A Personal Project:
Surviving a Heart Attack
In October 2026, Bruce suffered
a heart attack and underwent
quadruple coronary bypass surgery.
The experience was serious
and life-changing.
Yet even while awaiting surgery,
he was already considering
how his experience might
help someone else.
One proposed book would
bring together two perspectives:
the firsthand experience
of surviving a heart attack
and a carefully researched
guide to understanding
heart health and prevention.
The personal account would
describe the warning signs,
emergency treatment,
hospital transfers,
surgery, and recovery
from a patient's perspective.
The educational portion
would draw on credible
medical sources and
appropriate professional
review, with the goal
of helping readers better
understand heart health.
"I don't have time for dying.
I'm on a mission from God."
Those words, shared with
his daughter during the
experience, reflect
Bruce's continuing
sense of purpose.
Recovery and medical guidance
remain priorities.
Any future book will be
developed at a pace
consistent with his recovery.
