Author Topic: Thankful this year - Thanksgiving OneOfEveryGen New Member Member # 1711 posted                    For those who didn't see this on the SLP board.This Thanksgiving has a special meaning this year because on November 8th, three weeks on Friday, I suffered a heart attack. I passed out as I was walking into the emergency room and three hours later I had two stints in my left artery. All this happened just 2 ½ weeks after getting my 2002 SS. Boy, get a new toy and almost didn’t get it past the break-in. Doing fine now and will be off work for a few weeks and I’ve already taken the SS back out a couple of times. Bottom line – the doctor told me two years ago to eat better and start exercising or I would end up like this. It seems the exercise time was always being replaced by working on my Camaros. It almost ended my Camaro time forever. So layoff some of those hamburgers and french fries and take care of yourselves so you can have Camaro fun till you are old. Take it from me, forty-five is too early to kick the bucket. Be thankful for life and family. -------------------- 69 Z/28 X-77 Body 72 Sport Coupe 78 Z/28 87 IROC 350 02 SS w/ SLP Options Posts: 10 | From: Ohio | Registered: Oct 2002  |  IP: Logged DaddySS Old Coot.....50 going on 20 Member # 848 posted                    Yikes!
