Coach Mulkey Health Scare

Had blockage and could have had major damage if untreated. Went in for carpal tunnel and came out with stents.
My favorite paragraph
“The punchline of the story is I’ll use it” when she does speaking engagements, Mulkey said. “I’ll hold my middle finger up and say, ‘You think I’m doing something ugly? That middle finger saved my life. I went in for carpal tunnel and came out with two stents.’

Wow, this happened to me about 3 years ago. Felt pressure on my chest while on vacation. Thought it was COVID. Got back home and called my PCP to get a check up. They sent me to the ER and had 2 99% blockages, and they inserted stents. Lucky to be alive.

Happened to me too, went to get checked out in prep for rotator cuff surgery and ended up with triple bypass surgery.

That’s how it works. I was looking at treatment for another issue and they found out that I had a heart problem.

I was having chest pains and went for a CAT scan as I have electrical heart problems. They found a artery in my abdomen with a dissection and aneurysm that needed 4 stents. I was about to pop.

She looks like she's pretty healthy which makes it a surprise even with the stress of her job. You Baws on the other hand......

Thank God she is okay.
A memo needs to be distributed to the SEC officials that she has a medical excuse for holding up her middle finger.

Praying for her full recovery.
Wish her the best moving forward.

I looked healthy too. Played college basketball, 6' 3", 215 pounds, parents lived into their 90's.

In my case it was cholesterol. Was having thickening in my carotid arteries, and had no issues with cholesterol. It wasn’t the total number as much as it was the cholesterol type. There’s much more to your LDL than total numbers. A lipid panel is best.

I started having slight chest pains when running and immediately went to a cardiologist. 90% blockage in the Widowmaker. He put in a stent and I’ve been great ever since. Very high cholesterol runs in my family. Don’t play around with this stuff if you start having symptoms.

In 2018, I had a total hip replacement in January, ending 3 years of severe pain. As I rehabbed by walking, I developed occasional nausea, then vomiting with increased walking distance. Months later, it morphed into chest pain. I knew what it was. In December 2018, I underwent cardiac catheter surgery for 2 each 100% blockages and one 90% blockage. I now have three stents in my arteries.
I went on to lose 71 pounds over the next 18 months and I feel fine today.
I hope it continues.

Glad all of you are ok. This is some scary stuff I'm reading here.

Know your family history very well and get an annual physical. Best advice I could give.

The LAD. That's where mine was. I had stable angina, which meant I was very unlikely to have a heart attack. Good thing; the survival rate for an LAD heart attack is 12%.

It’s shocking to me that someone with the kind of money Kim Mulkey has does not get screened for that. I’m 60 and for the last 10 years I get an annual physical that is extensive. It screens for everything obvious. And every three years I get a scan that shows the percent blockage (indirectly by looking at calcium).
I had similar thoughts about Kobe Bryant flying around in a helicopter with a single pilot and 30 year old avionics with no synthetic vision. He was saving $400,000 per year and taking radical risks with the lives of himself and his family.

That’s not how it should work!!! It works that way for many knuckleheads who take better preventative care of their automobiles than they do of their bodies. Pay for a first class physical - at least every three years.

I had a ligament tear in my leg and it filled my foot with blood. The doctor became concerned for some reason with blood clots so they did a sonic test from my foot to tge heart. There were no blood clots but they found an anerism(?} in my aorta. So every year they run a test to evaluate it and measure it’s growth. So far it is still very small and growth is negligible, with some years no measurable being detected.

Ditto
Cardiological issues seem to be on the uptick…for some reason. Who could have possibly seen this coming?
