Six years ago my husband had a massive heart attack - he coded out four times but they brought him back. Emergency surgery saved him. They put in a stent. Afterwards we were told that he had exhibited none of the classic risk patterns/behaviors except that he smoked cigarettes. His weight, blood pressure, pulse, cholesterol and so on were all normal, so the cardiologist was at a loss about how the attack could have happened. He said it was a nice normal heart - and that Bossman had taken no damage from the attack itself.

For six years Bossman has been going in for follow-up appointments to monitor his condition. Today he was told he is past the risk point for a recurrence and does not need to return for any more appointments.

So this Mabon is a celebratory day for more than one reason. Horray!
