The last day of the Bama season I was in the hospital trying to get a heart rythm caused by atrial flutter to run as high as 155 and after a heart cath on Monday night I was operated on Wednesday for a quadruple bypass at Thomas Hospital in Fairhope,Al. I am a very blessed man to not have any muscle damage .
Pain had been gradually building from the previous week and my hard headedness kept me hunting. Feeling steady pain in the sternum area, feeling clammy or having to stop awhile while walking uphill,or think you must be having some gall bladder problems? Get it checked out. I was almost dead wrong.
Glad you had it checked
Dude, take care of yourself. There will be turkeys that need killing next year, you need to be around to help out!
I hope you have a speedy recovery!
That was too close..glad you caught it
Good luck with a speedy recovery!
Glad you got in before any damage was done. I hope you recover quickly and have many more great seasons.
Good luck with your rehab RAJ. If I can help let me know.

Glad you got it taken care of in time. Take care of yourself.
Godspeed to you, RAJ. Glad you decided to go have things checked out when you did. You will be back on your feet in no time. Good luck to you, my friend, and keep us posted of your progress. Mike :cross2:
Glad to hear you came out ok RAJ. Take it easy man.
One of my employees had a QBP last week as well. He's doing great, they let him go home last night and he hasn't needed pain meds so far.
Have a speedy recovery!
So sorry to get this news Robert. It sounds like you are on the mend and caught it in time.
Take care ole pal
Good luck. Prayers sent from my family for speedy recovery.
Thanks fellows.I have not had to take any pain medicine in two days .I am at least on the mend and have lots of prayers and support .

My irregular heart beat was at 155 caused by atrial flutter, not fibrilation.
Get checked out soon. Thanks and let me know what's what.
Very glad that you got that checked...Afib/flutter is nothing to mess with...not only does it starve the heart of precious oxygen but the stasis of blood can create clots that can get thrown anywhere or "watershed" and you could have stroked out....on another side note...4 vessel...WOW...with that many vessels involved...sounds like you could have had an LAD blockage in there too...they don't call that one the "widowmaker" for nothing...
Gald you on the road to recovery and good luck with your rehab....I see dead turkeys in your future!!!
prayers sent for a speedy recovery :jesus-cross:
Raj, you let a little thing like that keep you out of the woods ;D Sadly, most men wait till they haul you away in an ambulance before getting checked out. My hard headed dad for an example, that didn't get a second chance. Hope everything heals up great, and plan on you being back chasing Turkeys next year. :icon_thumright:
Thinking of you! :cross2:
Glad everything worked out for you. Hang in there. I know what it's like, had a heart attack while bowhunting in Camp Blanding, Fl. Made it out and into the hospital. Have some heart damage from it, but I've had 4 angio plasties, a 4bypass and 5 bypass open heart surgery. Now have 6 stents in my heart as the last 5 bypass surgery all blocked up within a month while I was camped out in Greenswamp wma fl. deer hunting. I still hunt like I always have. By myself and deep in the woods. Just takes me longer to get in and out
Good luck with a speedy recovery!
Glad your doing better, and glad you got it checked out before it was too late.
God Bless,
David B.
Hey Robert,
I'm glad to hear that all is going well. As has been said, many men just ignore the pain and don't fare so well because of that. Take care and listen the doctors. Prayers have been said.

Dad had one of those last year and he's as good as new now. He was watching t.v and got to feeling funny and his chest got tight and his arm hurt. Drove himself to the hospital and the docs said he was lucky to have made it and should have called an ambulance. He got into a work out routine and has dropped the weight and is doing well. Pray for your speedy recovery :jesus-cross:
Robert,
I'm sorry this happened to you, but very glad you found this out before any heart muscle damage occured!
Prayers for a speedy recovery, and a long life!
