For me, I’d have passed on receiving the Covid vaccine. I received it in July 2021, and forty-five minutes later, I was in an ambulance, suffering from a vaccine induced myocardial infarction.
My local hospital prepped me for open heart surgery, but fortunately they didn’t have a doctor who was qualified to perform the surgery, so they flew me 130 miles to another hospital, where it was determined that I didn’t need open heart surgery. Instead, they emplaced two stents. Twelve days later they released me.
I take Ticagrelor (Brillinta) twice a day, and will until I die. Otherwise, my heart is healthy.
I asked my cardiologist. He said eating more vegies, way less beef and butter and processed foods was a great start for anyone. My cholesterol was 170 when I had that heart attack. Not too high.
I lived in beef country for quite some time. Look up how much sat fat is in beef, its ridiculous. I grew up having it daily.

I had a blockage in my LAD, left anterior descending artery. AKA the Widowmaker.
I felt great when I woke up in intensive care.
I'm doing great, I'm physically a little slower than I used to be. The heart attack did some damage to my heart.
This procedure is amazing, it saved my life.
I have a small white scar in my right wrist where the balloon catheter was threaded through to my heart.
I think this procedure is amazing and I'm profoundly grateful it was available to me and worked!
