How does a 3 Sport varsity high School athlete, collegiate decathlon competitor, former Power lifter, who is in the administration section of the Michigan Power lifting Hall of Fame, who was featured in Power lifting USA and on the cover of Power lifting Canada magazines, Coach of the Year in 3 different sports with State and National titles, then survive not one but two open heart surgeries? David A. Burke will tell you how he survives with positive attitude, supportive friends and family, and pure determination. You will learn how the author and you can take a lemon and make lemonade, and enjoy it with some lemon meringue pie. I first learned I had heart trouble at the age of 15. I had my first 5 way bypass at 36, and 2nd at age 49. My third one should be about 2014, and I will win again. Staying in shape and working out consistently will provide you with a better chance for survival and recovery.
