Gday all
As some of you are aware last Sunday in the early hours of the morning whilst holidaying with members of my family at
Robe in S.A i suffered a very severe hart attack, it is with much gratefulness due to one hell of a great doctor in
Robe i am still alive ..lol...if it wasn't for this doctor and the excellent paramedics who attended me i would not be here right now, anyway , the point i wish to make is that the signs were there for quite a while , and me being a stubborn male , as most of us are, i chose to ignore them ,( some of which i knowingly thought that i was in a bit of trouble )....I was always led to believe that when suffering an attack that you experience pain in the arm ,
well in my case i didn't have any arm pain at all, just severe chest and neck pain , something i never wish to experience again and most certainly hope that none of my friends, family, or anyone for that matter has to suffer what i went through. Anyway people what i really want to say , is that if any of you even slightly suspect something is amiss DO something about it , DONT think for one minute ah its ok , it will go away , cause chances are like me , it wont. Anyway i have been told by my cardiologist providing i take my tablets for the rest of my life , change my eating habits (crikey that's gonna be hard) and drop my excess weight i should go on to live a reasonably normal life , im taking this as a very stout warning and fully intend on adhering to my docs instructions , for time being i also have to control my stress and manage my anger a lot better ...lol..( me ? angry ..never...lol)anyway guys and girls , take care and have a great weekend , and thanks to those that have already answered to Lukes post .......Cheers.....Dave
One mention i forgot is the thanks to the great job the RFDS do , the flight from
Kingston to
Adelaide couldn't have been any better , and it really helps when your in so much pain and you have a great bunch of people there trying to make you as comfortable as possible , and also continuously reassuring you....i know who all my donations will be going to from now on.
P.S....If you ever suffer a attack like
mine , hope like hell you don't have to get member Luke S.A to drive you from the
camp site to meet the
Ambulance in
Robe .....an attack in itself ...lol...sorry Luko
