older guys and your health

51 with heart problems since I was 39. Was not fun being the youngest guy on the floor. Biggest scare yet was 2 years ago being told by a nurse in the ER at 2:30am after having an IV, nitro patch, tablet under my tongue and a shot: "Honey, you are most likely going to have a stroke now..." as my EKG went nuts and my girlfriend screamed and cried, "Nooo!" I will never forget the look on her face as she stared at the monitor. I AM STILL HERE! Thank you Jesus, and all that have prayed for me including my church. I am doing MUCH better now, no stroke either. Tomorrow... going drag racing! Be thankful for everyday, I don't know how many I have left - but I will tell you each one really means something.

God bless

I am so glad you are doing well and made it thru that experience unscathed. I started this thread to try to alert people, especially in their 60's (and 50's) to be aware of possible heart disease EVEN though you have a physical every year.
I have thanked my God, Jesus Christ my Lord and Savor, every day for another day. I have done this way before my trip to the hospital for open heart surgery. I say live and love every day.
