I was gone for a while

Post by Travlin » Tue Sep 01, 2026 8:33 pm

In case anyone wonders or cares, I spent most of August in the hospital and they told me I had a heart attack. After a lot of frustration and five stents I am finally back home as of Sat. August 29 about 3 pm. The Docs said no heart damage .

Pretty scary. Glad you are back home, and here.
Hope you are stable and remain that way. Glad there is no damage.

Glad things turned out okay. Make sure you follow the docs recommendations, you don't want a rerun.
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

August must have been a long month for you. I know you're glad it's behind you and glad the MD's said no heart damage.

As BOM said, follow the MD's guidance.

Good news, Travlin. That was a close call. A month in the hospital is hard to imagine, but I think a small price to pay get healthy again. Glad you're back. Take good care.

Been there, done that.
Back in 2002 during some surgery they thought I had a heart attack. I spent a few nights in ICU and then a week in the hospital.
It was most definitely not fun and it turned out in the end that I had not had a heart attack after all.

Glad you're OK.

Thanks to all for your good thoughts and prayers. I seem to be making a little progress everyday. As a 32 year Mason, I can say that my Lodge Brothers have been amazing in all the help they have given my wife and I.Eveything from taking care of my yard to transportation Drs. the grocery store for the wife who has conditions rendering her unable to drive in the local traffic.Plus many visits while I was still in the hospital.
