And you want to know what upsets me most? I missed my daughter's meet last weekend, where she came in FIRST in bars, beam and AA!!

You are such a good Dad. Really glad you are doing well, so great to hear of those tow guardian angles. Crazy that the urgent care didn't call an ambulance for you.

So. Someone from gym delivered dinner to us tonight and mentioned that lots of people on CB were posting messages of support. So I figured I better look. Here is my reacti0n:

That's amazing- so very glad to hear that those guardian angels were there for you.

Thank goodness for airbags, angels, doctors, wives knowing what's what, daughters, medals, gym family kindness, chalk bucket and hearts.

Good to hear a miracle.

I'm going to say one more thing about this and then I will move on.

Since hardly any of you have met me or know me beyond what I post here it is worth saying this. I make an effort to stay healthy. Until last week I did two 1-hour workouts a week with coaches from my daughter's gym. When the weather is better I am an avid bicycle rider. I will go out on a nice weekend day and ride from 25 to 50 miles. When the weekday weather gets better I usually ride 10 to 15 miles about 2 to 3 times before work. My plan for this year was to join a very large group ride that goes across the entire state of Iowa in 7 days (I've done this ride once before....and for those who may be familiar with it, it is called RAGBRAI). I'm not a sit-still kind of person. I may not have the best body shape or idea weight, but I make a pretty good effort. I see a doctor every year to check on my general health, including my heart and blood pressure.

And yet, here we are. I was moments away from death because of a heart attack. Some people have heart issues because of they're sedentary lifestyle. And others have issues due to genetics. I guess I fall in the second category. Don't think that a healthy lifestyle will always fend off heart issues. It just isn't true.

Agreed. I had a heart attack in my mid twenties. I had my wisdom teeth out while visiting my parents and flew cross country to where I was living. The pressure from the airplane pushed a virus into the hole. The virus attacked my heart and a week later I was in the ER. It was scary and painful.
