Enjoyed Fall Camp but it bout killed me :(

had a great time and had been fighting what I thought was a cold and got to feeling bad while there and wound up missin church next day and layin around, got up and went to work monday mornin and wasnt feelin much better and it felt like cold had settled in my chest as it was feelin very heavy. Called doc and was gonna work me in, took blood, ekg, breathing test and chest xray. doc came in room and said passed everything but ekg was not normal, said was gonna confer with another doc for me to just sit tight. 5 mins or so later came back in and said I needed to go to heart doctor in either corinth or tupelo, they thought I was having a heart attack at the time, I decided that I thought Tupelo was the better of the 2. They called heart doc in Tupelo (Dr Gupta) and they were right by my door as they gave the stats to heart doctor. Well anyway after conversation on phone, I was told to call my wife and have her to get over to hospital (Iuka) ASAP that they were gonna fly me :( now Ima get skeert for sure. carried me to ER at Iuka and they went wild and I was buck nekkid for I knew what was goin on.they wouldnt even let me get up to pee, loaded me in Helicopter and flew me straight to ICU in Tupelo :( Tupelo wanted to do heart cath but they had loaded me down with blood thinner and nitro so they couldnt at that time. with their fast response and the Good Lord sending me on to doc that morning, heart attack was thwarted :) tues went for heart cath and 70% blockage on on major artery and all others 30% blocked :( they put the ballon in the 70% one and are treating the others with meds. Finally got home last night and have a laundry list of drugs to take. cant drive, lift anything of any weight until sunday :( I stayed on nitro drip entire time was there. here is a couple of pictures of my arms where at one point I had 5 IV's in there. Just goes to show that cotton seed oil might not be the way to go :) Nah, just kiddin major :) all in all it was a blur for me and now there goes any thought of a new boat :(

sorry to ramble but wanted to share with you all

Be well Larry.

Tell the wife that the doc said the only cure is to fish 5 days a week and prescribed a new Ranger with the new blood pressure monitor option built in.
