First I'd like thank everyone for their prayers and well wishes (I think they worked).There to many to list them all separately so thanks to all of you.
The whole thing started with classic heart attack symptoms,,chest and jaw pain along with nausea so we called 911 and I was taken to the local Hospital in Bolivar Mo.. After sitting there for 6 hours one blood test and two EKG's they decided I had something wrong with my heart. So they put me in an ambulance and sent me to another bigger hospital 35 miles away in Springfield MO. (yes I have a lawyer).
I was in this new hospitals emergency room for five minutes and was taken immediately the their Cath Lab and had two stints put in, I had one artery completely blocked and one partiality,(I have before and after xray pics I'll post later).
Well after that things were going pretty good until I was doing physical therapy (walking up and down the hall) and I crashed totally,, after CPR and a couple of shocks I was back again. They said I was dead for a couple minutes.
They took me back to the Cath Lab to check my stints and they were fine so after a few more test they decided I had an arrhythmia and needed a pace maker/defibrillator put in.
Before they could do that i developed a bleeding ulcer,they ran a scope down my throat and got it to stop bleeding long enough to get my pace maker in. While I was recovering from that the ulcer burst again,but this time I was bleeding almost faster than they could pump it in.So it was off to emergency surgery where they removed the ulcer and sewed the hole, it took 9 units of blood and 4 bags of plasma to replace what I lost. With recovery time this all happened it about 2 1/2 weeks. In that time my muscles went to shit and I couldn't stand or walk.
I spent the next 20 days in rehab learning to walk again and build up a little strength.
I'm home now and walking but still doing physical therapy.
That about covers it,,What did I miss here?
