You are on my prayer list.
I’m home, surgery went well. I’m feeling sore but much, much better. I took myself to the emergency room Tuesday morning thinking I had an upper respiratory infection. It felt like my lungs was about to explode. Hurt to breathe, shortness of breath and pain going down both arms. Worst pain ever!!! After some blood work and two nitro pills they determined that I was having a full blown heart attack. I still can’t believe it. I’m only 52, not overweight but I do smoke. They took me to Tulsa and at midnight I was in surgery. I ended up having two of my main arteries that supplied my heart valve’s with 90% blockages. I’ve never been poked more times in my life, and I absolutely hate needles. So the good news is that I’m going to be fine plus a reason to quit smoking.
Thanks so much to my Oklahoma shooter’s family.

I’m glad to hear about your recovery and progress!
Dang it all, I missed my "WTF, it's been two whole days and no updates?!? C'mon, man!" window by twelve lousy minutes.
Seriously, I'm glad you came through it OK.

The pain is horrendous...I know.
Glad you're feeling better.

@BUDMAN-BILL, So glad things went well still praying for quick recovery.
As with others, I'm praying for continued good results in your health. When you originally posted, I felt encouraged that you were getting in for surgery because they do wonderful things in heart related things now. Back in about 2005 (give or take a year), my wife had a heart issue. It turned out that she had a blockage in a blood vessel at the back of her heart. The blockage was right at a point where the vessel bent, so they couldn't put in a stent. She now takes a blood thinner and probably will for the rest of her life. She also goes to see her heart doctor regularly.
Be sure and do regular visits back to your doctor as well.
You have been and will continue to be blessed. God is still in charge!
Glad the surgery went well and you're on the road to recovery. Prayers continue. If you need a little support with quitting smoking, give me a holler. You can do it. I finally quit after smoking at least a pack a day for over thirty years. Prayers, brother!
