MIke....there's a positive in all of that. First, they didn't have to crack you open. 2nd, they probably did angioplasty prior to putting in the stent. You'll be there for the next 72 hours (which are the most critical after the procedure), but you're going to feel much better when they release you.

Take care, but I'm guessing you're in good hands!

On top of all my health problems, I suffered a heart attack at 4:00 AM this morning.  I am in ICU now.

Within 45 minutes of arriving here by EMT, they had me in the catheter lab and performed a coronary catheterization.  My right coronary artery was 100% blocked.  So they put in a stent.  Most of the pain is gone.  The other arteries are 55% closed which is fine.

I'll update with posts as I improve.

We will be praying for you, Mike!

Mike, so sorry to hear of this set-back, but it sounds like you "nipped it in the bud", and probably greatly limited damage to the heart. Actually, the stent and angioplasty are one in the same. You should have a quicker recovery, and feel better sooner, despite the cardiac event. Best of luck, and keep us informed.

It just doesn't stop!  It's one thing right after the other.

I appreciate your thoughts.

At first I thought I was having up upper GI discomfort.  Then the pain got intense like an elephant was sitting on my chest.  I could not catch my breath.  So I called 911.  Our paramedics are rated #1 in the State of Florida.  The 911 operator talked me through everything.  The ambulance arrived in 5 minutes.

They are going to pull the catheter out of my groin in about 30 minutes.  They've been giving nitro glycerine - it gives me headaches.

So, that's the story in a nutshell.

Rains it pours.

ICUs have changed. My retired ICU nurse/canoeing friend would have freaked if someone tried to use a cell phone on his unit. Guess wifi is benign and most hospitals pipe it in now. Still a bit odd to have you posting between procedures. Good way to take your mind off the rest of it though!

Mike, you have been through SO much! I know several people who have stents installed and every one of them recovered quickly and never had another problem. You'll do the same I'm sure.

And, it sounds like you're in great hands!

My thoughts and prayers will be there for you.

The front end grows on you. Or should I say me. On some iA front picture angles it is really rocking my automotive world. A Honda Fit or any other Honda just doesn't start my motor up. Never really has. But I've pounded the keys for years on Edmunds and other car sites expounding my view on imports I like or dislike and I'm not feeling like a bottle rocket fight tonight, isell.

Hey, bottle rocket fights were fun until you get one up your sleeve! Ask me how I know!

It wasn't my goal to offend anyone over my grill comment. I should have said "In my not so humble opinion that grill is ugly"

Iur next door neighbor just bought a new Lexus SUV and it's got that grill and although I still don't care for it, I have gotten used to it a bit. In any event it seems this has become the latest style.

Know all about it, though I never had a heart attack. I had double bypass and valve replacement about 6 years ago. Trust me, you are in for a cakewalk compared to the ordeal I had. You should be fine - actually better than you were before. If you weren't on them already they will want to put you on statins when you get out. Be careful about that. They work miracles on cholesterol, but the side effects can be sneaky.

The other good thing about avoiding the surgery is that you wouldn't be able to drive your nice new Benz for 6 weeks.

Get better soon, Mike!

Curious, anyone know what the little access plate is for on the Scion grill? Seems a bit high for a tie-down for transport, but maybe that's it. Would make a good spot to tie a canoe painter off to, although it'd be better on the passenger side.

My ATS has one of those front and rear. It is a threaded female socket for a towing hook. The actual hook, a big, heavy cast metal thing, is stored under the trunk floor.

stever

Thanks! Some of the transport tie-down gizmos are kept by the dealers and you wind up having to buy one if you want a handy spot to tie boats off to. Don't think those were intended for towing but I don't know.

Thanks, ab!  My cholesterol level is 84 and the cardiologist who did the procedure said my heart attack was caused by plaque from my diabetes.  My cholesterol levels are excellent. 

I have to agree that the worst part of this was the 2-3 hours of pain.

Pretty scarey. There are some areas I wouldn't go with a pocket full of cash to look at a car but CL can be a good source of low end autos if you are careful. With the amount of armed citizen down south a crook would have to be crazy to try a robbery.

I guess if I had qualms about meeting a stranger I would set the inspection up in the police station parking lot or let the seller know that I wouldn't be carrying any money until we had a deal. Then we could complete the deal at a bank or other safe spot.

Can't get over the major technology additions in the new CLS 400.  Every bit of information and data projection on the new larger screen is in Hi-Def.  You can now do a complete systems and engine check via telemetry from the satellite using the  Mbrace telematics.  I can also use my iPhone and the Mbrace App when I am not in the car.

But it definitely takes time to play with the controller and go in and out of the many apps.  It's truly something to behold.

They may not be good for towing, but I used a front end one underneath my '91 Sentra to help pull a stubborn lilac bush out of the ground once.

