Hey Teddy,
You had a time where a portion of your heart muscle wasn't receiving enough oxygen and subsequently was died or was damaged enough to impeded the flow of electricity through the heart. This flow of electricity is visually represented on the EKG. Silent MI's tend to be more common in diabetics as well.
You probably had what are known as "significant Q waves" on your EKG. Make no mistake Brother, your Dr. was telling you true when he said that these can be (and are) quite the serious deal.
Very happy that you are doing well.
