A Born Again NutterBack to life again is the term I use because. I had a massive heart attack. Acute myocardial infarction. this was in late January 2017. The specifics are a bit sketchy. I was on one of those fitness freakouts. I had already given up smoking and drinking since 2015. Something that I found easy. If you having problems with giving up smoking or drinking, drugs etc. Here is how to do it. Don’t buy them. It’s so easy. I remember running around the village of Kalithies in the morning. Getting 1.5 km into a predefined 5km route I ran regularly. Then bam! I got hit in the chest by a strange force. It really took the wind out of me. I didn’t stop running but I did slow right down. The pain continued until I was walking. It was a pain that felt like I had taken a massive lung full of frozen air. Time To Get HomeI was exactly halfway between the furthest point of my planned run and my home. I thought that it couldn’t be anything serious, so I jogged back home with the continued course. But a more direct route. I was absolutely sure I had either pulled a muscle or maybe hurt myself lifting a wood-burning stove into the back of a car a few days earlier. Told Mini about it but gave her my prognosis and carried on with the day. The following morning I went for my run but the pain in my chest was just too much. I ran about a kilometre & felt that chest tightening, freezing feeling again. This time I walked back home slowly. This is the first time I have ever given in while running. So far to date the only time. The Airport That Bought Me Back AgainR.H.O. Diagoras airport Rhodes. Definitely a lifesaver. I had elected to take my friend Snowy to the airport in the morning around 5 am. The problem was that I was getting more and more chest-related pains & problems. So much so that I had almost agreed to see a doctor the following day. Mini decided that she would be travelling to the airport with me because I seemed unwell. |