Mike - so sorry to hear such bad news. With Stents and medication one can live a fairly normal life. My wife who had 90% arterial  blockage seven years ago is doing fine with two Stents.

Holy smokes, Mike. I'm so sorry to hear about the tauma but I'm genuinely grateful you're around and able to post the story. Sounds like you did everything right after the attack started. Going forward are they going to try and control plague buildup with prescription drugs? How about monitoring those other arteries that are partially clogged? What a scary event.

Thanks, verdugo.  Luckily they have WiFi for the patients and guests.

It's eerie here in ICU - I have the same nurse who cared for my Dad his last day or two here.  I even have his same room.  Sounds a bit ironic.  

They just recently did another EKG and the results were shocking - no evidence of my having a heart attack.  How can that be?  I had several EKG's done this morning and they clearly showed evidence  that I was having a heart attack.  The cardiologist said even though I experienced a heart attack, it was the emergency catheterization and stent done within 40 minutes of my arrival at the ER that saved my heart.

@tyguy

They are already giving me a statin drug, tyguy.  Also getting oxygen and morphine IV as needed.

Thanks tyguy.

abacomike

More not-so-good news.  They did an ultrasound of my legs last night and found a DVT (blood clot) in my left leg in one of my larger veins.  They are moving me out of ICU and into a telemetry unit.  They now have to deal with dissolving the clot before I can go home.

What can I say?  Each day brings with it worse news.

On the plus side you're in the right place to discover the blood clot, Mike. That's what suddenly took my grandfather's life two decades ago, which happens to be the day after his doctor told him he was just fine during a medical evaluation. Sadly the doc called the day after his death and said he saw something suspicious while reviewing the notes and wanted him to come in for more tests.

Your cars may not get any preventative maintenance, but it sounds like your body is getting a round of that right now. No trading our bodies in before the first oil change

Great news on the follow-up heart tests! I was a little worried about dead muscle following the attack, but it sounds like you're rebounding with minimal to no after effects. That's fantastic.

Yes, tyguy.  I am very lucky.  They are putting me on Eliquis and taking me off Warfarin (Coumodin).  That should solve the blood clot issue fairly quickly.  I also won't have to have monthly blood level tests done.  This DVT is in a new spot in my left interior leg.

Earlier this week our clothes drier went kaput....again. We've owned the current set of washer and drier for 8 years and in at time the washer broke down twice and now the drier twice. We traced the fault to a control board failure, which was the previous problem, so that equates to three board failures on the same drier. Crazy. An extended warranty covered the first failures but not this time.

The first decision was whether to fix or replace. The board is about $200 and would need to be ordered in with a week lead time. That decision took about 1/1000 of a second. No way I was investing more money into those unreliable units. No way.

Next decision was the replacement set. Normally I'm a research freak and would take days to investigate options. With Thanksgiving upon us and a crazy work schedule, I went about this an entirely weird way. The wife and I stopped by a Home Depot while our daughter was in swim practice and simply picked a set we both liked within 30 minutes of arriving. Totally not our style. And strangely liberating.

The only criteria we set were that they had to be made in the USA, be of a certain size or larger, and be efficient. We wound up with the Maytag Maxima, which were on a decent sale.

Many of the washers and dryers are really built well these days. My wife can make a decision on things like that in about 2 minutes....if it has the features she wants and a good brand name she will just buy it. Me, I come from a family who have to take time to decide, do research, check other brands, then ponder for hours or days. Her method is much better for mental well being.......and usually works out fine.

At least yours konked out around Black Friday....there were excellent sales on appliances.

It's only a guess but I nyou made the right decision to buy new and not fix. 8 years, you pretty well got your use out of the old one (way less than $100 a year to dry your clothes), and if the drier broke down again you would be out almost the price of a new one.

We bought our current washer dried about 8 years ago. Whirlpool Cabrio -- electronic controls. No problem. The guy at the repair parts store had warned me about electronic controls in appliances giving lots of trouble: he know because he sees how many go over the counter to retail customers as well as the repair guys, who mostly pick up their parts at the 3 locations around the area. I bought the 5 year add on warranty. First time I had done that. Never had to use it. Made in USA

We bought a washer/drier for son when he moved into his apartment. Picked ones without electronic controls. Maytag. Sale price. Glass top on washer like our Cabrio model. So you can watch the suds. Made in USA

Friends who moved to South Carolina dumped their LG or Samsung fridge because of trouble getting repair and parts. Local guy is service authorized, but he has trouble getting parts. Problematic.

Sorry to learn but glad you didn't just try to ignore it and called for help. Sounds like you have excellent care and hope you are back on your feet soon. As I'm sure you learned from you experiences with your dad, don't hesitate to ask questions. Take Care.
