4580 - Heart problems?
Heart problems? Well sort of. Monday night I had bad indigestion. Or so I thought. My wife said call 911! Why? I said. So she called.
The paramedics got here and checked my blood pressure. 225/100. So my blood pressure was a 'little' high. What's the big deal? Off to the hospital I go.
Then a bunch of stuff happens.
I had one blocked artery. But I didn't have a heart attack. I now have a stent in that one artery. And I'm now taking five more medications. Fun.
When I left the hospital yesterday my blood pressure was down to 97/50. With a little help, I can stand up without getting dizzy and falling over.

Oh you silly man, thank God for Claudia or you may not be writing this today. I hope you are feeling better soon!!
Kudos to your wife for calling 911 and glad they discovered and rectified that blocked artery! Feel better soon, you with your new stent and meds.
Take care of yourself, buddy.
I'm glad to see you're back at the blog.
Missed you.
You kid around so much that I kept waiting for the punchline. Took me a bit to get this really happened to you. Glad it was handled so expertly and that you're on the mend.
Not a heart attack? Looks like you dodged a bullet. Hope everything's OK from here on in.
Please take care of yourself, Mike! We need your wacky yet dead-on perspective!
Thank goodness your wife is the smart one! Take care and thanks for the blog.
A little high? That's an understatement! Take care of yourself and listen to your wife and your doctors. I'm glad you got the problem fixed and that you're home again. It must have been scary for both you and your wife.
Oh no! So sorry this happened to you. Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery. Cloudia is right, we need your perspective!
Oh gosh, Mike. So sorry to hear you had such a scare. Glad your wife called 911 when she did. I hope you are better now. Take good care of yourself. Wishing you all the best!
**YIKES** I hope you recover quickly and that blood pressure evens out!
Who is this Dana stranger? I'd given up on you. Now I see you post once or twice a year whether you need to or not. Are you on Tumblr? I dropped Tumblr a while back. Maybe I'll have to sign back up.
