Cardiac and vascular disease in my family. My parents were both smokers. Mom was diabetic. I never had any desire to smoke I hated the smell of ashtrays.

. I was diagnosed with heart disease from my rheumatic fever when I was 27 and became determined to take the cardiologist's advice when I saw him. Watch my diet, watch my weight and stay active.
Thanks,
@trumpeting_angel. I am feeling a little on the crappy side of okay. Slept some this afternoon. Still having chills at times and muscle pain but hopefully I'm over the worse of it. I told DH the way you can tell how sick I am, is to put on an episode of Star Trek and if I fall asleep in the middle of it, it's time to worry.
