Bill's brother Barry lives on his boat in San Carlos- a few hours south of the Arizona border. A few weeks ago he had a restless night, and later wrote Bill that he felt a 'heaviness in his chest'. Bill advised him to go to a local doctor right away. That doctor indicated that he needed to lose weight, eat right, stop depending on Zantac, etc. Wisely, he decided to go to California for a thorough check-up with his regular doctor. A week ago he saw the doctor who told him he was having a heart attack RIGHT THEN... needless to say, they hospitalized him and wound up installing three stents to solve the problem! He is now back on his boat and is looking at some drastic changes in his lifestyle in order to reverse the heart problem. Fortunately, he did not have any permanent damage to the heart itself. It is scary to think of what would have happened if he had not gone to his doctor, living alone like he does. Well, Ace is there, but I don't think his dog training lessons included CPR!
