Heart attack
« on: December 09, 2012, 01:38:00 PM »
Last Monday an ECG showed I had had a heart attack in the past months.  Straight to hospital (we have a fantastic public hospital system in Australia) and a stent inserted in partially blocked artery.  Now back home and recovering quickly although I've got take it easy for a month or so (can't drive for two weeks!!).  The worst part was I couldn't shave for a few days and it was a relief to take the razor to my head and make it smooth again.

Good to hear that's you're on the mend.

I can relate to the few days of shaving skipped. Been down with flu this past week and did not feel like shaving. But got a complete head shave this morning before church. Ahhh!

Man, a lot of hair grows in just 7 days! I had to get the clippers out first, then shave!

I'm sorry to hear about this, but at least it sounds like it was a mild one.  Take it easy and do everything the doctors tell you and I'm sure everything will be fine.  My dad had a heart attack about 3 1/2 years ago.  It was worse than what yours sounds like because there wasn't any doubt about what was going on.  He got two stents and it took him a good while to get back to normal, but eventually he did.   I'm sure you will, too.   Take care.

Thanks everyone.  I really do feel fine but have to be careful until the heart tells me it has recovered.  I just hope it doesn't stop me travelling (no doubt the travel insurance companies will have me as a marked man).  At least it hasn't affected my ability to shave my head!

Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.
Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

I wouldn't worry about the traveling. It hasn't stopped my dad.
