I have been to deaths' door several time in my life. Once, teen age, walking across a farm pond nose to water level on the ridges left tween dozier pushes and run out of ridge. Learned to swim with help from two others who could. Stepped over a log squirrel hunting. I out jumped the rattlesnake as Mr. John Sanders blew it away, a lot of leaves and scorched my toes. Rolled a rig in Henderson TN. Filled up in Jackson, man made a left in a bob truck as I was passing, his bumper stuck nice slash in my right saddle as he pushed me off in the ditch to the left. 70 bales of cotton on the flatbed, 120 gallons of regular flowing down the ditch as I climbed out the passenger window. Top of tarped load was 20 feet from the local cotton compress. No smoking occurred while 2 wreckers set me back up. Stuck another tractor under it, never checked chains or tarp rope, took it on to New Orleans...
Went to get a health card in 2012. All good till he re felt my wrist. Said no, you have irregular heartbeat, it actually stops.. a few days later in surgery for 3 bypasses. While in there he did 4.
2014 suffered a stroke on right side. 3 months later recovered almost completely, just could not swallow.
So they punched a hole in my stomach, put in like a tires valve stem and fed me on Similac thru the little hose attached till electric collar therapy got me opened. Happiest day of my life, after being baptized, marrying my wife, and our girls being born normal was the day I swallowed a SMALL SLIVER of ice. They try you with ice as it will melt and dissipate in your mouth before it chokes you to death if swallow fails...
So in Feb 2024, I was exercising under therapy for having no energy. Felt tired that AM and told the therapist I just couldn't pedal the machine.She took my pulse,got 42. Called the in house Certified Nurse Practitioner and she arrived in time to get 39.
Fast calls to local Cardiology elicited that my blood pressure was OK, no fever, I should come in at 8:30 next morning and they would work me in...
Over the next several weeks, cardiogram, echo cardigram, nuclear treadmill, 48 hour Haltom monitor, then it is do a catheterization..Cath showed the main line up my left side of chest 80% blocked.
Stuck in a stent, doubled my Lasix to prevent congenital heart failure, add a baby aspirin.
Still recovering my energy from that, slowly.Sons Hero, 4mer trucker, hope not dumb twucker and 7 others Thank this. -
