Today I woke up, gave my wife a kiss and told her happy 26th anniversary.

Last Wednesday around 11am I was laying in my moms driveway praying and hoping the ambulance would get there in a hurry.
When they got there they put me in the back, hooked me up and then told me what I figured was happening [but hated to hear at age 47] that I was having a massive heart attack and they were going to try and get me to Denton as fast as they could.
Well, praise to the Lord we made it to Denton Regional and they were all ready waiting. I remember some that was going on but what I remember the most was the Dr talking to me and my chest not hurting anymore. He said I had 100% blockage of the left anterior descending coronary artery but was able to get a stent in. They say it will be a couple of weeks before we will know how much of that heart area is dead and how much will come back.

Thanks to the grace of God and many prayers I feel lucky and pretty good a week later.

WOW! So glad your ok dawg. I'm 47 also and that scare's the begeebees out of me. Prayers for a full recovery and take care of yourself ( there is still a lot of fishing to do yet ).

That's so scary! Hope you get better soon, and my best wishes.

Glad the good Lord took care of a good man. Best wishes and a quick recovery.

I'm glad you are OK.

oh my Gosh!!! I've been in the middle of a move and hadn't been on here for a few days. I'm so thankful you are ok. It sucks that you had a Heart Attack though. I'm 50 and it scares me to death!

Thanks everyone!
Yes,very hard to believe I was at the lake Texoma thing Saturday getting to meet some of you and then in the ICU a few days later.
Like the old saying goes though, "if you want to make God laugh just tell him YOUR plans for the future".

First of all Dowg Im glad your OK. 4 years ago I had 5 bypass. Couldnt yell loud enough to my friends about you have to take care of yourselves. It dont hurt to get checked!! 2 weeks after I got out of the hospital my beat friend Larry died of a massive heart attack.

Will be praying for your complete recovery. Always know that the good lord has control!

Turf,
God loves fishermen!
Glad you're doing better

Glad you are safe and recovering. I am 49 just getting to the point where I kiss the clock every morning I wake up. I wish you many years of life and of course TIGHT LINES!

Turf Dawg very glad to hear you are ok, guess you were lucky and were given a warning.
Make the best of it. Like you said do God's will not your own. All the best for the future.

Hang tough and have a good recovery..God Bless our doctors and well wishes to you

Wow! Just saw this! Glad to hear that the recovery is going well. As others have said, there's a lot more fishing to be done.

Thanks for all the prayers, wishes and kind words. I have been under strict restrictions but Tuesday when I go back I'm going to see if he will let me go fishing some.
