22nd of December started running trap and putting in new sets like we all do during trapping season.
By around 4 pm was in the local hospital with a heart attack called the widow maker.
ER doctor knew what has going on as soon as he seen me.
They were hooking me on EKG when i went out on them, after two shocks they brought me back.
Transferred me to another local hospital for stent.

I got another chance chance on life and it was for a reason which I may or may not know when it happens.
Released from hospital on Christmas Day.

Don't take life for grant love your family members and friends.
An early Merry Christmas to you and your families

It was 13 years ago for my widow maker heart attack and stint, when you figure out you were almost not going to be around forever, it changes your attitude. You better enjoy life now. Merry Christmas.

Flipper it does change the way you look at life what is important and what is just nonsense.
Family is definitely more important after not saying they weren't before.
I got released from the hospital on Christmas morning what a great feeling no a blessing

Merry Christmas to you wamp. And many more. To Him all thanks are given. The Lord had other plans for you.
I agree with family being most important. The older I get the more it becomes apparent.

wamp, you are truly blessed.

In 1999 I had an Ascending Aortic Aneurysm repaired... every morning when my feet hit the floor, I give the Lord thanks for another glorious day.

Merry Christmas all!


MAGA!!!
