So I had a heart attack last week (Feb 1)

52. So happy that you're on the mend and

back at work so soon!

I had a major MI exactly 27 years ago ( I was 46 Years old.)
It felt like a nuclear explosion gone off in my chest and when the pain started to travel down my left arm, I knew what it was.
Thankfully I live in a small town and only a few blocks away from the headquarters of our volunteer rescue squad.
The police dept called the towns on the way to the hospital to let them know to clear a path, but when I got to the hospital,because I'm a female they treated it like a panic attack until the EMT from the ambulance advocated for me. I would have died otherwise.


It turned out that I have a coronary aneurysm of the LAD artery and the blood supply to my heart was 99% blocked. I lost 10-15% of heart muscle. Had another MI the next morning.....long story, but they didn't expect me to survive...eulogies were being written...

So, dear dsc, take care of yourself, watch your diet, exercise, exercise, exercise and take your meds. You want to enjoy your new home for many years to come. I've learned to be thankful every day that I'm alive.
