Prayers needed for one of our own

[Justins00ss]

Damn it man! Been off for a few days working etc etc. Just now seeing this. Brandt take care brother. Wishing you a speedy recovery and glad you are still here with us! I think I speek for everyone when I say that I enjoy your threads. Did they happen to say what may have caused this?

They really have no idea. I mean I`m a smoker (well ex smoker now) but I dont drink much and I do not eat fast or processed food. They said i probably had some random genetic predisposition.

Initial private er shipped me to hospital for heart attack and later that day two docs said "no way you had a heart attack"

Then they did the cardio cath to check and found all kinds of bad news.

Both of those doctors came and apologized to me and I said hey ok,it`s ok, that`s why it`s called practicing medicine.

I misdiagnose which ball joint was creaking on a car, or someone’s Check Engine Light comes back on for something unrelated to what I fixed, and I get strung up by the customer like I’m the worst guy in the world. You have 2 Doctors miss that you had a heart attack, and ... You’re a top shelf dude, man. This is why we’re glad you’re sticking around!

Other than meds, was there any talk of what lies ahead long term?

As much as it’s kind of frustrating that it’s not like you were chain smoking in McDonalds parking lot before heading to the bar before; at least it sounds like you won’t be having to make huge life changes to keep yourself healthy.

Take care of yourself man. I’ll definitely keep you in my thoughts.

Overall that`s a good thing, right? Compared to "oh gee, what can we do about ..[uncommon problem].." it`s blocked arteries that oughta respond to conventional treatment, right?

[RaydiantDetail]

Whoa, I just saw this post!
Glad you are doing better Brandt. Take care of yourself and rest/ heal up.

[JustJesus]

Scary stuff!!!!

Brandt, aw man. I read through all the post and was hoping for the best as I read along.

Hard to believe with the scary/crazy/etc going on, you were on here cracking jokes (iPod one really cracked me up).

Glad to see you didn`t need surgery. You`ll be in my (and wife`s) prayers.

One was 100% blocked, they put a stint in there.

A few others were clogged up about 40%

They`ve been coming in all day, someone new, telling me what to expect coming forward.

Kind of overwhelming but I have to make some changes, even though there`s really no "this is what caused the heart attack" statements.

They upgraded me to a newer ipod
Not touch screen tho

Jokes are just part of my personality.
Hell, I was trying to sell the surgeon CSL+EXO for his ride before they drugged me up for the cardio cath.

It`s a pretty safe assumption cholesterol was a factor, and of course smoking. Good luck with the quitting by the way. At your age I assume you`ve tried at least a couple times along the way. It`s definitely tough. Hopefully the added incentive will be a help. You`ll have a few days start when you get out, that helps. Just don`t fool yourself into thinking it will be ok to have just one.

Yes I know it`ll be tough but I read somewhere it takes 7 days for nicotine to get out of your body so I`m already 4 days once I`m released.

To be honest I`ve been looking for a reason to quit, and if a heart attack at 34 isn`t sufficient enough then I dont know what would be.
