Thank you all for your well wishes

Crazy thing is that I already have what a lot of people would call a pretty darn heart healthy diet. Heart disease is strong in my family though, and it builds up gradually until one day you're sweeping your kitchen floor and wham, clutching your chest in agony and dialing 911..

At one point when I asked a doctor if I could get the arteries checked, then wait a couple of days so I could talk to my family and such.. he said well Tom, alot of people who come in with this significant of an event can't talk at all anymore, so I recommend we find the blockage and open it up right NOW.. So I was all for it.. and thats what we did.

I have a stent in the artery now, since one of the 4 major vessels was completely blocked. Also plenty of drugs to take everyday. Luckily a hot young doctor hooked me up with a 30 day supply of the 2 most expensive (lipitor and plavix) for free

Thanks again Greenguy and Jim and everyone
