    now i've said this before but here it is again i think it bears repeating. the last couple of months have been hard times to say the least and the members of this forum have helped me survive i had no idea but i will be eteanaly gratfull.

    the reason for my dificultys started out as a stroke one of three then while i was being checked out for the stroke they found out i had problems with mt heart they did a heart exam and found the the arterys were 95 % blocked 5 bypass operations later i came out of it and i literaly wanted to die thanks to the memebers of the forum im still here you people all of you that sent your well wishes and prayers gave me the will to carry on and it will not be forgotten i have never been so down. but thanks to all of you i made it and im on the way to recovery slowly but surely.

    thew reason for all this is not because of cigeretts as most will say ive been a smoker for about 50 years but because of a drug called avandea a drug used to treat diabetis it has sinch been recalled but to late for me in a year this drug destroyed my heart now its payback time .

    so now you know the whole story and just how close i came to the end but thanks to all of you i made it . again my heart felt thanks to each and every one of you.

    my beat to all of you and again my thanks. southenpride :biggrin_25514:

    Unfortunately, heart problems and diabetes are all too prevalent in this industry.
    The sedentary nature of the job + poor diet and lack of exercise + alot of guys smoke takes a terrible toll on many truckers' health.
