Well guys, I just felt the need to reach to y'all. I know some members are on here that are beyond my years and may even know a thing or two about this. Most importantly, maybe just read it and take it for whats its worth.My father in law, on Tuesday suffered what I classify as a heart attack. I was not there personally to see this. I did not even learn about until later that day after I got home from work.From what I understand that transpired, he and my mother in law and their son went out to the woods to go shooting. Getting the rifles set or made sure they were set for this years hunting season. They had finished their shooting and I guess out of no where he fell to the ground and blacked out. Once he recovered from it, he said he had no recollection of the event.Luckily, his most recent surgery involved his neck getting some pins put in. The doctor found out that the nitro he had was expired. So he got a new prescription for it. He took one nitro after this occured. He has suffered from a heart attack before and has one stint as well. This took place back in the early 2000's.Now, he is one stubborn man. His wife is too passive when it comes to his wishes. He REFUSED to go to the hospital! Trust me, I laid into him in a son in law type of way about not going to the doctor after this happened.I have not been able to see him since this happened, but I guess he has not been the same since then. He did go to the doctors the other day after a few of us scolded him for not doing so. His doctor told him that he was very worried about it and has got an appt. scheduld to see a heart doctor this Wednesday. He is only to do light things until then and cannot lift a SINGLE thing.I told him on the phone he needed to get an idea of what his vitals were like. That isntance and the docs, his vitals were fine. His cholesterol is even fine as well.The kicker to all this:He has an ear infection on his mastoid bone in his ear. It was scheduled to be done later this month. But because he had this, it has been cancelled until he gets this under control. Problem is, the docs are worried the infection could go to his brain and kill him!He is in a corner, IMO. NOT good. Dangit, he is suposed to live to see his grandkids! Its hard telling if this is finally gonna do him in or not. He has had a HARD life and it certainly would be a shame to see this chap go!I have a theory to this. Everything sure as heck may check out and show that it can certainly be confusing as to why he suffered from this event. But there is one thing that can be overlooked by most. Your heart is a muscle, it needs to be used and worked! He is disabled and has been since he was 28. Granted, it has only been sine I pretty much met my wife that it has gone downhill for him. The past couple years he has been very limited in his activities and has spent most of his time sitting in a chair. His gut will tell you the same, too.I also did a little reading on heart attacks, and what I can also make from it, if he has a serious infection from his ear, his white blood cell count should be up. If there is too much, it can cause a clump of them and caue a heart attack. Whatever the case may be, I need you guys to do some praying for me!If I can convince one of you guys on here that your life and health is important, it would make this time typing on here so very worth it! Take care of yourselves! Because your health matters to more than just you!Not too long after I joined this forum, his siser which is my wifes aunt, died from COPD. She got it from cigarettes. I watched her die among family, I do not want to tell you guys how I watched my father in law die from a heart attack or infection to the brain.
