I'm home
Posted: Tue Nov 29, 2011 1:45 am
Hello everyone, I'm home now but I still feel pretty rough, so I'm going to be brief, also they got me jacked up on pain meds so if I sound goofier than usual that is why.
A real quick time line of what happened, on Thursday the 17th I was at work and started feeling real bad, symptoms uncluded lower abdominal pain, nausea, abdominal cramps. I took a short nap, felt a little better and then continued working for the rest of the day. On the way home the symptoms returned and I started to feel really, really bad, when I got home I told my wife to take me to the ER. I knew something was very wrong but had no clue as to what. after a barrage of tests they finally figured out that I was having a heart attack. They put a stent in they artery that was blocked shortly after diagnosis. Tests showed that I still had three blockages varying from 70% to 100% that would require open heart by-pass surgery. Went in for triple by pass surgery wednesday (the day before Thanksgiving). They said that I did really well and the prognosis looks great. I would like to thank everyone for keeping in thier thoughts and wishing me well and a special thanks to tommyboy for keeping ya'll up to speed through this ordeal. I need to rest now, more later.
