Check This Weird Experience Out
So a few years ago I was in Tonopah, NV for a power plant job there. My doc had me go thru some sonic testing with a specialist that came up from Las Vegas. This guy told me that I had scar tissue on my heart where I had a heart attack in the mid to late 80’s. What? – I thought he was 'full of it' and never thought of it again. Recently I had a MRI done and they told me I had a stroke many years ago like more than 20…
That guy wasn’t so screwed up I guess. I was in the Navy as an ‘AB’ catapults and arresting gear then, I remember having (what I thought was) a mini shock incident where I thought it was because of no food or sleep and heat for weeks on end, the doc just made me drink saline visit the chow hall and rest then go back to work. Wow.

Re: Check This Weird Experience Out
Crazy- you're lucky to be alive. I guess that they think when you're young like that it doesn't need a lot of attention.
I was in sick bay three times before they finally decided I might have appendicitis, so they sent me into town (I was in Idaho at the nuclear power training unit) to see a civilian GP. I had a ruptured appendix, but he said that since I hadn't died, they would let my body clean up the internal mess. Had it out 6 weeks later. I've had three surgeries and two times been hospitalized because of it.

Re: Check This Weird Experience Out
Some of this has to do with being in the service, I think, as far as the level of attention you got. A heck of a thing to find out over 30 years later! If it took your life I believe you would have known much sooner.

Re: Check This Weird Experience Out
Me too, and the same to you! I'm in a weird spot in my life. Only one uncle of mine has lived past 65 (that's my current age), and most of the rest died at 58 or less. One made it to 64. Tobacco killed them all. So when the doctor asks me about older relatives, I tell him I'm in uncharted waters. I never picked up the tobacco habit.

Re: Check This Weird Experience Out
You know after I left that ship I was on shore duty and rode my bike to work 13.5 miles up and 13.5 miles down the Silver Strand daily, swam a lot surfed, Jogged, worked out at the gym much. I became a physical animal. My eating and bingeing habits latter in life I believe led me to diabetes (and bad genes). I guess that's why I was in denial when the told me "now" what happened then.

Re: Check This Weird Experience Out
This thread got to be a bit about me...sorry about that!
It's weird that you would get that diagnosis now, if you were able to do all the biking and swimming back then. But then sometimes our bodies are capable of some outstanding things.

Re: Check This Weird Experience Out
I would have never gotten the diagnosis if I hadnt gotten diabetes, they gave me meds that made my face go numb and the did a sonic scan, thats the first guy who told me. The second meds that did that (different city) they did and MRI and a CatScan and that found the evidence of what the first guy said to me. Who I thought was wrong.
