Steve Sarkisian's Open Heart Surgery - Important to put personal health first. He was proactive with annual physical!

[Bevo92]

Good reminder, I was watching this ESPN story earlier today about Sark's surprising diagnosis of heart aneurism in 'widow maker' artery at routine annual physical that led to urgent open heart surgery the summer of 2020, in advance of Sark helping Saban produce one of the most dominant national champions in recent memory.  He's got a long scar down the front of his chest as a reminder now.  So important to get annual physical, especially focused on early signs of heat disease or potential for cancer.  For all of us men above 55, heart disease is the dominant  #1 cause of death and cancer is #2.  Well done story by ESPN.🧡🤘🐂

After watching this video from a few years back, it reminded me to make sure my annual physical was scheduled this summer.

My grandpa was filling up a tractor once and left it in gear. Once he finished filling up he started it from the ground and it ran him over and the blade attachement he had scraped his belly a little which basically looked like he was fileted a little. Fortunately during the internal scans of him they found he had an aneurism on his aorta valve. They were able to correct the aneurism with a surgical procedure.

Omg, talk about a crazy blessing in disguise for your grandpa.
