Thank you all, I appreciate you, but you know that. Didn't mean to drop a nuke before but I have had more wires hooked up to me than a Triple 7 for the last four days and the only sleep I could get was between the dogged attempts to drain my veins dry. I'm home now and so very glad to be.
The week has been a bit of a challenge for me but fortunately not for my Creator.And Nick, I promise you I have been and I will, thank you. Spent Monday pulling everything out of the hangar and polishing the floor, felt fine. Tuesday morning I walked from the kitchen to the shower and felt like I had run a marathon. My chest felt funny, tight and I was very winded. I recovered and took my shower, then headed upstairs to work at my desk for a bit. When I reached the top of the stairs I was close to passing out and couldn't catch my breath. Kept trying to figure out what in the world could be happening. I called my Dr and set up a "virtual' consult but he wasn't available until 5:15 so I took it easy but didn't feel very good and was getting anxious to boot. I asked Sheila to loan me her watch and set my weight and height in it so I could do an ecg out of curiosity, that curiosity and God's Grace saved my life. My Dr called at 5:15 for the video consult, I showed him the ecg, he told Sheila to call an ambulance and give me an aspirin. Me being me, I promised I'd get to the hospital as quickly as possible and we hopped in Sheila's car, she drove me to Baylor Heart, which I photographed last year. Long story short, involving panic, crash carts, etc., the wonderful folks at Baylor Heart saved my life. I was having premature ventricle contractions, "sudden death" syndrome to a layman. Four days on my back and a myriad of tests has determined that my heart is actually in excellent shape, with not a whit of blockage. I'm going to wear a monitor for a week and have a cardiac MRI at the end just to make absolutely certain everything is perfect. My cardiologist says, based on what he knows at this point, I'll be back behind my camera, and in the cockpit in short order, maybe as short as a few weeks. So, feeling very Blessed this Friday and more than grateful to The Good Lord for a "do-over". ...Show more →
i had a heart attack back in 2016, i had MAJOR sweats like i was sitting in a sauna, but minor chest pains, was debating on riding it out when it started as i had no clue if it was something just in my head, but i finally called the ambulance after a few minutes, once they arrived and i got in the ambulance, they did an ecg and determined i indeed was having a heart attack, on the way to emerg, i asked the medics if we could run through a mcdonalds for a cheeseburger on the way, with the lights and siren on, it should be a quick drive thru...sadly no
had a stint put in, after a few days in icu i went home, i was told not to do anything stressful for a few weeks, and that house cleaning was extremely stressful, after a couple days at home i thought how stressful can it be to just pull a vacuum cleaner around...but wow, i found out but least the house was vaccumed 
glad to hear you'll be good to go soon Jim
