I'm back
I just want to post this as a lesson to everyone here. I'm 54 years old and considered myself to be in good health. Two weeks ago on Thursday, I experienced a burning in my chest. I hadn't been doing anything other that starting the morning which for me involves checking my websites. I opted to allow my wife to take me to the hospital. Things were in and out after that but I have very vague memories of being placed on a helicopter. The following Thursday I learned I was at Penn Medicine without understanding a full week had been lost as I was in an induced coma. They tell me my life will return to normal with time but right now I am very weak. Had 5 minutes anywhere along my process been interupted. I may not have survived.

Welcome back mate and have a speedy recovery so you can get back on here with your expertise.
The old saying is very relevant here and that is "There but for the grace of God go I"

You see? This is what happens when you exercise and eat good food. You should take up smoking two packs a day and driving to the mailbox at the end of the street. It's worked for me!!
Nah, I wish your family and you a speedy recovery.

Similar story in my case, but at age 53. Wife drove me to the local hospital where we waited in line at the ER desk. Was soon on my way to the big city in an ambulance. Was letting stress get to me in those days, but deal with that differently now. Take it easy and welcome back! - Bob
