Re: (...)
While I was down at Sharon's my Dr called on my cell and told me the blood test I'd had before I left home showed I'd had a heart attack and they wanted to see me immediately. Well, I finally saw them this week and the EKG and further tests didn't show anything. I, personally, didn't know anything about it and now they're saying maybe it was a flawed test. So, was it? or, Wasn't it? Nobody knows.

Good Grief Billy! Hopefully, it was just a flawed test. As my grand MIL used to say..."Getting old sucks!"

Well it's been known to happen darlin'! My gawd, as hard as you worked down here you're probably in better shape than the doctor.
Are they going to redo the test to be sure??? Someone ought to be smacked for causing you a bucket load of anxiety!

But Daphne, the alternative
REALLY sucks!
Maybe just a good warning, Billy - at least this infor is in your records and will be watched for. Look at this as a good thing.

They did do a retest and...nothing. They told me I should really give up smoking and I told them..............

True enough Jean! But she was almost 90 living in a nursing home when she said it.

That's just scary Billy. I'm glad the other subsequent tests came up negative! Have they asked you about doing a stress test where you get on the tread mill etc?

Yeah, but I'm so out of shape from the last 3-4 years I can't walk fast/far enough to do one and they don't want to do the chemical stress test. Slowly I'm getting back into some kind of shape.

My goodness - we thought you were "Iron Man" while you were here! Geeze! I was scared to death that we were gonna give you a heart attack!
Smack the doctor for scaring us, too!
Glad all is well for you! Now just take care of yourself!
