"Jim and Priscilla Russell of Grand Prairie, Texas, just might be taking togetherness a little too far. While he was in the emergency room being treated for a heart attack, she was outside having one of her own. The couple, who have been married 27 years, reunited in the cardiac catheterization lab and were admitted to Texas Health Resources Arlington Memorial Hospital. 'They put us in the same room together,' said Priscilla Russell, 79. Six years, a triple bypass, one aortic valve and a pacemaker later, they're both healthy and work out regularly." - Grand Forks HeraldThis is the blog for CARG, the Coronary Artery Rehabilitation Group, based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.
