Cigarettes Almost Killed Him, Cardiology Saved

The assignment for a blogging class I am taking through lvsonline.com was to write a story using 6 words. Since my husband had a heart attack last month this has obviously been on my mind a lot of the time thus the above title. He has not had a cigarette in 6 weeks now and because we are in an area with lots of good medical care he is alive and well today. It was just a matter of choosing which hospital to have the ambulance take him to at which cardiologists immediately saw him and performed a cardiac cath hours later with another one done 10 days ago. Now it is up to him to follow through on no cigarettes, diet changes, taking his many medications and going to cardiac rehab. At this point I feel fairly confident he will succeed and make a full recovery.
