Heart attack update

[comrade simba]

Looks like I'm out of the woods. Had a non-reaction to the anticlot medication so the stent reclogged and I had to go through the whole thing all over again 4 days later. This time during prep for the cath insertion the heart went bazzoo and out came the jumper cables. MAN, THAT HURTS! Had to zap me three times.

 

Now, I've been in some "spots" in my less than monkish life but I think that counted as close to dead as I've gotten.

Newbs - I smoked heavy for 40 years since I was a kid. I'm alive. Quitting was worth it. And if you haven't been smoking that long well, I wish now that I hadn't either. You don't want the jumper cables... :-D

Ouch...!

 

Glad that you are through the worst of it, and can finally be on the road to recovery... I'm glad I quit, because I don't want no jumper cables!

[Tink]

[sharonsiff]

So glad that you're out of the woods.

[Fay]

Glad to hear things are better now.  Take care of yourself!

[Chrysalis]

OMG, Comrad, I'm so sorry that you had to endure all that! I didn't know that someone could be a "non-responder" to anti-clotting medication. I guess that's a good thing to know.  :(

 

You must be one tough dude to go through all that and come out swinging. Take care of yourself, you hear? And let us know when you're home shuffling back and forth to the refrigerator again. 

[El Bandito]

Yikes!

 

Shocking.

 

Keep cool Comrade - sounds like all is OK now though...

[Leanna]

Oh wow.

 

Glad you're okay Comrade!

 

The jumper cables sound incredibly painful. :( Sorry you had to go through that!

[Doreensfree]

Wow......scary........

Hope it's not long till your back to full health....

[Paul723]

I hope you've seen the last of the hospital for a long time!

[Nicole Diver]

Glad to hear that you survived that. Sounds terrifying, I don't know that I'd be tough.

You and Aine will be around a long time now I think.

[queen greenlover]

I hope you have better luck with Plavix or whatever they used on you & what you may be on for a few yrs. Sooooooo sorry you had to go thru another stent placement & the jumper cable thing would be so scary.

[Pippa]

Hey Comrade glad you are on the mend and that you made it through what must have been a terrifying experience !

[SueBeDoo]

Jesus you don't do things by halves, yep I don't think you could have gotten any closer to slicing with the other side.

Seriously did you have any visions, anyone come to you, anything?????

Must have been soo scary and poor Aine must have been terrified, hope your both ok now,

Wishing you a speedy recovery x

[Still winning]

Oh hell fire comrade! You knew as well didn't you.....

 

So pleased you are out of the woods and recovering. x
