Well Ladies & Gentlemen, I'm writing to you this fine evening from the Intensive Care Unit of Kishwaukee Hospital.  Seems the pains, flushing, etc, that prompted the lovely & charming Mrs. Cowboy to haul my reluctant ass here yesterday AM have turned out to be what you call your mild Myocardial Infarction.  What a bloody nuisance.  It looks relatively well for the future - angiogram found 0% blockage in all but 1 artery; ultrasound tomorrow to clafify the last one; no signs of significant damage, etc.  Still, no fun & a serious cause of buttockal agony. And of course, while the good news is no blockage, the bad news is that lack leaves them bewildered as to why I freakin' infarcted in the first place. Crap.
 
Peter

Hope they figure it out and your back at the homestead soon... good for Mrs. Cowboy for standing her ground.
 all my best,
kris

I wish you well.  
 
When I had mine the doctor could only attribute the cause to stress. Like you everything looked good except for one very small artery. The end result was the doctor said, I was lucky to get the warning and that it was time to change my line of work.

That's the thing about a MI: all blockages aren't fixed.  You may have ruptured a plaque, occluded an artery, had a small infarct, then the occlusion dissolved.  Alternately, it could have been secondary to vasospasm.  Whatever the situation, take it as a wake-up call and make whatever changes you need to make in order to prevent a recurrence.

Get well soon Peter!
Best wishes,
