Prayers to you Joan! I am a Woman heart survivor! I invite you to join us. The only social network group you NEVER wanted to join! If you are on FaceBook just search for WomanHeart.

We have a Canadian survivor who writes a colum (not FaceBook) called Heart Sisters. Here is the address:

This goes for any of you out there! If you know a woman who has heart disease, please connect them or refer to me. Many, but not all, of us have had special education in heart disease at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, and have a passion for reaching out to other women about this #1 Killer of Women! Yes, more than breast cancer! (not to minimize breast cancer heaven forbid)
We talk about all of the things around heart disease, different kinds, different bodies, different doctors, depression, sex (?), families who don't understand. And most of all: PREVENTING IT IN THE NEXT GENERATION AND FINDING IT EARLY!! Yes, early detection, just like breast cancer. That is a key element!
Have a smooth, peaceful recovery Joan. Keep us informed!
