Dooder1 Posted January 2, 2013 Share #1 Posted January 2, 2013 Well Christmas was a great day. Spent with the family enjoying good food and good company. The kids all left in the evening. Sharon and I cleaned up and kicked back and relaxed. I fell asleep on the couch about 10 or so a friend from CA called woke me up. I noticed that Sharon had gone to bed. My friend and I talked about a hour or so had been a while since we had talked. While we were talking I noticed a little jaw pain but didnt think nothing of it. We hung up and I finally fell back asleep. about 5AM I woke with serve jaw pain, arm pain and chest pain. Sharon just happened to wake up and asked if I was alright and I told her I have issues. lol Well smart girl that she is she called 911. First responders were here within 5 mins and I was on my way to the hospital 30 miles away in Mountain Home AR. To my surprise they found 3 blocked arteries in my heart. one 99% blocked which they put in a stint. one 90% blocked to be stinted in the next few weeks and one 45% blocked to be treated with meds. After 3 days in hospital Im home relaxing and feeling so much better. So here is to a better year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbrood Posted January 2, 2013 Share #9 Posted January 2, 2013 A good message to us all... you REALLY can't normally tell that you have major restrictions until they get to that really small amount of passage and then it can hit like a Mac truck... we all should get regular checkups and know what our lifestyles lead to for most. It's hard to give up on some of the tastier things but i'd rather enjoy life on this side of the grass a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
