One year ago today..
 

I had a heart attack and did the whole 911 ambulance ride to the ER routine. They jammed a stent up my leg into my chest and heaped piles of drugs on me.

They say 15% of heart attack victims who survive have a second fatal attack within the first year. So I'm just sayin woohoo! I made it! :winkwink:

Stay healthy, friends! :pimp

Congratulations. I'm glad you are still here with us.

Have you modified your lifestyle at all?

Been walking every day for the last 3 months. Dropped some pounds, and also feeling better.
I have never had a heart attack, and the walking is to help prevent it.


what statins do they have you on.

Wow, good stuff Tom!!! Here's to a long and healthful life man!!!!

Well for me, my diet was never terrible to begin with so I guess you could say I was lucky to not have to make any huge changes there. Just added more fruit and vegetables. The more colors the better pretty much.

Quit smoking was a big deal as I smoked since I was about 13 yrs old (I'm 43).

Getting my ass moving was another big thing as I was very sedentary all of the time. So I walk everyday, and make choices like parking far from the store and walking ya know, simple stuff like that.

My prescriptions are basically lipitor, plavix, aspirin, metoprolol and lisinopril. Yep, I take a drug that has "lol" in it, heh.
:pimp

Good shit, glad to hear such positive news.

May this be the first of many, many more yearly "anniversaries" for you :)

Amen to that, sister! :thumbsup

Good for you mate! :) Nice to hear!

Stay healthy! :winkwink:

Ditto !! :thumbsup
