Ain't it the truth, Karlos. 1996 for me, quad bi-pass, 90% blocked, 53 yrs old.
My "epiphany" was my wife (nurse) throwing holy water on me as they wheeled me into the operating room!, me yelling at the staff to "get this woman to the waiting room, please!" Quit smoking that day also. I figured I wanted to be around to see my son graduate, marry and make me a grandpa.
It was worth it...
