…because it was a heart attack. On Thursday, January 12, 2012, I went home to take care of my dogs and then get ready to go to dinner with my friend Amy. Everything seemed fine when I walked in the door. As I walked through the house to take care of my pooches and kittens […]

I went to my physical last Friday. Guess what? High blood pressure and they suspect that I have poor cholestoral readings. And I could lose a few pounds.
