Gotta tell ya -- Not Good
-
Dam not a good Thursday Night / Friday.-- Thursday Night during and afterwards from the game , was having this stabbing pain from my arm pit to my elbow on my left side, not good but just tried to ignore it.
Fridy morning it started in again only harder, and on top of that my BP was whacked , as I knew that as I’ve had this issue for ever, they got me on all kind of medication for that , for high and low BP both.
Well time to take the dog out but felt like I was going to pass out so I went down to the floor till I felt safe to get back up /stand up , let the dog in managed to get back to the living room told the wife he dog eas all here to kennel up and just collapsed in the recliner .
I guess I passed out, as the wife said she yelled at me- -screamed- -hollered-- hit me on my chest – and nothing from me, turned a pale grayish/white she said.-- -So I finally came back around she called AMR they came did a EKG , and told the supervisor my Heartbeat was racing all over the place.-- Well normally they ask if I wanted my wife to drive me in , or if I felt like I needed to go-- -not THIS TIME , they just said where we going? Then preceded to just pick me up , got me on the stretcher and off we went.
Long story short Hospital Doc ran CT Scan on my head- - -Chest X Ray- -EKG’S-- and blood work multiple times- - plus some test multiple times to check enzymes’ to see if building up in my heart that could damage the heart,-- All came back good , and the DR said another case of where I had went into AFIB- - He said I definitely was in AFIB when I came in and some how managed to get my heart back to normal.-- I got really lucky.
Referred me back to my Cardiologist , said we might need to adjust the settings on my Pace Maker, cause I didn’t get shocked when this happened , cause they ran a report on my pace maker it said yes for sure in AFIB – - Relly scared the hell out of me

Hey, that’s a scary story and I’m really glad you are here today to tell it.
Take care of that heart! We’d like you to be here for many more KU tournament runs!

@SlimShaddy54 It takes some courage to tell a story like that. And it makes me think that all the whining I do about stupid things like basketball and work drama is pretty unfounded. Prayers for your speedy recovery and future good health.

@dylans Thanks were trying man

I had a friend whose pacemaker failed as he was walking out of a theater with his wife. He dropped like a sack of potatoes and she saved his life by doing CPR until the ambulance came. He always told the story to include a little joke: when he came to, he said, he was surprised to find out she still wanted him around.
Sounds like your wife worked hard to keep you around. Treat her well!
