Heart attack Laziness is part of the therapy By Dick Kleiner (Last of Two Parts) LOS ANGELES - (NEA) — Life in the intensive care unit of a hospital is governed by routine. It doesn’t take you, as a patient, long to recognize this and adapt to it. I had had what, later, they called a mild heart attack. They had put me in the cor onary care unit at Midway Hospital and, within a few hours, I began to fit into the system. The medical routine began right after breakfast. An orderly wheeled in an EKG — electrocardiograph — machine. Another orderly came to take a blood sample. There might be an X ray or some other test. Every few hours, day and night, one of the nurses would take my temperature, check my pulse, measure my blood pressure. Every few hours, night and day, another nurse would wheel a small cart to the door of my room, dole out a few pills in a paper cup, make sure that I swallowed them. For hours, between ministrations, you are alone, trapped with your fears and doubts. Suddenly, you have been confronted with the positive fact that you are mor tal. You could die in this place. People did. On the wall behind me, if I twisted around, I could see the monitor and the cheerful green line that indicated my heart was beating away. It was comforting. A few times, the loudspeaker voice would say, “Code 5 Blue, Room 242” and everybody would rush to that room. That was the code for a cardiac emergency. I was the center of one emergency of my own. Trying to sleep, I apparently tossed and turned so vigorously that the wires hooking up my monitor became unhooked. The monitor went wild — red lights flashing, buzzers buz zing. Nurses came running. It was reassuring. As it turned out, I was in intensive care for a shade longer than 48 hours. On the second day, they wheeled me to the next phase — COU, or Coronary Observation Unit. It was like being released from prison. The intravenous bottle was removed, the monitor dis connected (for several more days I would be monitored, but by a wireless device) and I found I could move a little without worrying about dis connecting myself. They rolled me into a room that was equipped with two wonderful inventions —a bathroom and a television set. You cannot imagine how great it is to go to the bathroom on your own until you aren’t allowed to. In intensive care, you don’t even brush your teeth — they give you a basin and some mouthwash. But now I could not only brush my teeth, I could shave. I toyed with the idea of letting my beard grow — it seemed to be coming in grey, which might be in teresting — but realized that was laziness talking. And laziness is part of your life. You are encouraged and urged to be lazy. It’s part of your therapy as a heart patient. And then you find that you are actually enjoying it. The longer you do it, the more the thought of getting out and going back to your work and your worries is not as alluring a prospect as it once was. The lazy life begins to capture you. And you bask in the glory of your illness. People call you up, send you cards, books, flowers, fruit. Everybody rallies around to help you and wish you well. There is a cer tain status to your condition. And yet, fortunately, the restlessness proves stronger than the laziness. You feel guilty about not doing your job, about the burden your il lness is placing on your fami ly. They tell you to think of this as a vacation, but you know better. So you welcome every sign that you are being readied for the outside world. One day, the doctor says you can sit up in a chair a few hours a day. The next step is being labelled “ambulatory,” which means you can walk through the hospital corridors. Another great moment is when you receive shower privileges. When they say you will be go ing home tomorrow, you feel like jumping for joy. Heart disease is the number one killer in America. The American Heart Assn es timates that 52 per cent of all deaths in 1977 will be from some form of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Three times as many people will die from CVD as from cancer; 10 times as many from CVD as from accidents. paint it. stain it. or forget it.

Page 9 Griffin Daily News Friday, July 8,1977 Armed with a search warrant, the house was searched by officers and 15 gallons of the unlawful liquor was confiscated. That same afternoon around 4:30 p.m., police officers were traveling down a grassy path off Keys Ferry Road near the Henry-Butts boundary. About to stake out the distillery where Ms. Patterson had obtained her liquor, detectives met four men in a Ford pickup truck. The men had dismounted the still for the day and were carrying the vital parts of the illegal operation away on the truck. Caught leaving with the parapher nalia and 36 gallons of the moonshine, the men were arrested. A short distance from where the truck was stopped by police, the remaining parts of the still were found and destroyed. And some were cruel . . . “Fat people are terribly dis criminated against in this country,” says Barbara Cook, 49. And she should know, hav ing been at both ends of the spectrum In 1957 she weighed 106 pounds and won a Tony award as Marian the Librarian in “The Music Man.” Today, she carries easily twice that weight, and sings, as herself, in cabarets. “I had no idea until I went into a cabaret in ’74 that I had the kind of following and respect I seem to have from people, that’s based on all that work I did in the theater.” But in spite of audience respect it will never be easy for her, especially in an Sat.
