I had a case of the flu last January. Achy muscles, no appetite, the
usual.

Had another little dose of it coupla weeks ago. Nuisance. Then, for
no apparent reason, I couldn't get my breath. Uh oh, let's go right
now! We did.

Turns out I'd had two "symptomless" heart attacks. After the second,
the docs said my hours remaining without intervention were countable
with a single digit.

Now, a couple of weeks and one quintuple bypass later, they're quite
optimistic. They said being generally healthy and strong helped a
lot. I'll be limited to 10% "load rating" for a month, then 20% thru
Labor Day, then whatever I can rehab myself to after that -- and, I'd
have more energy than I'd had for a decade with all that good oxygen
getting to where it needs to go.

Hang in there Don. Glad you made it.
Mine was like a stomach ache that wouldn't go away for a few days
almost 10 yrs ago.
A stent and a couple ream jobs over the next year and it's been
OK since. Cut down on the fats and excersize lots and simvastatin,
atenolol, and lately plavix seem to be keeping me going.
