Funny you should mention Dec 30. As you were posting the original message I was just leaving intensive care for a ward after my Dec 30 open heart surgery. I arrived the night before, on Dec 29, with a heart attack called a STEMI and they assembled an emergency surgery team over night, through a blizzard, to do the job on the morning of Dec 30 2012. I found out after, that all of the men on my father's side for more than 4 generations had cardiac events of some kind at the age of 58. All of us every one. So far only my father and I made it through, he died well into his 70's from something unrelated. Just had my birthday yesterday so I'm no longer 58, but the operation sure was the biggest "S" kicking I ever took :) One can't avoid genetics.
Beware of Dec 30 indeed!
