i had a heart attack last Thursday. Mental.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Really? Hope you are ok now. x
Wtf? Was wondering why you were so quiet.
yep... was playing soccer and had to come off after 20 mins with chest pains. Watched the rest of the game, drove my friend home, went grocery shopping, came home, dropped the bags on the floor, rolled around the couch in agony, called my fiancee, drove myself to hospital, had an ECG, rushed to a room, moved to cardiac unit, had an angiogram, got myself a stent, recovered.
A freak accident the Doctor said. They have no idea why it happened as my cholestorol/BP were only a bit above normal and i quit smoking a year ago and no family history... its all a bit f*cked up actually. Im taking 6 different pills every day for the next year at least... weird, weird, weird...
The new job will have to wait!
thanks MM.

Jesus that's mad. Glad you're ok now, though Id imagine you'd like to know why it happened. As long as the doctors didn't instruct you to leave the totty watch threads alone for the sake of your heart then I'll be happy!
Jesus dude. Glad to hear you're okay.yep... was playing soccer and had to come off after 20 mins with chest pains.

Possibly best to avoid the Rovers v Copenhagen thread later.

Tallaght Stadium Regular
Got to sleep about 620.
Up at 815.
I'm not a happy bunny.
Wearily heading up the stairs to bed the other night, I was confronted with the sight of about 15 frenzied wasps swarming around the landing light bulb.
"Feck", says I. Wishing that someone else had been around to hear my cool articulation of the unusual problem I was presented with.
I think they may have been grenade carrying, Killer-Zombie, Vampire Wasps but I can't be sure about the grenades.
Our landing window had been left open and obviously there was a hive nearby. As we've 3 young kids, I was a little uneasy about the whole Wasp invasion thing.
Anyway, I loaded up on some heavy artillery -namely a T Towel and an aerosol can of Mr Sheen Polish. I had no option but to unleash hell on those buzzin Mo fo's.
Did ye ever see the scraps in "The Matrix". That was a movie version of me (the good guy, with shades) fightin the Wasps (the bad guys, with shades).
10 Minutes later, it was a wasp apocalypse. 14 Wasps strewn around the carpet and the landing full over a noxious smell of polish.
I spared 1 wasp and told him to go and tell the wider Wasp community that this is what will happen to them and their families if they ever go near my landing again.
He said "grand" and flew off to tell them.
Quoting years at random since 1975
All the best, SKStu - hope you recovering.
In fact, I hope you're both OK for the future. Both of the above incidents must have been traumatic and indeed potentially life changing. All the best.
Quoting years at random since 1975
Mine was indeed life changing. The delirium that has resulted from the lack of sleep has resulted in a calmed attitude surrounded by the teuwls.
Ack. I was rather hoping that it happened while you were sniffing cocaine off a hookers baps in a luxury hotel suite paid for with money stolen from a Mexican drug lord after his car was totalled by a speeding train causing him to die and his car to collide with yours.
Still. I guess the main think is that you're ok.
#NeverStopNotGivingUp
Scary stuff, SkStu. You just never know what any day will bring. Look after yourself.
Don't do that again, the internets needs stu, and not the crappy UCD kind :P

Carbon copy of what happened to me in 2005.
Playing soccer for a club in Dublin, in goals. Dived for a ball awkwardly, hopped my chest off the ground. Got up played on. We were being hammered 6-0 in the second half, feeling worse and worse, was subbed. I went home, couldn't move from sofa, the then girlfriend made me go to hospital. Walked to doctors, who then sent me to Beaumount, so walked there. Told I shouldn't be walking around and needed to rest. I still have disrythmia from it, which flares up when i stressed..still hasn't stopped me refereeing.
Was out of college for a few weeks, out of sport for six months. Back for countless check ups and diagnosis and new diagnosis. Was finally given the all clear through a rushed medical check up because i was told to come back from the original appointment for results but i was going to LA so they gave me a rushed analysis then.
Scary thing to be told, then when you try tell people years later, they look at you because they expect heart attacks to be major chest clenching moments.
Get well soon mate..

thanks for the support lads. It means a lot!!
Its funny Padjoe, when all the nurses (hello!) were rushing around me and the Doctors were spraying my mouth with nitroglycerin I still didnt think I was having a heart attack - where were the pains in the left arm? the sense of impending doom? etc etc. Its not like you think it will be.

I'd prescribe perhaps not watching the first 41 minutes of the match on the RTÉ player
Wolfie, has the Wasp community got back in touch to make known their feelings on your massacre?
The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
Well initially i was being sent home and told to drink some lemsip by one nurse, while another nurse started sticking ecg pads to my chest.
sometimes wonder about the health care in ireland.
One doctor says not to rush around, another tells me i be fine. Even when one doctor asked if any one in my family died of a heart attack i said my grandfather aged 70+ to which the response was he was old, old people die, that's what old people do.
No wonder some people are hypochondriacs and others walk around for weeks with legs falling off but refusing to see a doctor.
Had a medical in New Zealand last week. My heart was jumping mad out of the place, the GP looks at me..yeah that's fine.. so its not much better over here. By the way, I should've been a doctor. $250 for a ten minute medical for a visa application. Ca-Ching..
