You sick bastard.

That’s brilliant!

It’s pretty cool seeing the last time some of these people posted—some in that thread post to the present day, but a lot dropped off the face of the earth (although they had a huge post count at the time).

getting the tubes pulled out of the chest is the weirdest shite ever.

The nurses asked me how I felt after they braced me and yanked out the tubes. I was like, “Remember that scene from Alien?!” :lol:
In all actuality, it felt like they pulled a two-pound speckled trout out of my chest cavity.

I’m 48, had a widowmaker and emergency angioplasty on 1/31, quadruple bypass 3 days later. Was released 2/7. The worst part of the whole deal was the drainage tubes in your chest cavity after surgery, but when they removed those you instantly started feeling better and could breathe. The next two weeks were tough because every time you cough it feels like a 4x4 post being driven into your chest. Walking immediately after in ICU is vital to recovery, and you must keep it up on your own after release. I walked the driveway until I built my stamina back. First 4 weeks are rough, but eventually I felt better and in the 7th week post surgery, I started 8 weeks of cardiac rehab. Just returned to work 6/1. I would say that I was back to 100% about four weeks into cardiac rehab, but the chest muscles are still very sensitive.

For me, a month and a half ago. Widow-maker heart attack and quadruple bypass at 47. Decently healthy by all accounts, shitty cardiovascular genetics just reared its head. Feel like I’m living on borrowed time now.

Eta: I think it really sunk in when I received the Anointing of the Sick before surgery. It was definitely a “shite just got real” moment.

I’d still be shoveling shite from Katrina. And freezing my arse off in a FEMA trailer.

There's literally a Waffle House like 20 yards from where that picture was taken.

I always consider this Waffle House (across from the Beau) the Patient Zero for trashy Waffle Houses. It was insane going in there back in the 90s and it’s impact spread through the entire organization. :lol:

Hulu has been shite this past football season—volume fluctuations and intermittent freezing.
