Randy Travis has CHF

My younger brother was diagnosed with this at the age of 37. The cause? He was a Methamphetamine user. He smoked it, which is the worst possible way to use that terrible drug. His lungs were trashed, his heart was 3 times normal size while only working at 25% of normal. He was on oxygen the last 3 years of his life. He died Apr 2012 just a month shy of his 41st birthday. It was a terrible thing to see... a guy running his body on junk like that is akin to running nitrous and a supercharger on a worn out engine. He left behind a wife and 2 young boys.
As for Mr Travis, I hope that he is able to heal and get back to a somewhat normal life.
