Almost lost the Old Walrus last week.........
Well last friday I spent 13 hrs in the Emergency Ward at the Biloxi VA......... Went in concerned about the edema I was having on my feet,(couldn't get my diabetic shoes on) so I was wearing my oversized Clogs........I had the chest xray and EKG when they started to run a fire drill on me after my blood work came back....... First,they put me on oxegon,then they had me chew up an aspirin and drink a little water........I was then admitted into the hospital and had my blood work done again.......... The doctor then informed me of my recent "heart attack"!........ Yep,thats right,it's called a "silent" heart attack and it's just as deadly as the one I had 38 years ago......... After several tests earlier this week it was determined that the blockage that was sustained wasn't as severe as they originally suspected..........So,I was released today and I'm on my way again........ For those of you,like myself who never heard of this type of heart attack,possibly maybe Crip or one of the docs(Red Flag 1)will give a description of what it is........
