Stay on the Sunnyside of Life
After complaining of chest pains while riding his bike home from work (which he's done rain or shine 10 miles a day, for 31 years), Claude went to the ER at Sunnyside hospital. Diagnosis? Turned out he'd had a mild heart attack (but very little damage to his heart, which is great!), but would need quadruple open heart bypass surgery - which shocked us. After 10 days in the hospital, he's now recovering at home. Thank goodness it didn't happen the previous week when we were diving up in the middle of nowhere, Vancouver Island, BC. And of course the whole event wound up being a mini-family-reunion! :)

Here's the front desk of the cardiac rehab facility. The patients hook up to EKG leads prior to exercising. Each one is transmitted wirelessly, and the staff monitors them simultaneously on that computer monitor you can see near the right edge of the photo. To the left around the corner are more exercise machines, and a classroom where the education portion takes place. It's a three day a week program, and will continue for 3 months.
