R.I.P. Karen

Today is a sad day...Kennedy's paternal grandmother passed away very unexpectedly at the young age of 47. Today I will hug my own mom a little tighter and let her know that I really do appreciate her....because you never know when the ones you love won't be around for you to tell them. Also, if I have learned anything from her passing.....women, we HAVE to take control of our own health! Us.....not our boyfriends/husbands, not even the doctors. Not to go into great detail, but I strongly feel that she was misdiagnosed and actually died from heart disease....really won't know until the reports come back. There has been more information in the news and current headlines that heart disease is the number #1 killer for women and is often misdiagnosed and even overlooked. Please educate yourself and other women you love....be persistent about getting more tests done even if previous tests come back normal!! It is up to us!!
