May 2022

I had a heart attack shortly before Christmas, 2020. I honestly thought the symptoms were some kind of weird Covid thing, but when I got to the local hospital they took one look at me and knew immediately I was having a heart attack.

One artery was 100% blocked. No blockage at all on other arteries. A stent was put in the blocked artery. I spent three days in the hospital, then went home. My wonderful sister drove out (from Kansas to New Mexico) to take care of me a week later. She did a wonderful job.

Modern medicine is wonderful.
