Title: Dec 26th hard on your heart Post by babyhog on 12/22/10 at 09:12:00 "December 26 is historically one of the most dangerous days of the year for people vulnerable to cardiac problems, including heart attacks, arrhythmias, and heart failure." http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/12/22/hazardous.day.after.christmas/index.html?hpt=T2 Let's all be good to our hearts... |

Title: Re: Dec 26th hard on your heart Post by photojoe on 12/22/10 at 10:59:21 This is also the time for lonely people to think about committing suicide. If you know of someone alone, do something nice for them. Older guy across the street from us lost his wife and also one of the dogs he's had for years. Spends most of his time alone drinking wine and smoking cigarettes. Sharon baked him pumpkin bread. I'll probably buy him a gallon of his favorite wine. The little things........ |

Title: Re: Dec 26th hard on your heart Post by justin_o_guy2 on 12/22/10 at 11:03:24 Yesterday someone burglarized an elderly couple. They called the cops & reported it. About 90 minutes later, the cops got another call, neighbor called & reported shots fired, same address. Both dead, murder/suicide. Who knows what went on there? Maybe one blamed the other for the burglary happening. Maybe they lost so much & had no way to replace it they gave up.. people do some bad things,, |

Title: Re: Dec 26th hard on your heart Post by Jerry Eichenberger on 12/22/10 at 11:06:18 On a serious note, anyone with cardiac problems should avoid heavy, stuffing holiday meals. The body funnels blood flow to the intenstines to digest such a meal, depriving other organs of their usually blood supply. That's one reason why you're sleepy after a gut busting meal. For people whose hearts are not getting normal blood supply anyhow due to blocked arteries, etc., this natural diversion of blood supply to the intenstines and away from the other organs, including the heart, can be fatal. |

Title: Re: Dec 26th hard on your heart Post by mpescatori on 12/22/10 at 11:45:44 True. It is also true that the elderly have a tendency to revert to their childhood eating habits, so if someone's Scandinavian, by the age of 70 they'll be aching and craving for smoked herring... ...if one's English, he'll be craving for a proper steak&kidney pudding (the one with the batter made strictly with flour, salt and lard) or a chicken&leek pie... My parents are on the "old" side of 70, and there's a marked change in their eating habits compared to 20 years ago (especially my mother's, she cooks, my Dad simply eats what's on the table) So, no more healthy salads and steamed fish, now it's stewed sausages and pork chopsand potato salad ... (my Mom's from Trieste, so it's actually Austrian cooking). So, don't be surprised if the elderly stuff themselves with foods that, at their age, "don't make sense", because they're simply going back to their childhood memories. Photojoe, if that old neighbor of yours spends all his time smoking and drinking wine, buying him a gallon of his favorite is like giving him a derringer to play russian roulette (please forgive the pun) Buy him something he'd like but can't afford, or, quite simply, cook him a tray of lean burgers or whatever he may like. It could actually be cheaper and win you an even broader smile. :) |

That's horrible! Did you hear about the 3 kids that died in a trailer fire, in Ohio I think. Mom was working, Dad was next door, they couldn't get in to save the kids. The next day or so, the Grandparents (the Mom's parents) were driving in to help with funeral arrangements for the kids and had a car accident and died. So this poor lady lost her 3 kids and her parents within days. http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/12/22/couple-killed-on-way-to-plan-funerals-for-three-grandchildren/?hpt=T2 |

Title: Re: Dec 26th hard on your heart Post by justin_o_guy2 on 12/22/10 at 13:07:56 I had a college friend who was telling his family story. They all go to a funeral & stop in a restaurant on the way home. Dad dies, sitting at the table. Year or so later, they have occasion to go to another funeral. Stop at the same place on the way home. Mom dies, at the table. I knew the guy well enough to believe it. |

Title: Re: Dec 26th hard on your heart Post by Jerry Eichenberger on 12/23/10 at 06:58:35 BH - That all happened right down the road from my town. I have handled two cases involving fires in mobile homes. I would live in a refirerator box under a bridge before I'd live in a trailer. If they catch fire, it's like being in an oven. Internal temperatures skyrocket far higher than any normal house fire. I've seen very few trailer fires where people survived. Also, I met a guy just this past Sunday who had his small airplane for sale. Sunday night he had his diesel pickup plugged into one of those heated dipsticks that keeps the oil warn. Something shorted out during the night, and his house burned to the ground. The family all got out OK, but all possessions and the house were destroyed. |

Title: Re: Dec 26th hard on your heart Post by babyhog on 12/23/10 at 07:06:47 Jerry, yes I saw later that the wreck happened on 23. Driven that road many times myself. I feel so bad for them. And sorry to hear about that guy's trouble too, but glad they got out ok. Strange stuff... |

Title: Re: Dec 26th hard on your heart Post by stinger on 12/24/10 at 03:51:28 Holy Crap! I just had like my 3rd Echo and cardiogram and like 5 EKG's on my heart because of the fluid build up around it.The last one today! Caused by my crash a couple of months ago.So! I guess Im out of luck on that Xmas gift certificate for a guided fishing trip next March? Oh Man! I only have 2 days left! I' going out and spend the rest of my short time left, out by the dumpster! It's pretty cold out tho. I might get in the dumpster. Not a bad idea. Then they can just roll me away. Save some bucks on a funeral. Plus, I won't have to go out for food till the 26th. Nice to have met you all! Merry Xmas! ( And Sluggo, if you hurry, you might find some left over Xmas present i didn't quite get to finish in my shirt pocket) Close the lid when you leave please. |
