oh,,, i forgot to add

this artery problem i had, is one of "The Main" feeds to the heart,,, & was 100% blocked... totally blocked

& apparently patients with this particular artery at 100% blocked,,,well,,,, they just don`t usually make it back to the beach,,, let alone get an ambulance in time,,,, let alone get to a hospital that "may or may not" have the ability to fit a stent anyways

it really is all pretty damn weird

& My Marly would also like to thank all you guys for the lovely thoughts & kind words too
so thank you all again & again & again
xoxoxox








& again
xoxoxo








& again





& ok that`s enough





ok one more

Wow what an amazing story.

Good luck in your recovery, all the best.

Wow, that was some story Matt

With all those coincidences you obviously were just not meant to go just yet.

Glad to hear you are on the mend and as others have said, anything you need doing just ask.

Cheers
Steve

Mate, what a story, glad you're still around to tell it. You're a tough bastard, that's for sure. Poor Marly, she must have just about had an attack of her own. She's one tuff girl too. Both of you guys hang in there, you'll be sweat, just no rush.

Hey Matt I thought I was dreaming when I read this. I never thought a tough bone like you would go through any crap like this.You have a few more good engine rebuilds left in you. Most people who had this sort of thing happen to them never lived to write their own story of what happened. You are one very lucky man.We wish you a speedy recovery and listen to the Doctors advice if they give you any. Take care mate.

Jeez dude, go easy on the man, he's just had a heart attack & here you're encouraging him & Marly to "be sweat(y)"...

I mean I know it's good for you, but he needs a bit of strength first.




cheers,

It was not your time - Glad you are still here Mate now just make sure you do everything the Doctor says.

Now if he is reading the latest research he will be wanting to get your total cholesterol below 2 - that's right 2 The research as of about 6 months ago has shown that a level under 3 stops further plaque growth ( the stuff that blocks the arteries) but the big surprise was that below 2 the build up starts to regress and the plaque dissolves. Mine is sitting at 2.1 - probably need to loose a bit more weight

err yeah.....sweet I know Jacob, you have this thing about spelling.....

At least my heart is in the right place.....

Ooops, maybe not a good pun atm, but at least Matt is here to rib me about it.

On no, I did it again.....




And Marly (if you read this) Thanks for the Txt the other day

dead right David, ok i`ll re-phrase that--> exactly right
my cholesterol wasn`t high but that`s exatly what they`re aiming at now, added to all the other pills im taking, i`m gunna rattle as i walk with the amount of pills i`m on

just got back from the doc again now, more x-rays & more bloods happening & go back again next week

& yeah Marly is one tough chick, i don`t see her holding on too long tho, she`s got to drop soon, she`ll collapse & have a mental breakdown shortly i reckon,,,, you can`t just watch your best mate die , flat-line, turn blue & some big chick jump up & down on his chest, breaking all his ribs, & then zapping with the jump-leads & not be effected by it ,,, now she`s still in total control organising & sorting & cleaning & & & &

i`m trying to get her to stop, slow down & chill, but she`s a machine or a robot & running on adrenalin or something,,, i want what ever drugs she`s taking
