Dodged another big one but the bills are going to kill me
loaderXI and 6 others reacted to PHUCKITMAN for a topic
Friday morning 5/24/24 at 7:30 am while at work I started feeling lots of chest pain and thought it might be heartburn so I tried to get my day going. Within a few minutes I started feeling sweaty and the pain got worse. I have been thru this before so I went in to my Bosses office and sat down and told him I couldn't do my job the way I was feeling because it wasn't safe. about 2 minutes later I asked him to please call 911 and I took a nitro tab and removed my dress shirt. "Didn't want it cut off me". Lucky for me the Fire Department is only about 10 blocks straight down the street and before he was off the phone we could hear the sirens. The Paramedics ran a tape on me and told me I was having a Massive Heart Attack and transported me the 1/2 mile to the hospital ER where I stayed for about 10 minutes. Time is crucial in this sort of shit. I was in the Operating room is less than 20 minutes from the 911 call and the Dr.'s spent the next 2.5 hours working on bring me back. From what I have learned so far I had a "Plaque Rupture" in my Aorta meaning the plaque rupture the blood vessel wall and caused a major blockage to the main flow of blood to my heart and also sent clots into the lower chamber. They were able to put in a Stent and break up most of the clots while in the Cath Lab without having to cut open my chest. I sent the next 24 hrs. in ICU because they had to give me a Heparin IV to quickly thin my blood so the clots would break up rather then travel to my brain and cause a Stroke. The next 2 days were in CICU to monitor my recovery. Needless to say my Wife was frantic about seeing me like this and in much worse shape then before during my previous attacks. Good news is both my other Stents are just fine but this new one is in a major area. I had quit smoking cigs 14 months ago because of the last one but my body just makes plaque regardless of what I eat or do. I am now home where I am much more comfortable and with the love of my life and if I keep getting better I can return to work within 14 days or so? However it is hard to keep my stress level down when all I can think about is the medical bills that will start arriving soon and the money I am not making while at home resting. The thought of us losing our home among other things is driving me crazy right now. I would rather leave this earth with her having our home and some savings than to be here and her become homeless. If you smoke please stop, if you eat poorly please try to eat better and if you don't exercise at least try to walk 30 minutes a day. Do this not for yourself "it will help you" but do it for those who love you and cherish you. Tell those you love those words as often as possible because you never know what your final words to them might be or when you might not come home from work. Peace and LOVE to you all.7 points -

I just noticed the taco bell sauce. If in your area give the Ortega brand a try. I think that's were Taco Bell got their flavor from and it taste better if you drink it. Try drinking 25 packets of Taco Bell Sause. It's nasty and I did it on a dare back in the 90's. Take a gulp of Ortega's... yumm yumm.1 point

Seen all these salads so I made my own. Condom mints not shown which was barbecue sauce and ketchup dripping to the point it made a mess hence the foil. The patty with Colby cheese is for the dog as she only gets the good quality cheese. Mine's that tasty Mexican Style Velveeta. Both patty's seasoned pink salt. After a hard day playing with rocks, dirt and sitting right next to a pretty friendly Rattlesnake.... the salad was great. Thanks for the idea Chefs.1 point -

Hi all my wife came home Tuesday and is doing well, She is still in pain but her spirits are high. What has really helped is all the well wishes and yesterday one of her colleagues from school brought her a gift that really made her day.. Get well messages from every child in the school over 300 her teaching and working with kids means everything to her so this was very special. A simple thing like this helps so much with her recovery. Well wishing you all the best Baldie1 point

North Korean teachers were required to play the accordion. This musical instrument is also known as the “people’s instrument” due to its convenient size suitable for taking to marches. Students from all schools in the country are required to learn them. This explains why teachers need to pass an accordion exam before they get their teaching licenses during the 1990s.1 point

A janitor invented the flaming hot Cheetos. One of the janitors working at the Frito-Lay plant in Southern California pitched the idea of adding chili powder to the regular product. Top Brass liked the idea and so did many consumers. This leads the janitor to a generous promotion where he is now an executive for PepsiCo.1 point
