Healing vibes Warp!

I had also assumed that you were busy with family. Relieved that you pulled through like a champ with so little damage.

Warp,

Glad you came through in good shape. I had a heart attack in March of 2004. No by-pass, but have three stents now. My attack came suddenly and I did have a small amount of heart muscle damage.

I recovered well and the event has had zero negative impact on my quality of life.

Best of luck during your recovery period.

Here's wishing you a full and speedy recovery. As GSS said, we certainly are fortunate to live in a time where the technology is available to treat this. Take care of yourself.

Damn, glad you made it through. I'm sure you'll be good to go once the snow starts falling (in September, up there...)

glad to hear things are going as well as can be expected. i don't think i could have peeled myself off of the course one hole after scoring a birdie. a wise move.

i realized i don't know much about the "warning signs", and did a little research. i hope i won't need to make use of this knowledge some day, but thanks in advance, just in case....

feel better.

I didn't really notice you gone anywhere in particular except the golf thread and the British Open thread.

Your absence in those two threads was glaringly obvious, but the optimist in my figured you were off on an amazing adventure some where...

It would break my heart if something happened to you :(
Hope you're hitting long and straight soon!!
((hugs))

And if you're experiencing a heart attack, chew a single adult aspirin (325 mg) as soon as possible. This assumes you are not allergic to aspirin. It will help to minimize the clotting episode of the heart attack.

WARP MY MAN! Sorry to hear of this , but thrilled you are on the optimistic track back. You know, you really need to cut out the high risk sports like golf and get back to something more low-key like skiing. :)
You never know what life is gonna spin for you, I know you live life to its fullest and enjoy it to the max. I am glad you are well. Let's hope the docs keep finding nothing but goodness! Godspeed!

Glad to hear you're continuing to do well!

My father had a heart attack 4 years ago. No typical symptoms, just didn't feel right. Went to the ER (drove himself) and was stuck in triage waiting hell. Got up to leave and that's when it hit... he dropped dead on the ER floor. He was lucky it happened there. They revived him, put in a stent, and sent him to Hartford Hospital in Life Star (helicopter), where more stents were put in. He was awakened from the drug-induced coma on his 51st birthday.

You're already leagues ahead of where he was when he left the hospital. Keep up with what they tell you to do and you'll be fine. Best wishes!
