Hey bro's it's a complete miracle that I'm here to share this with you. I think most of you know me by now.
On Easter Sunday after a very relaxing day of church and a family dinner I was driving home from my girlfriends with her and our dog. My Mom, Sister, Aunt, and Uncle were following behind us. We got about five minutes from her parents house and Kristine my girlfriend looked over at me and said my head just slumped forward on my chest and I was passed out. This happened while traveling at approximately 45 m.p.h.. I proceeded to run off the run to the right hand side and hit a construction sign, the big orange ones with lights that tell you when a road is closed. I blew that thing into a million pieces before I hit a power pole, that was almost as big around as a phone pole dead center in my hood, I cut it in half and came to a stop totaling my vehicle. Please remember that I don't remember any of this as I was passed out. My girlfriend Kristine fell out of the vehicle and her leg was run over by the rear tire. She sprang back up and climbed into the vehicle to try and resusitate me. Two nurses where on there way home and saw the accident and jumped out of there car a came over and pushed my histerical girlfriend aside and started to do chest compressions as they did'nt think I was breathing. I finally woke up after a about 20 or 30 seconds and said, "What is going on", they said, "stay calm you've been in an accident", I said "what accident". I looked around and my suv was totalled. Blood was running out of my mouth, from biting the inside of my lip pretty bad, maybe from the airbags deploying. By this time police and ambulance showed up and I was boarded and taken too a trauma center not far from the accident. No drugs or aclohol was involved in the accident.
Kristine and I both walked across the street to the ambulances, because of the power lines that were down. Kristine only suffered some bruising on her leg from the accident and I only had bitten the inside of my lip pretty badly, it is already healed. No other injuries from the accident.
After two day's of testing it was confirmed that I had a heart attack. I had a proceeder were they inject dye into the veins leading into your heart and it was determined that I had three blocked veins that feed my heart blood and oxygen. They were all about 75-80% blocked. A triple bypass was performed by a great cardio thoracic and vascular surgeon. He said I have the heart of an eighteen year old man and that no permanent damage was done. He said that my lifestyle of bodybuild and cardio fitness saved my life and I recovered well enough in three day's to be sent home. I just got home yesterday afternoon.
I would like to know since I've only done three cycles in my life and am on self prescribed hrt, your opinions as to whether or not AAS could have contributed to the blocked veins, or was it purely genetic, which is what my surgeon thinks?
Also what are your opinions of using AAS in the future once I am healed up?
Surgeon say's no weights for 8 weeks till my breast bone is completely healed. Then I should be able to resume my lifestyle at whatever level I choose.
It's good to be alive and I wanted to share this with you.
I implore you if to stay on top of your blood pressure. If you over 35 go to a cardioligist and have a full heart work up done. I had no warning signs at all. I was in the gym the day before and did 45min on the stationary bike, with no problems. Bro's I am as healthy looking as they come. My diet is excellent. You never know what you are genetically pre disposed to. Get yourself's checked out.
