,tires rotated,oil change,etc.all in one lol. Remember LIFE is a BATTLE and I’m in it to win it so dont hesitate in trying to be tough by putting off getting checked out in this day an age u never know?? GOD BLESS EVERYBODY..”
