ST 14 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, February 14, 1989 Heart disease is an uphill cream, eggs). He is forced to take it easy, which means he can't tinker around the house anymore. A nearby student cuts the couple's. grass in the summertime. The camper sits in the driveway, untouched. Fortunately, Jack finally has the fluid problem under control, al- though it took many trips to both Port Perry and Toronto hospitals to do so. Only 57 years old, Jack is liv- ing like a much older man. "It bugs me," he says, "because I've always been so active." His only hope now is a heart transplant, but because of his dia- betes, doctors say he is an unlike- ly candidate. In a way, that pleases Jack and Bonnie. He doesn't relish another operation or the never-ending medical tests that go along with it. He can live with the pain he suffers day in and day out. He doesn't mind paying between $200 and $300 a month for drugs. Only if his heart deteriorates drastically will a transplant be possible. He's not sure how long his own heart will hold out. "I-was scared to ask him," Jack admits. Bonnie and Jack have come to know many people who suffer from heart disease. "It's just mind-boggling how many by-pass operations go on," Bonnie says. "It's more prevalent than you think." One man, in hospital for a by- pass the same time as Jack, died on the operating table. None of that can persuade him the by-pass isn't a good thing, 985-0171 PA (ET /id, LJ) JUST Tony's * Weekend & Evening Service * Written Estimate & Warranty * Licenced Serviceman * Flat Rate Service Call * Repairs to All Makes battle however. "The people who have a by-pass before a heart attack are the ones who really seem to benefit," he says. He's right. The Heart and Stroke Foundation has been telling peo- ple for years to eat healthy, stop smoking, exercise and closely monitor the heart. Major signs of a heart attack in- clude chest discomfort, fatigue, nausea, sweating and shortness of breath. If you have any of these symptoms, the foundation urges you to seek help right away. Heart disease and stroke are the leading causes of death in Canada- -twice as many people die of heart disease and stroke than cancer. Approximately three million Ca- nadians suffer from some form of heart or blood vessel disease. On February 1st, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario kicked off its 31st annual fund- raising campaign, Heart and Stroke Month. This year organizers are hoping to raise a record $26 million for its research and education pro- S. The foundation funds more than two-thirds of all heart disease and stroke research in the province. More than 65,000 will be can- vassing Ontario residents during the month of February. And they're all looking for generous support. After all, there's a lot of people out there in Jack Davies' position, who are doing everything they can to combat heart disease. Maybe some day Jack and Bon- nie will get the chance to try out their new camper. They're hoping.
