Dave, My buddy is a great guy. The last time he had a heart attack, he was lucky it happened on the recovery room table or we would have lost him.
He is hard headed though. Doctors and I could tell him all day long to change his lifestyle.
This time though he owes it to his wife and kids as before he wasn't responsible for anyone other than himself.
I hope this new responsibility will be enough to make him "want" to better his eating and exercise habits.
