On November 28,2009 the day after Thanksgiving I felt fine got up at 3 am in the morning to hit all the sales and got back home around 12pm moved some furniture around all afternoon that evening around 720 told my husband I didnt feel well could he come in the room with me my arm was tingling, chest hurting, sweating, shaking,throwing up and just sick my husband called 911 they come after doing 2 ekgs and saying I was not having a heart attack ambulance was here I said well if Im not having a heart attack I will just go by car not knowing how close I was to dying and know now that all ambulances are equipped for people who code. They felt like I was ok but my husband may want to take me to hospital and get me checked out so they put me in the car and off we go 40 miles away, on the way I told my husband I dont know where your going or where your taking me but you better hurry because Im not going to make it. I had 2 more episodes on the way to hospital in the car.He got me to the hospital I walked in the hospital ER and I was there just a few minutes they called me in the Triage room where my blood pressure was so low the nurse told my husband to catch me I was going out and I coded right there in front of him. They rushed me to the back doing CPR and chest compressions on my chest I had had a massive heart attack they shocked me 3 times and took me off to the cath lab where I had to have a stent in the LAD (main artery in your heart) it was blocked 99%. Wow God was good to me!!! Just remember dont always believe what the paramedics tell you,Go to ER by ambulance and get checked out the Dr. told my husband one more red light and another minute I would have never made it.. Thank God I just didnt go lay down and hopes that I would feel better I would not be here today to take care of wonderful husband and my daughter whos 13 and a son who's 28. God is GREAT!!!!! My Doctor told us very few people live through a massive heart attack.Im so thankful for all the Drs and nurses who treated me that night I had the best!!!!!!!!!!!
