A Parting Gift
Posted April 19th, 2008 by SCAFoundationBonnie Stine, Lakeland, FL – 51 at time of event (2006)
Bonnie never knew that she had something wrong with her heart. No one put all the little pieces together. She was often a little out of breath, not exactly in shape, pre-menopausal, and even had a little swelling in her ankles. As a registered nurse, she might have known better, but cardiology was not her specialty. She knew she was overweight, and the two Caesarian sections hadn’t helped.
