Wake up call – surviving a heart attack

By Dennis Goedegebuure

Wow, wake up call!

For the last couple of days, I had a muscle in my back which felt like it was strained. Didn’t pay too much attention to it, just thought I needed more exercise.
Yesterday I felt light-headed driving into work, so before I hit the freeway I turned around to work from home.

This morning while walking the dog, I started to feel really bad. Turned around to drop of the dog.
While on the phone with Fiona, I described all symptoms of a heart attack.

Quickly went to the hospital, and as soon as the doctor attached a heart monitor I could hear him say: “Yes, he’s having one”

The next 2 hours were a roller coaster. Within a minute there were 6 people in the room preparing me to go into the operating room.
The doctors removed one blood-cloth which was blocking a vessel. A couple others are slightly blocked which can be treated with medication.

I can say, I’m extremely lucky I got to the hospital so fast. Doing much better now…
