Had a **** heart attack this morning

I survived it.

Prognosis still uncertain. But I'm thinking fishing tomorrow is not gonna happen

    Oh no! You okay?

    Hmm. On the other hand, there were those Facebook posts where you looked down on my McRibs... who's laughing now, huh???

    Seriously, glad you're not dead.

    There's plenty of fishing for you to do in the future, take your meds and you'll be fine. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

    You still haven't done your AMA thread. I hope they're able to figure everything out and you're on the mend.

    These warning attacks are scary but very valuable. You'll get the right medication and program and be better than ever.

    ****, Scott! I'm suspecting that part of your worries right now concern your mother's death from heart problems at an early age. Treatment has changed so much over the years, though, that full recovery these days is the vast norm, so cheer up and get ready to spend time walking a lot, eating lots of whole grains, and choking down vast numbers of fish oil capsules. Anyway, welcome to the club; my mother's family has a long history of popping off at forty-five or so and I tried my level best at forty-nine, but I'm still kicking at 68 and plan to continue a while. By the time the spring hatches start in, you'll be back on the water. Rest easy and know our thoughts and prayers are with you.

    You hang in there Scott. We are all pulling for you.
    'I've spoken of the Shining City all my political life. …In my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still.'" Ronald Reagan

    Was this after you went to the hospital? I think you said on FB that they thought that was not a heart attack.

    Your in my thoughts and I wish you a speedy recovery.

    If you need me to punch you in the heart to get it running again, I will do it.

    When they were doing the procedure, did they happen to find your godless soul? Haha

    Get better. I command thee!

    Heart sustained minimal damage. No stents or balloons, just 9 months if meds and a lifetime of diet change ahead. But I've done it before I know I can again

    Gotta listen to every well meaning friend who is on the anti-gluten bandwagon tho.

    They still haven't found a soul Hex. But the nurses who have to check the incision on my groin (where they insert the catheter) all laugh at me now.

    Not my fault. It's cold in here!

    Stupid question, for weight loss or ??? I guess I could google it, but is there a link between gluten and heart attacks?

    Some claim that it's toxic to the human system (And apparently for some it is). The list of claimed health benefits is endless

    Tell them you're a grower, not a shower.

    My Sister-in law is hot on the no gluten thing and has been for years, I remain skeptical. Get well Scott, it always freaks me out when people I'm acquainted with of the same age as myself go through this.
