Heart attack at 33 - getting back on track
So I’m back at work now and trying to get my feet back under me.
I’ve had to share my story of how I suffered a heart attack at 33, so many times I can hardly remember who I’ve actually told now at work.
I feel as if every time I have had to repeat it, it has been more about the person that I have told then about me as an individual. Still I let them offer the thoughts just to be nice and to not offend.
Don't get me wrong, I work with some absolutely wonderful people that make it a pleasure to come to work everyday.
I think the hardest part of these conversations is that the person feels like they can say just about anything because it all fits under the umbrella of helping me out and giving me some ideas for the future healing.
Now I might sound ungrateful but it turns out half of the advise is either medically unsound or based on only half of my circumstances as they see it. Then there is those that are so called fit and healthy people that feel happy to tell me I am making bad choices.
In one particular instance i was taking to a work mate that some of us were heading out for lunch at a sort of posh burger restaurant and this person stared straight at me and said that isn’t very healthy. Now had I been really sensitive I would have been quite hurt, but I just shrugged it of and shot back a quip. Whilst I quipped back at this person I looked pointed at her hands and what did I see... 2 packets of potato chips.
Now this person often spouts that they are quite healthy when it comes to eating however they often drink a bottle of coke starting from breakfast time and those packets of chips were actually going to be her lunch.
So I guess what I’m trying to say, is that I have got to that point where because my heart disease can not be seen, it is now being seen as a less valid concern that is open for comment.
I’m not saying that I hate being given advice in fact I welcome valid advice. I just don’t think that in this day and age that I should have to be spoken down to like I’m a little kid, that is sneaking cookies out of the cookie jar.
Maybe I'm being oversensititive. Maybe I'm just a raw nerve after having this heart attack.
Have other people encountered this kind of situation? Does the “helpful” advice ever stop? Is it just me?
I welcome your input. As it can some times be hard to see things clearly from the inside.
The elite eugenicists, who were born with platinum spoons in their mouths, hate all of us commoners and are eager to spend their inherited oil fortunes on spreading lies in order to convince us to kill ourselves. They've subsidized the meat and dairy industries into monstrous tools of death and destruction. Heart disease is the number one killer on Earth. It has claimed many of my family members' lives just as it threatens yours. I promise you, I practice what I preach, and I don't eat potato chips for lunch. This short video changed my life, I hope it does for you too.
thank you for the link
First off sorry to hear about the Heart Attack and as I was discussing with a friend recently who had one at forty he took it as a good thing in that he recovered from it and it gave him a good burst of motivation to make some changes in his life, but those changes were his choice to make and he to was getting frustrated with everyone seeming to think they were experts with advice for what he should or shouldn't be doing
I said somehting to him a week agho, which he has told me just recently really helped him stay calm and ignore gettign upset with the know it alls giving him advise by sayying what I said in his head laughing inside nodding to the person and moving on
Opinions are like A$$holes everyone has one but we do not need to hear or see them
That last statement is very true. :)
It'll take me some practice to not react to them I guess, they all have something that the believe is of the upmost importance to impart onto me at the moment. I have taken to wearing headphone and staying out of conversations at the moment.z
Thanks for taking the time to comment, it is appreciated.
Glad to visit
Matters of the heart are very sensitive... Just trust your heart to do what is right, people generally are usually misguided on such things, even doctors
