Re: Bare Metal Stenting

I forgot to mention the nerve pain I suffered in my chest, for about 2 1/2 years afterwards. It was fucking awful.

I have nerve damage in my right arm and shoulder from the emergency surgery and I'm due to get an MRI on my neck, shoulder an arm and nerve conduction tests in the next few months.

I like to try and make these things "visible" as it's generally forgotten about that I tried to die a few years ago!

Thanks for all your kind wishes and if there's anything you want to know, feel free to ask!

Re: Bare Metal Stenting

You know, I transport enough MI patients straight to the cath lab from the ER (I'm a flight nurse) and it's really cool to hear what it's like on the other side.

Glad you're alive, mate. Whoever your nurse was should feel ashamed as fuck for that sloppy arterial line dressing.

In their defence, it was in the middle of being cleaned and re-dressed, but it was pretty damn messy.

Lifting off clots that looked like sundried tomatoes.

Our cath-lab is open Monday through Friday from 9a.m. to 5p.m.
And it's an hour away if you drive like you're driving a stolen car !!!

Re: Bare Metal Stenting

...
Since then, I've run a 10k road race and a half marathon in aid of Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland, completed over 100 parkruns and can pass my Royal Marines Personal Fitness test (2.4k personal best run) in less time than a 30-year-old gets.

Up yours, heart attack.

Thanks for reading!
That was an amazing account of a terrifying personal encounter! I'm so friggin' glad you made it and have been in great health since!
