Tim Gratz Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I found this post from Jack White on the "Assassination Research" forum. He had a massive heart attack recently. We wish him well. Seven days ago I was planting several Persian Shield plants in my shady hillside flower garden. (a persian shield has bright purple leaves with green and silver veins.) Though it was well after 7 pm, I suddenly started SWEATING, profusely and feeling weak. I had NO pain of any sort. I thought maybe the Luby's fried okra I had for lunch had given me an upset stomach. I went inside, bathed, and lay down...but in a few minutes I was feeling very sick...NO PAIN, but VERY VERY sick. I told Sue we needed to go to the emergency room at once. We arrived at Harris ER about 9:30 and I underwent an exam by 9:45 and the cardiologist said "Sir, you are having what we call THE BIG ONE! Your main coronary artery is blocked, and we must install a stent immediately to save your life!" Forty-five minutes later I was in ICU, where I spent the next five days, plus two more days in the main hospital. Not a pleasant experience, but I am alive to tell about it. I wish to thank all of you who have responded with emails, calls and cards and kind thoughts, as well as to explain why some of you have not heard from me lately. And some of you may just be interested to know. I am also here to tell you: not all heart attacks have the "classic" symptoms of intense pain, pressure, etc. My ONLY symptom was profuse SWEATING and a weak feeling. So don't misdiagnose yourself. If you start sweating heavily and feeling weak, head for an ER at once...better a stent than having people say, "My, don't he look natcheral in the casket!" A week out of your life is not bad for saving it. My prognosis is good. In two weeks I should be "as good as new" since the doctor said we caught the problem before muscle damage occurred, and xrays showed only one artery involved. For the second time, my life has been spared by a miracle, I hope to serve some great purpose. Thanks for being my friend. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL Allen Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I've heard of "Get Me To The Church, On Time..." - but, this is ridiculous! Good job on self-diagnosis and doing the right thing with no time to spare. Keep on "dodging"... Serpentine, Jack!!! Serpentine!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
