My Weeklong Absence
I haven't been around for the past week due to my first heart attack. I went to my barber and immediately went into cardiac arrest. Fortunately there's a fire station a few hundred feet away and the EMT's were there in a few minutes. According to them I was dead for three minutes. Spent a week at the South Shore Hospital (Mass. has great hospitals) where the staff and my roomie in the hospital room could not have been nicer and very professional. The only bad thing - I now have a defibrillator in my upper chest. I'll take that over being dead at 53.Lessons to be learned - it's all about diet and not smoking cigs all the time, which was interesting because I stopped four months ago, and I've so far resisted the usual tax season pack of smokes a day. Fortunately, news of my death was greatly exaggerated! Posted by: Raj 2018-04-13 |
