[QUOTE="callmefence, post: 1729850, member: 24947"] So back around the first of November I had a episode where I passed out for several minutes. I was in a remote area ,by myself and nobody really knew exactly where I was. I was lucky enough to wake up and be able to get to my phone and call my wife and tell her who to call that would know my exact location. She was about 30 minutes away and got there in 20. I got really lucky I woke up that day. I also got lucky by somehow making the decision to bypass my doctor (the idiot) and making my own appointment with a cardiologist. And stumping my toe and falling in the door of the most renowned cardio team in central Texas. 9 days ago they opened me up and replaced a defective (from birth) aortic valve. There was concerns about a possible electrical problem due to my main symptom. Passing out with no pain or shortness of breath. ( Sudden death) After the valve replacement my heart wouldn't pace correctly and I was on a external pacemaker. Around day 3 a battery change on the pacemaker lead to a failure to pace. I passed out and it took several minutes to get things started back up. I'll never forget hearing my wife screaming my name as I came back. The next day I was back in surgery having a pacemaker installed. Going home today. My boys my wife and my employees have been great. We may be a crude and rough bunch but give us a fight and we always seem to end up on top. Thank you [USER=18945]@greybeard[/USER] for taking the time to mentor [USER=19801]@Named'em Tamed'em[/USER] ...I while back you said. "If you think something is wrong get it checked out". That's life saving advice. [/QUOTE]
