Answer:
I'm very happy for you that you did not sustain a lot of heart damage. Try to look for low fat/low cholesterol cookbooks that will help you change your eating habits. There are many support groups out there. The hospital in Orlando, Fla. where I am now working has an outpatient program that is open to the community with a very low fee for Cardiac patients trying to eat a low fat/low cholesterol diet combined with exercise per their Doctor's advice and instructions. Many books are also out on the subject and a trip to the library is a suggestion you also might consider.
