Go Red for Heart Disease Awareness

National Go Red day, Charleston, SC   

Heart disease is still a leading cause of death. The good news is that most cardiac events can be prevented with lifestyle changes. We know that and most of us know what we should be doing to prevent heart disease. We don't always do it but we know what the goal is and can keep working towards better diet and exercise. It never hurts to be reminded how precious good health is and take some responsibility for it. 

Smile!

I spray painted a flat wooden frame red to use as a prop for Go Red day and then tested it while the Caring Clowns were going on rounds. I think it was pretty successful. Thanks for the smiles!

Fiddling with the new can of red spray I accidentally hit the nozzle when it was pointed in the opposite direction and sprayed bright red all the way up my arm to my elbow. I was rushing to work and luckily had some fingernail polish remover that got most of it off but I did look like I had a bad burn all day.

It's Saturday and bright and crisp outside! Where shall I walk this morning?

February - Heart Month

Go Red for Heart Disease

February is noted as Heart Month. Eat a healthy meal, get a bit of exercise to celebrate. I am a strong supporter of the American Heart Association because more than any other disease we know how to prevent many case of heart disease and research has led to complete recovery to healthy lives for so many people who have had heart disease. Too bad we aren't as lucky with so many other diseases. Stay healthy my friends.

I was taking a group picture of Go Red for Heart Disease Awareness Day when one of my hospital volunteers mentioned she was a survivor. I said, "We are doing this for you!" Little did I know, not only was she was a survivor of nine years after quadruple bypass surgery but it was her birthday. Happy birthday Mary!

Take care of your hearts folks. Aim to eat healthy, get some exercise and take care of yourself!

Here is my Go Red for Women photo. I bought thirty helium ballons and tried to figure out how to make a heart shape out of them. Below is my template. Heheh. Not bad. I work with such cool folk.
