So I had a heart attack a week ago Sunday. [View all]

I'm doing fine, but lifestyle changes have to be done.

It was fucking scary as the pain was incredible. Morphine, then fentanyl, and the pain just got worse and worse.

Then a stent inserted from a artery in my groin and poof it was over.

Glad to be here.
