Only with me it was 2 arteries and they were 99% blocked. I have low blood pressure, so I barely noticed a thing. Also, I was in Germany, so they kept me 3 days. The doc said a few more hours, a day or two at most, and I would have keeled over from a massive coronary, probably never to awaken. The only thing he said to me in English was "Just in time."

I got 2 stents put in that day. I now count April 29, 2004 as my second birthday. I haven't become vegan as Bill Clinton did (but I didn't have a quintuple bypass, either). But I was told to change my diet, and believe me, I did just that.
