STEPHANIE'S INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTI woke up at four in the morning with really bad heartburn, took a couple of antacid tablets, but it got worse instead of better. And I went to work that morning and I must have looked as bad as I felt, because a co-worker came up to me and said "are you O.K., you look really bad." I said "no, I'm not O.K.," which is not something I easily admit. I have to feel pretty bad to say that. And it turned out that I'd had a small heart attack. And I'm a little young for that so it was a shock. When the doctor actually told me that I had a heart attack, it didn't sink in. I had a heart attack, what do you mean I had a heart attack? And there have been changes in my life. The things that are on the peripheral have come into focus and I pay a lot more attention. Walking a little bit more, not smoking and what I eat, just really simple things that I never thought of before.
