HeartAttack. Had me one.
« on: November 02, 2012, 12:33:47 pm »
I had a heart attack Tuesday.  Had to have a stent put in my heart.
Got home yesterday around 2:00 PM.  I feel better.  Much Better.
Will have to attend "heart rehab" three time a week for the next six weeks.
My heart was damaged.  Dont  know how bad at this time. My EKG signal is still normal so my heart has a good chance of healing back to 100% or close to it.
Will be on blood thinner for a long time. Maybe the rest of my life.  Dr. said I should have a normal life span.

Will be off work for at least two weeks while I build up my stamina.

Pray for me and please pray for my dear wife as she will have to keep me in check for quite some time.
This hunting season is most likely lost.

Just terrible.  Thank God things aren't worse off, though.
Prayers for a quick, uneventful recovery, David.

You got it - good luck with the recovery! Will pray for your wife too - nothing worse than a "macho outdoorsman" stuck in the house - kind of like a dog with a collar of shame! >:D

Dang David, you are way too young for that. Take care and do what the Dr tells you. I'll be thinking about you.

Better to give up one season then all of 'em!

Feel better soon, ok?

Sorry to hear that...  Be extra careful on those blood thinners. A fall or a cut can be a big deal. Rest up get healed this season for a lifetime of other seasons....
Inspiration, information and instruction by the ton and it's free,,, such a deal :)

Praying that you make a full recovery.

Thanks for the prayers guys.  I knew I could count on you guys.

I slept for 10 hours Thursday night.  When I woke up...  I felt like I only 25 years old not 47.
My arms and legs don't feel heavy anymore. 
I slept for 9 hours last night. 

Don't have any stamina yet and want do anything strenuous until I get to rehab.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers guys.
