About Me

Hello and thank you for reading my story in a nutshell pretty much I woke up on 20 December 2021 with right upper shoulder blade and pain radiating into my fingertips on my right arm for three hours I try to control it with Tylenol didn't work and then ended up driving myself to the hospital with my wife's advice I got to the hospital and sure enough they did to a EKG's one on the back and one on the chest and it showed that I was actually having a heart attack they rushed me in and did the stent placement and then following that I was recovering in ICU for 24 hours The weird thing was is I was awake during the whole thing and it was pretty scary at the time I am fairly young 47 it's been six months since
