    About this ebook

    In 1952 20th century entertainment icon Eddie Cantor survived his first heart attack.
    He coins the name cardiactor. Sixty years later, grandson Brian Gari undergoes a sudden open heart surgery and has a quadruple bypass. Little did Brian know at two and a half that his posing with his grandpa for the Heart Fund would end up being so prophetic.

    This is Brian's personal story of what you can expect (and not expect) when undergoing
    one of the most serious operations one can ever endure. It is filled with both humor
    and sadness when facing one of life's most challenging moments.
