Sheila Says: Skydiving Saved This Grandpa’s Life

74 year old Ed Flemming promised his grandson he’d go skydiving with him on his 18th birthday, but the skydiving company required anyone over 65 to get a doctor’s clearance. The doc had Ed do a stress test, which involves a treadmill pushing you to your limit. Turned out he had all 5 of his arteries blocked. Instead of skydiving he had quintuple bypass surgery. Doctors said he could’ve had a heart attack during the dive.  After he recovers he still plans on making that dive.
