Lying in bed this past Saturday morning watching TV around 1 am - couldn't breath. Got up and took two nebulizer treatments. helped a little. Printed three copies of my medical info, got dressed, called 911 then woke the wife. Spent 6 days in the hospital - congestive heart failure. Lot 14 pounds of excess water. Minor blockage so they put in two stents. Also found an undeveloped artery. Had it since birth - very uncommon. Not doing anything so left it alone. Revised diet with less salt - monitor for a-fib. No clots. Weak heart pumping - may be a result of strong chemo in 2002 that slowly caused the weakness. Beta blockers and other meds to strengthen. 71 years young.

I had that little fun game in May of last year. I went three days not breathing well. No fun not getting your breath. Good luck young man.
