Save a Life!

I can tell you a personal story, one of which you may or may not have heard about. You see, my father was a light smoker and a light drinker. He was a loving father and a hard working man. He took us on so many trips growing up. We went camping, to Kings Island in Ohio, Six flags, Sea world and traveled a great deal.

On the day that my father first complained about chest pain. I will tell you that I was very nervous. I was nervous because I have extensive training in CPR and worked on a Medical Surgical Floor at Saint Vincents Hospital in Santa Fe New Mexico for about 4 years and 10 months just shy of five years.

I knew that heart attack symptoms can manifest in many ways. I often studied the chart on our floor. The diagram indicated that an individual can have pain either on the left arm, right arm and center chest. And the pain may radiate to the back below the clavicle. In women it can manifest as indigestion. Some of the signs of impending heart are dropping things involuntarily. Leg cramps and waking up with a severe headache. Most often people who suffer heart attacks are likely to suffer the heart attack in the early morning hours. Such as my father did.

He complained of pain for about four days. I took him to his doctor and his doctor whom we trust was a family physician; told him that he pulled a muscle. I wished now that he had ordered an EKG. I offered to take my father to the emergency room. He declined, because he couldn't afford the bill and felt it would be cheaper to go see his personal doctor.

My father passed away from heart attack sometime between 3 and 4 am sitting on the couch watching television. In some ways I feel cheated. My father was only 69 years young. His mother and father lived to their eighties. So naturally I thought my father would too.

But there was another problem that shortened his life. My father was diagnosed with colon cancer. He had a colonectomy in 2003. He survived colon cancer, endured tremendous pain in his lower gut. He also endured chemotherapy and was never the same man again. He would often look very tired and yellow. He was very weak and slept a great deal. He went through bouts of depression. And he tried to hang on as long as possible. He did have some good days. And on those days he worked on his little projects, such as: fixing bikes or vacuum cleaners. He survived six more years.  He died at the age of sixty-nine.

Now that I know that my family has a genetic predisposition to cancer; I want to save as many family members as possible. My sons, my uncles, my aunts, my sisters and my brother.

My eldest son Sebastian bought the smokeless greensmoke cigarette for my middle son. He wanted to help him quit. It was the greatest idea! My son tried the product. Liked the way it tasted and didn't feel agitated. He really enjoyed the product. So when a friend of mine sent me the link I decided to promote this product.

How many of us have family members who smoke? And how of us, have family that has passed away from the carcinogens in cigaretts. I have an uncle who passed from stomach cancer he was a smoker and a drinker. My father passed from a heart attack he was a mild smoker, but a smoker non the less.
