...but at least I got to ride in a helicopter tonight.


Had some discomfort working out. Shortly thereafter being airlifted to the Cath lab. 100% blockage. Resting in ICU now. Could have been a lot worse.

 

Dr. not the way to miss out , rest in the talented care you have now and don't

stress over a car because it and we will all be here for you , so tend to your

recovery , Did I hear "Dr.'s Orders"

 

Times like these make you realize its just a hunk of metal that you can be without. Have a speedy recovery!

 

Glad you are ok, close call. Get better fast.

 

New style of drug eluting, or plain metal stent? By the way, I am available to take delivery of the new RS and break it in for you.

 

hope they cathed you thru your radial and not the femoral. get well soon

 

Hopefully you don't speak from experience and Dr G's recovery is a lot lot faster than a 991.2 GT3 RS delivery!

 

Wow. Glad to see you resting. Our prayer is with you tonight and until you are out of there. God bless.

 

get well soon!

 

You'll have the best therapy coming soon. Shall I say that you will have a speedy recovery? Best of luck

 

get better soon!

 

Not to get too personal, and glad you're ok. But any warning signs in hindsight that we could learn from? I mean, 100% blockage? And just all of a sudden? Risk factors? Age, family history, high cholesterol etc? These kind of stories scare the --- out of me. Especially if you work out regularly and have no risk factors...

 

I was interesting. I was working out and started to get what felt like a burning sensation in my trachea. I've felt this before when I Would sprint 400s in track practice in high schooler. I was asthmatic then. I didn't think much of it until my TNJ regions started to feel off. Mind you, no real pain, only discomfort. I was weak but had no shortness of breath or diaphoresis. My instinct said to get to a doctor and I went to the walk in center where I knew the doc and asked for an EKG. EKG looked off and I was rushed to my local ER. New ER doc told me my EKG looked ugly and that I was to be transferred. Helicopter to another local hospital and had cathederization through R arm and stent placed. Sitting in ICU now, feeling completely asymptomatic.

Most definitely not the classic, severe symptoms we all read about. Had I tried to "tough it out" things might be very different right now.

 

Oh man, that sounds scary. Get better soon!

 

Smart move not to "tough it out"! Glad you are ok and hope for fast recovery to bring you back in the car! Have to agree with other people that it is scary. Don't know if I would have been smart enough to go see the doctor .....

Good luck Dr. G and all the best for you and thanks for sharing because it could help others to survive knowing about these things!
