I cannot tell how much my heart suffered for my people while at Leavenworth.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think I was able to survive five heart attacks because I never postponed going to the hospital when something didn't feel right.
My heart does sometimes bleed for those who are hurting in my own country and abroad.
The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.
It sustained me... I can't tell you how much their support meant to me when I was leaving and coming back and even while I was gone, there was a part of me that knew people were pulling for me.
The only thing left that shows I was a heart patient is I have a scar down the middle of my chest where they went in three times to do open heart surgery. I have a brand new heart inside, and all the mechanical and electronic gear and so forth is all gone.
I want the public to know the truth, not every condition affecting the heart comes from a blockage.
Losing my daughter was a very serious pain. There was always some empty space in my heart.
If you haven't got any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.
I've been extraordinarily fortunate that I've been able to go live a very active, stressful life. And I don't believe that my heart disease changed me for the worst.
Except for the occasional heart attack, I never felt better.
