Glad to be back! My husband's heart attack!

Hello everyone! I am so glad to be able to have time to log in here and write. About two weeks my husband had a massive heart attack and ended up with triple by-pass and then only after having him home for 3 days he almost left this world with a heart rate down to 30! His face was completely white and eyes rolled back in his head - we called 911 and they had to life-flight him to Atlanta's St. Josephs. He had blood clots that got loose and formed a complete blockage in his right artery, so they did angioplasty (spell ?) and put in 3 stents. He is finally home as of Thursday and looks so much better. He is only 55 years old and was not his diet that caused this. The doctor said that he had too much stress at his job and then worked too hard on home projects after work, sometimes not stopping to rest until 12:30 at night. He had also stopped taking his medication for high blood pressure, which I was not aware of. He thought he was fine and didn't need it anymore! I tell you what - I never want to have to go through this all again. I have missed you all a lot and glad that I can email you all with good news!
