My Dad had a massive heart attack when he was 49. My grandpa had a heart attack when he was 49. His father had a heart attack when he was 49. I have 14 years left. Scary shit. Can anything be done about this? I hope so. On the bright side, I have 14 good years left and they all survived. Countdown clock is getting louder. Its kinda like Y2K. Hopefully my 49th year will as big a bust as that was.
I used to say that there was nothing I could do about it. Genetics is certainly working against me. It really is an existential question. Does one control their destiny? Do the decisions we make determine our path? Is everything laid out already? Are we just playing the part written for us by someone else? To say something was meant to be really let’s people off the hook. A person doesn’t need to take responsibility for anything they do if that’s the case. Whoah heavy shit.
I don’t come from skinny stock. I think people underestimate that. It is more difficult for some to maintain a healthy weight than it is for others. Yet to be defeated by that is a disservice to those who love you. You can’t rollover and say its out of your hands. If you do then you literally won’t be able to rollover at all.
