Jesus Jim. I don't have the words. You would have been so deeply missed, I'm thankful that I can tell you that today.

@Dannmann801 thanks for being "that guy." You are one of the few who could pull off that post. You and Jim are always on my list of TOO guys I look to for wisdom.
Best thing I read in your post: no damage. Freaking awesome. Jim, sorry you are dealing with this but so very thankful you are with us to type it out. Heal up my friend.

Thinking about things I'm just glad it happened where (at home near good hospitals and NOT in some far-off oil patch) and when (in 2021 when doctors can scan you then run a wire up in you and fix you in one night) it did. Really glad.
Thank you everyone.
I've thought about were else I could have been when it happened. Out in the patch, driving or have you considered, Giles driveway! (Friday night...)
Jim, I'm at a loss for words, can only say that I thank God you are still with us....I hate this feeling in my stomach/heart right now thinking of it turning out any other way. You're getting a big ol bear hug next time I see ya.
Holy crap Jim, so damn glad you caught it in time and are on the mend. Wow I did not expect this, to be honest I thought the post was something completely different when I first opened it up. Hell we all are your family as well and yes you have scared the shit out of all of us!! Definitely will be thinking of you as you recover!
My driveway has came to mind and we talked of a firework show in the future. So take care of yourself so we can do more than talk about it. Please. Your TOO family needs ya too!

Glad your ok! Scary for sure and something I think about at my age. Can't believe how many people I know that have had heart attacks in the last couple years. Some made it some not. Not old people either. Late 50's to early 60's. I think this stressed out world we live in now has a lot to do with it.
For the record it was deep dish, peperoni and green olives.
Fucker.
As far as the retirement hunts, bring on the drivers. I can still shoot with the best of em.
I am touched by all the concern and well wishes Sincerely, Thank You, but please don't forget the point of the story. I've posted a couple of life events on here in hopes of sparing you the heartbreak of being un-prepared. Wills, Living wills and things of this nature are bummer subjects that are easy for a young or middle aged man to put off dealing with. This was a long time coming in that it was a slow, gradual build up of plaque. So slow it deceived me into thinking it was just "old age" or "getting out of shape" or "need to stop smoking".
And its not just the scare your loved ones go through. On a more selfish note, how would you feel if you could no longer get out to the woods or range or water to hunt, shoot or fish... Not much of a life in my book...

Dammit, I was thinking you'd be the one driving for me, or that we'd at least be switching off.For the record it was deep dish, peperoni and green olives.

Let me know when these retirement hunts begin. Hopefully things will be slower for me by then. I'll push to both of you. Just not going to get multiple pushes like I could do 20yrs ago. Ya both are fuckers.
