Guys please pay attention to subtle hints your body gives you in anything you do especially while setting traps or and physical activities. I haven’t felt good in a long time even while setting traps I had subtle hints, but passed it off as being heavy. Cleaning out the garage a few weeks ago I had a discomfort under my left shoulder blade that would radiate to my chest. I was short of breath a little it was really no big deal. Second day same thing again, no big deal. Called that Monday and set up an appointment with the heart doctor. He was not alarmed said it was probably because I put on some pounds after my knee fiasco that I have been dealing with since a year ago and was out of shape causing my heart to work harder. EKG blood pressure and heart rate was excellent. We still set up a nuclear stress test for last Wednesday. Got a call that afternoon they had found a small abnormality. We set up a heart cath for this past Tuesday. They found I had 2 95% blockages in the LAD (widowmaker) artery!!! He put a long stent to cover both blockages. I was absolutely floored. It’s been two days and I feel absolutely great. I can actually breath again. I don’t know how close to death I was, but feel like I would not have made it another year. Please pay attention to anything that feels different with your body it may save your life. Hopefully I will be back seating traps soon.
