Get your health checked NOW

Hi all, im not telling you this for sympathy more to highlight that you never know.
A fella i know was on his way to work yesterday with his dad when he said "i don't feel so good"as soon as he said it he slumped in his seat,he had a heart attack.His dad pulled the car up and tryed to revive him but it was to late.He was fit,healthy,and very far from overweight if anything he was under weight.Here's the cruncher he was 27 yrs old.
It has opened my eye's up that's for sure,you hear of older people having them but think im young won't happen to me yet WRONG.

It's made me think about life and how it could be over at any second,ive rang my sister's today that i rarely speak to,and made sure that my wife and kids know how much i love them.
Don't ever think im young don't need to worry about that yet,get to your GP and get checked over just for peice of mind.
And let the one's you love know how much, you may just never get the chance.
27 far to young to go like that.

Shame mate, sorry to hear about your mate.

That is crazy for such a young age...You've got me worried now!!!

You can also do the free worksite health check where they come in and do all of the employees....Speak to your bosses about it.

its' free and only takes 10 minutes.

Doesn't matter if your young and fit or fat and old, if its time its time. Always get a regualar check up with your GP.

may you rest in peace stu

Mate, bad news about your friend. Sorry to hear.
This is why you need to live your life to the fullest , don't hold back. Just go and do it. You just don't know when your day is up. And I'm not trying to be a smartarse here I just think everyone has a day when they go. Obviously definetly try and stay healthy

and don't forget to get the yuckie stuff checked too, esp if overweight for a while, a bit keen on the grog and over 45

Old father time can get a bit impatient at times, yep, get it checked out fer sure, even if you feel on top of the world.
AND, not just boys, everyone who has a heart, lungs, bowel etc etc etc. and that's most of us!!

Cheers, the ferret.

What a waste, 27 is too early no matter what, lost my younger Sis at 22, lived a good life and had so many prospects for the future. But like Todd said when your times up thats it. Fat skinny fit or not its still hard to comprehend. The miss's x hubby was a fit and healthy soccer coach worked 6 days a week and enjoyed life, had a cough for a few weeks and went to doc' sent him to hospital and gone 6 weeks later,

Its never easy, Sorry to hear about your mate buddy,Condolences to his family and friends.

Sorry to hear about your mate Chester.

It definately pays to take care of yourself etc but you just never know when your time is coming. My first wife went to work as normal on the 17th of July 2000, she was 29, around midday that day her heart stopped and she couldn't be revived. She was already being monitered for a heart murmar but was considered to be in a low risk group for heart failure-her time had come.

I took a lot of comfort knowing that she died with her friends (work mates) around her and that she didn't die while she was driving to work, or even at home where I would have found her when I got home hours later. It was an immensly difficult time in my life and I'm tearing up remembering it now, but death is a part of life, we just have to do everything we can to postpone it for as long as possible.

Tony

Edit, on a brighter note I decided that in typical aussie bloke style I would deal with my loss by going on a road trip. I ended up down at Repco 2 days later to get something (I can't remember what it was) for my GQ to get it ready. When it was my turn to be served at the parts counter Jason (who was serving me) asked how I was. I said quetly "I've had better weeks". The smug SOB standing in line behind me said loudly "you don't know what a bad day is!", which of course got the attention of everyone else in the store. I calmly turned around, looked him straight in the eye and said just as loud "my wife died on Tuesday and I have to bury her tomorrow a$$hole!". Picture one big bloke trying desperately to shrink down into his work boots out of embarassment as he quietly mumbled "sorry mate".

It still makes me laugh every time I think about it.

What can I say Tony, probably nothing.
May she rest peacefully and remain in your heart for ever.
