Some of you may have noticed that I havn't posted or been on the forum for the past several days. Well, Tuesday night after watching the Olympics, I went to bed about midnight. I began to feel some pretty severe heartburn so I got up and took an antiacid. That didn't heip any at all; in fact it got worse. I decided to call 911 and a squad came to check me out. The EKG looked OK but they decided to transport me to the ER anyway. Five minutes after arriving at the hospital, I coded and they had to start CPR and shocked me twice. I was gone for 3 minutes before being revived. I had a very vivid "dream" while dead but came to with a nurse standing over me asking if I knew what had happened. I thought I had only been dreaming and didn't know anything they had been doing to revive me. I was immediately taken to the heart cath lab and a double stent was put in to repair a 100% blockage to my circumflex coronary artery.
I recovered quickly and came home last night. I would have to say that "time" has a new meaning to me after the experience but I am sure glad I am able to post with my buddies once again.
