My chest and both arms had been hurting for 3 days but it would t ease up at times. Well it took a turn for the worse yesterday. I went to our local hospital and the doctor said it was a really bad one. They put me in a helicopter and flew me to Nashville. Getting good care but a bit concerned. They said my heart was only pumping at around 25.%. They moved me to ICU and put a catheter in my neck going to my l heart. They said this was a STEMI type and it was the widow maker.

I would appreciate any prayers or positive thoughts.

    Geez man
    Left anterior descending

    What’s the catheter from your neck to your heart? A central line? A swan glanz?

    The one thing that worries me is you said 25% ejection fraction....

    Widow maker survivor here 1.5 years. You will leave there with some stents and a life vest. Hopefully after rehab you get that infraction rate over 35 to avoid a implant defibrillator.

    You got this, pulling for you man.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you. I suffered the same heart attack 13 years ago. I suffered a sencond heart attack in 2014. Do what the doctors say,and you’ll be up and around in no time. Trust me. I’m a letter carrier. I’m 57, and walk 5 miles a day. Like I said, do what they say! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant
