Very interesting research out of Oregon, about women's tendency to delay seeking treatment even in the middle of a heart attack: http://myheartsisters.org/2009/05/22/know-and-go-during-heart-attack/ Researchers have identified six distinct behaviour patterns that result in delayed attempts to get help. I'm a heart attack survivor and a 2008 graduate of the annual Mayo Clinic Science & Leadership Symposium for Women with Heart Disease in Rochester, Minnesota. Now, when I do presentations about women and heart disease - our #1 killer - my strongest advice is 'don't be like me!' - pay attention to your body! You know your own body and you know when something is just not right. Don't make excuses, don't minimize your symptoms, don't put off seeking help because you are 'too busy' taking care of everybody else. Get help immediately. Do not delay. Call 911.

But good to see Mariska as well now and even more beautiful. This photo shows all the beauty of facial Mariska which is a lovely person in all respects. Must have been really scary.
