All the rooms are the same size, so that meant that a semi-private room gave you half the space of a private. As David, who is an architect, noted, this was equivalent to the size of a prison cell. I was spending about 12 hours a day at the hospital and had assumed the responsibility of David's non-medical care - changing his sheets several times a day when he sweat through them, staking out the least threadbare patient gowns on the laundry cart, scrubbing his bathroom, bathing him, and bringing in takeout food from the neighborhood for our meals together. This meant that there were two of us sharing his half of the room. A private room seemed like more of a necessity than an extravagance. David was still too weak to complain, or even much care where he was, but I was getting annoyed. Surely hospitals have noticed that their staff is overworked, so shouldn't they be reasonably attentive to the requests of a patient who comes equipped with his own full-time maid. They can't have overlooked the fact that their budgets are shrinking while their expenses are rising. On the day David was transferred out of CCU we were told that when he left the hospital he'd have to look elsewhere for a cardiac rehab program because the one at Lenox Hill had closed six months ago due to budget cuts. So it would be reasonable to think that they'd jump on the opportunity to fill a more expensive private room for a week. But reason didn't seem to be part of the equation.

The Metropolitan Valentine was rushed by ambulance from an Orthodox monastery in Buena Vista to Rocky Mountain Medical Center in Salida.

"The doctors think it (may) be too serious to delay any longer," said Bishop Gregory, head of the Colorado region for the Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church in America, who hosted the visit. Orthodox leaders usually are identified by one name only. Metropolitan is the honorary title given a head of the orthodox church. He said doctors surmised that the metropolitan's condition was worsened by the 9,000-foot altitude of the monastery, called Dormition Skete.

Yet, that doesn't necessarily mean you'll be denied a policy or pay sky-high premiums if you answer "yes" when asked about heart disease on your life insurance application. "We are able to offer an insurance policy to the vast majority of people with a history of heart disease." Depending on the severity of your heart disease and the steps you've taken to treat it, you might get a life insurance policy with affordable rates. "We spend our lives underwriting diseases," says Dr. Robert Gleeson, a vice president and medical underwriter at Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company. "And, as an industry, we've had a lot of experience with coronary disease." According to Gleeson, over time people who have had heart attacks, and other forms of heart disease, tend to have predictable life expectancy rates, and the more predictable your life, the more willing insurers will be to sell you a life insurance policy.

Mike Lingenfelter of Huntsville knows it; his golden retriever Dakota has the amazing ability to sniff out an impending myocardial infarction well before it hits. Mr. Lingenfelter suffers from severe angina, an inflammation of the muscles surrounding the heart, a condition that frequently results in fatality. Mr. Lingenfelter himself had two heart attacks in 1992. Then along came Dakota. Dakota's story is no less difficult; he had been chained to a cow spike in a Texas yard and had been dying of heartworms when he was rescued by the Delta Society several years ago. Vets struggled to revive Dakota, even after his own heart had stopped beating. Once recovered, Dakota was trained as a service dog, whose initial job was simply to encourage his owner to exercise by nudging and pestering, if his owner becomes sedentary for too long. In 1995, Dakota was presented to Mike Lingenfelter by the Greater Houston Golden Retriever Society.

At the age of 43 I had a heart attack, three years later in 2000 I had a quadruple heart bypass operation so should I roll over and give in to heart disease. The answer yes would have been easy, instead I changed my diet and my lifestyle. I am now addressing my working life. No more long hours, more time at home and more time away on holiday. I went back to work, went back to some old ways and now wish I hadn’t. I ended up being very stressed and had some old symptoms returning. So I don’t intend to do that again and now I want to concentrate on having some quality time doing what I need to do. Part of quality to me is the Costa Del Sol in Spain and I have been several times, Maybe I will end up there who knows? Here you will see links to some apartments I can recommend them follow the link. Make sure most of all that you make time for you and your family as part of your recovery and you will get better and stay better if you make those life changes.
