When I was working on 10/29/09 I thought I pulled a muscle but it
seems I had a mild heart attack. I kept feeling my left hand go numb
so I said after Halloween if it's still going numb I'll go see my doc.
It stopped Sunday but started Tuesday so I went in on Wed. and my doc
sent me for bloodwork at the hospital. He said I'd either be sent home
or I'd be admitted. Had no clue what I'd be admitted for but as I was
talking on my cell a nurse ran out asking for me. She screamed to come
with her because I was having a heart attack. I looked at her and
asked,'ME?? But I have no chest pain or shortness of breath. I feel
fine are you sure it's ME??" I had to have a heart stent procedure due
to a 90% blockage in one artery. The worst part of this all was the
constant needles being stuck in me for blood. Took 2 days in the
hospital and now can't lift anything over 5lbs for a week. Can't
return to work for a week. Have to report any weight gains over 5lbs
in the next week. So I quit smoking, have to rest, can't workout and
have to report any 5lb weight gain, how is that even possible? Anyway,
I'm feeling fantastic and looking forward to this week's vacation!
