Dorothy:  The Grand Canyon!  Oh, and what a great photo of your granddaughter!

Jim:  Yeah, that's Katie!  She's 10 and she never stops moving!

Dorothy:  How did you keep up?

Jim:  I COULDN'T have a few years ago.  I had such pain in my legs back then, I was afraid my traveling days were over.  When I finally told my doctor about it, I found out I have P-A-D.

Dorothy:  Right...and what is P-A-D again?

Jim:  Peripheral arterial disease—clogged arteries in the legs. It can really affect your mobility—and raise your risk of heart attack and stroke.

Dorothy:  How do I know if I'm at risk?

Jim:  Those of us over 50, especially smokers or people with diabetes or heart disease are at risk. You should talk to your doctor about it. I'm glad I did. Now, I'm back where I want to be—on the road again! Look, check this one out...Katie and I climbed this ridge...

Announcer:  Take steps to learn about peripheral arterial disease.  Talk to your health care provider, or go to www dot ABOUT P-A-D dot org.  That's ABOUT P-A-D dot org.
