Well, like the topic reads, my heart stopped beating early this morning. My fiance is a heart nurse, and happened to be home when it happened. She saved my life!

A little back story...

38. Workout. Pretty damn good shape. I had found blood in my pee at 8am. Never had that before! I then changed my son's diaper, and fixed him a bottle. While I was feeding him, Amy states that I said "Oh my god!" Then the next thing that I know, I am in the ER. They said that my heart,and breathing had stopped! No one knows what the problem is as of late, but there will be more tests over the next couple of days.

Typing on my droid, and drugged up. Sorry.

I will get back after they figure this out. Feels like a train went through me. And I haven't even had a drink in years.

Dude . Get some rest and and figure out what is up with your ticker. Glad your still with us.

Glad you are still here.

Hope they find out what happened. Perhaps I should date a nurse.... Think my wife would mind? It'd be for my safety.

Brad

Daum Tony! What a way to start the New year!

Glad your still here.

Take it easy and follow the doc's orders, whatever they may be.

Jim

Wow!

Take care of yourself man. Post when you can. If you don't feel like it, don't sweat it. Just take care.

WOW - I'm glad you're alright man!!!!!

Hope all is well with you! Lucky she knew what she was doing!

holy cripes man! Hope nothing serious comes of this. Get well!

So did you see the white light?

Just kidding . Glad to hear you are ok after an experience like that, I can just imagine the shock you must have given your wife. I hope they figure out what the hell happened and you can make sure something like this doesn't happen again. Take care.

wow glad to hear you made it anyway!

This is a real downer Tony. When I saw the title, I thought something bad happened to the Fiero......and now I wish it were that simple Get better REAL soon, you have a new addition that looks up to you and needs you my friend.

Take care, Adam

Wow,
my cousin had something remotely similar tuesday....not as severe but scary!
Feel better and let the Docs figure it out.

It has been an interesting new year.

No real answers, just strange. Still in a funk about todays dealings. They think the blood is from a kidney stone, and is just a coincidence. My body does not feel so well. Amy says that everything stopped for nearly two minutes. I will know more soon, but they want to install a defribulator in my chest! Hopefully not. My rythem is not correct.

I am not one to go to the doctor much. Absolutely scared. Just so strange.

Thanks for the thoughtful words. Kind of needed right now.

Damn Tony, you should play the lotto. Get better, will be thinking of you!

wow! glad to hear your ok for the most part! sheesh what a way to spend the new year!

Damn tony.. thank god for your wife knowing her stuff. get better brotha.. im praying for ya.

Everything echoed.
Take care. I'm glad you're still here, and stay with us! I'd rather you be paranoid... (I've always loved that quote)

Sounds like an awful lot of coincidence. I'm no doctor, but I've dealt with WAY too many. There are bad ones, and there are worse. Somewhere amidst the chaos you find the diamonds in the rough, hopefully you found one.

My wife and I will be praying for you and your family. Take it easy, man!

P.S. If you need rhythm my little sister is a percussion major and about to graduate and I play the sax, I'm sure we could jam some rhythm into you.

I think perception is key here. You can see it as you died this morning, or you can see it as you came back to life. How many people can say that? Heck there's a major religion centered around a guy that came back. In some places you'd be worshipped for this. Glad you're still around Tony.

get well soon bud.

Wow, that's scary. As others have said, listen to your Doc. Get well and come back stronger. You were lucky there was someone there to take up the slack for your heart, she deserves a group hug.

Trust the doctors and thank your lucky stars that the right person was with you.

Holy cow Tony! Thank God Amy knew what she was doing. We're praying for you, and hoping that it's something that can be treated easily. You can't leave that new family of yours just yet.

Tony, just relax and let the doctors do their thing to find out what's wrong. Don't worry about PFF. We'll all be here waiting for you when you're able.

Life is fragile...Live every day to the fullest. Reminds me of that country song..." I went sky diving, I went Rocky Mountain climbing, i went 2.7 seconds on a bull name Fu Man Chu...".

Tony, you are lucky to have such an awesome woman at home.

Nurses are awesome. No doubt. I have seen them spring into action at my work and save lives. The last time was a year ago on Christmas eve when a guy had an aneurism on my plane at 37,000 feet just south of Indy. Every time they are so cool and focused.

Prayers sent for you.

Praying for ya man!

My family and said a prayer for you this morning in church. Maybe teh big man was telling you it was time to "go skydiving" and to build a choptop LS3 monster Fiero!!!!

Tony! Quit being selfish for a moment will ya? You only had to deal with almost dying. We had to deal with almost losing you!

Get this thing sorted out before we have to go through that again.

Damn Tony I hope you feel better. You need anything let me know.


Tom

Really, thanks for all of the smiles.

They are going to run an ECHO in a few minutes. I seem to have a ton of nausiea. May be due to lack of food though. Everyone has been great to me. I am just so out of it.

More as the day progresses.

Are you related to Dick Chaney? Young guy with heart problems at an early age. Prayers for you man..

Tony if you or Amy need anything do not hesitate to call. Hope they sort it out quickly but again don't hesitate to give a call.

Good luck, man! Stay with us.

Tony, Glad she was there. Holy crap.

Let them do the defibrillator, it's a small package that will do it's job if needed. - Especially if your sleeping.

Hey, maybe you can charge your droid with it !!

Have a friend that has one, it's about the size of a Geo-coin , you see nothing external.

Glad your still with us.

I just had my mitral valve replaced recently. I KNOW what you are going through. Hang in there man and GOOD LUCK!

Wow posting while fighting death. That is dedication to the web site like I have never seen!

Hang in their we are pulling for you. Keep us up on what is going on and we will keep you in our prayers.

Wife and I are praying for you. Hope everything turns out ok. Hoping they find out what's up.
