So...I Finally Had A Heart Attack...

[TFM_Dale]

Damn man, very sorry to hear this. Very glad to see you are OK. Sending all the wishes, prayers, good karma, voodoo, whatever it is you believe your way. You are far from miserable my friend and I look forward to seeing you around.

Glad you're okay!

So glad you are ok. At 37 years old I had a massive MI in 2006 . Died twice before they shocked me and brought me back. (Whay I seen while being dead is another story.) Doctors put me to sleep for 7 days and told my family to expect the worst . My priest gave me last rights 3 times. ALL that heartache and pain for my family and I didn't stop using (pain meds)until 2009. Been clean 4-1/2 years now.
Just isn't worth it to beat yourself up along with beating everyone around up .
Life is way to short . Glad you are ok Chef....

That which doesn't kill you does make you stronger Craig.. I'm living proof that one can live a fairly hedonistic lifestyle but still retain a modicum of fitness. The keys are exercise and diet. I eat far more veggies than meat, drink far more water than beer or soda, walk every day, and sleep as often as is practical.

At 46, I'm much fitter now than I was at 30. All the best mate!

Glad to hear that you're OK, Chef.

What a really shitty time you've been going through......

[tojoro]

Well, thank goodness you came out alright through this, Chef...not my business, but, is there any surgery in your future, or was the damage minimal?
(In my book, there is nothing "minimal" about a heart attack.)
Just glad it was you who started this thread...
Be well, Sir!

I've always thought that was kind of a dumb saying...

[Von Halen]

I'll most likely be bludgeoned to death by a metal head or a hippie (or both).

I am going to bludgeon your asshole to death this winter.

You'll understand once you survive teenagers.

You'll understand once you survive teenagers.

I do not anticipate surviving teenagers. I get my ass handed to me by 9 and 4 year old girls. Right now, I'm just a dead man walking.

[Von Halen]

Let this be a lesson to all. It's not just old fat people, like Angel, having heart attacks. It can happen to the young slim ones too.

Glad you're okay Chef. Now do what you gotta do to make sure this doesn't happen again anytime soon.

[sadaist]

Dang Chef. Happy you are still with us. That's some scary shit. Hell, those of us prone to panic attacks already think we are having a heart attack 3 x a week. I don't wanna imagine the pain & fear of a real one.

[ZahZoo]

I was wondering where the next popular trend in attention whoring threads would go at this place... Thankfully this is a significant improvement over those idiotic good-bye threads!!!

Glad you're still in the kitchen and raisin hell Chef Loopy™!!! Keep on cookin, Bro...

[Seshmeister]

Chef I'm sure you have all of this in hand but some life insurance policies with critical illness cover pay out for a heart attack.

I've been toying with the idea of sitting through a 10 hour Sammy Hagar interview marathon to induce a mild one...
