[Paddlewise] Had a bad Friday

On Friday morning an elephant sat on my chest, at least it felt like so.

Heart Attack!

Within half an hour I was in the hospital, and the epert team saved
my beans.

If I had lived alone I be dead by now, but I don't, and after trying
my migraine medicine (I had had a similar event a week ealier that my
doc thought might have been an attack of abdomial migraine), my wife called
for an ambulance, an the first EKG in our bed proved that expert care was
needed, so the ambulance was redirected from the local hospital to 
the main hospital. And indeed, did they do their best, and saved my bread ;-)!

'Ten pills a day keeps the doctors away!', is the new slogan for me,
actually 12, but the two in the afternoons I tend to disregard!

Got home Yesterday, and am a bit dizzy, having a slight fever. But I am ALIVE!

According the the doctors, that did all kinds of tests, scanning X-rays,
scanning ultrasonics (thanks, General Electric) and many I don't have an inkling
of what they were, my heart was pronounced without damage, the clot evidently had
dissolved/dislodged, when I got the very first treatment in our bed at home.

Shaken, but not stirred!
