 My name is Joe Leone. I'm the owner, operator, chef, baker, dishwasher, whatever it takes here at Joe Leone. It's a Point Plus Beach in the Cedar. It's really, really important that I keep it going and I want this heart to keep beating, enjoying the success and the fruits that it's giving, not only to me but to my team members. When I turned 42 years old, I really started getting a lot of anxiety, a lot of constantly getting very anxious and worried that something was going to happen to me that year. Six people in my family had also died suddenly at 42 and they had that number in the back of my mind all through my 20s and to my 30s and I hit 42 on my 42nd birthday and I really wanted to get interested and really start what's going on and really get in there and see. Once I started really getting into my 40s, I really tried to do my best by losing weight and watching what I ate, getting more active with the activity of working out. I noticed that I was struggling during the workout periods, not having a lot of energy. February of 2018, I had an episode that was, I guess, preparing me for something massive. I had a sensation in my chest that was really hard, like a hard pressing on my chest. My left arm started feeling numb and also my jaw had some discomfort too. I had a hard time cooling down. I would feel a little bit of swelling in my legs. I was very concerned and I was rushed to the hospital. After I got to Jersey Shore, I was really, really concerned. Dr. Patel was putting me through some tests. They cardioverted me because I was back in aphidrhythm. He asked me if I could walk around the hallway. I got up, I walked around Northwest Pavilion and I was walking around and I felt very gassed and I was really feeling that pain again in my left arm. At that point, he decided to call Dr. LaMarche and they brought me in for a catheterization. Dr. LaMarche told me that I was blocked and that I needed a triple bypass surgery. I was more excited to address the issue knowing that I was going to live longer if the surgery was going to be a success, which obviously it was. I had a great support system of nurses and doctors and my family around me and I just was on the road to recovery. One of the things that Dr. Sealove expressed to me, he says, you have to keep blood flowing through the heart. Now that this heart is doing really well and I'm committed to keeping the blood flowing through the heart, I've been doing my passion in boxing and cardio training. I have great energy. I'm feeling good as a mid-aged person. When you have such a cardiac episode, you start feeling bad for yourself. You start getting a little bit of depression. You start worrying about something happening. But I look back at my life from when I opened up my business 21 years ago to now. I feel how really blessed I am and fortunate I am to live the American dream.
