Okay boys and girls. Mr BullGear has another one for ya. I've been having some high blood pressure issues over the last few weeks. Saw my doctors and I was put on additional meds. Well, Saturday, it felt like someone was stabbing me with a pitch fork in my chest. After an ambulance ride to the hospital, it was determined I had had a heart attack. They do a heart cath and determine I had had a widow maker heart attack. I had 2 99% blockages in my Left Main Artery.
I'm home now and don't feel too bad. Gonna need a lot of rest and then some cardio rehab.
More to follow.
After being home for a few days, I got my lab results, doctor remarks and discharge papers, I gotta say I dodged a BIG bullet.
Right now, my heart is operating at 35 to 40% of capacity. I have no energy. I walk up a flight of stairs in my house and I have to sit down. My blood pressure is about 110 over 60 with some times it's sub 100 over 50s.
I had to talk the doctors into doing the heart cath. They were going to wait until Monday and this was Saturday. I demanded the team be called in and do it that day. The heart surgeon thought it would be okay to wait but I wouldn't have that. The team was called in and the operation proceeded. After I woke from the operation, the doctor thanked me for being persistent. I could have died if they had waited until Monday.
I was on a Nitro drip as well as Heparan. I got 4 bottles of Nitro and 2 bags of heparan.
This was the worst I ever had been, even with the 5 way bypass 12 years ago. I really thought I was going to die.
The Lord is my Savior.
Acts 26 22-23.
Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
