Our last Podcast before Christmas
A real light-hearted start to the Podcast this week as we discuss Christmas preparations, family, and favorite Christmas television.
Our guest this week is Shirley Willsher, Shirley has had two major health events in her life, the first being Arteriovenous malformation (AVM's) and a few years later a Heart attack.
Shirley openly and honestly tells us how the onset of ATV put her in a six-day Coma, had major surgery, and dealt with recovery. An unexpected turn of events that all came early one normal morning while at the gym. Following her recovery, a few years later Shirley suffered a heart attack one morning family gathered around to help, and was again rushed into hospital for surgery the very same day.
Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) happen when a group of blood vessels in your body forms incorrectly. In these malformations, arteries and veins are unusually tangled and form direct connections, bypassing normal tissues. This usually happens during development before birth or shortly after.
During a heart attack, a lack of blood flow causes the tissue in the heart muscle to die. A heart attack is also called a myocardial infarction. Prompt treatment is needed for a heart attack to prevent death.
We of course cannot finish our Podcast this week without "Martin's Joke of the Week"
In closing, we discuss our next show and what we have lined up and of course wish everyone a happy Christmas.
