Grammer Credits Wife With Recovery

Former FRASIER star KELSEY GRAMMER has praised his wife CAMILLE for helping him recover from his recent heart attack.

The 53-year-old actor was rushed to hospital in Hawaii in May (08) after suffering a cardiac arrest while on holiday.

And Grammer credits his third wife, who he married last year (07), with speeding up his recovery.

He says, "She's been amazing. She was the rock, she really was the rock. The people that took care of me did a great job and got me back on track."

And the star admits that his health scare has taught him to make the most of life.

He adds, "Life has been tough enough that honestly, throughout my life I've always really valued the good days. I had a nice reminder of it by virtue of having a heart attack.

"I certainly didn't want to be a statistic who died at 53. If I can have several years ahead of me that I hope are full of life and love and some artistic reward, that's what I value."
