Just wanted to drop in and say hello to you guys and give you an update, I've been quiet on this for a while because of my prior position,
This old dog has learned a new trick and I have to bite my tounge to keep from screaming about it!
I've been on the Oxy Contin for months now and I haven't had an attack in over 2 months now,(a cluster anyway) unfortunately my heart had Ideas of it's own.
I have been having pain in my heart area for about a month an I tried to ignore it, thinking it was just a pulled muscle. June 16th was my 29th wedding anniversary and on Fathers day morning my family here had taken me out to Denny's for an early breakfast, I haven't been sleeping for days and the pain had increased dramaticly over the past few days. well you guessed it, I had a heart attack at Denny's and had to be carried out and taken to the hospital in an ambulance, Turns out that about %30 of my heart isn't getting any blood and I'll be getting cathitered on or before the 4th. I just got home and after 3 days of lying in the hospital bed waiting for the test results, They say I havea huge amount of scaring due to a previous Heart attack that I didn't even know I had had, so My friends I might be a little wuiet here for a week or two, but as soon as it's done I'll be back to let everyone know how I'm doing, (You all have been in my thoughts the entire time!) Love you all! Pappy
