[@user-mr7bz2wi4c]

@@McHenryCruiser By the sound of what he was going through when he decided to go into the hospital, it seems like he could have been at the start of a potentially fatal heart attack.

[@McHenryCruiser]

@@user-mr7bz2wi4c if it was gonna be a heart attack then it would have been a hospital cannot stop a heart attack

[@user-mr7bz2wi4c]

@@McHenryCruiser I love that you feel compelled to write about shit you clearly know nothing about. If someone is experiencing the initial symptoms of a heart attack and goes into a hospital, they can immediately give you thrombolytics and antiplatelet drugs to dissolve the blood clots before they cause a full cardiac arrest. Of course they can stop it. After you're stabilized they will perform an angioplasty, put in stents or perform bypass surgery like they did with Cumia.

[@dentaltalkshow5103]

I've never been so happy to see this guy back. What a long 2 months. We missed ya Ant.

[@Chris-pc2hw]

I've been listening to you for about 20 years and I'm so glad you're ok man. I'm cutting back on the 15 beers a day myself. Thanks for the tip.

[@0mnicide]

As a 33 year old Italian myself with a family history of fatty meats, heart issues and addiction I’ve decided to try and cut back on the beer, pizza and sausage&peppers. My dad was gone at 54 and my grandfather on my moms side at a similar age. Terrifying to think I could possibly be past the halfway point.

Thank God, indeed --|---- ! The reality is he is still far from a full recovery (hence the defibrillator vest). It'll take a full year, and many people never "fully" recover-- but they live! Since you are a man of faith, I suggest you pray for Anthony.

[@Kingcomics2021]

I was stabbed in the heart almost two years ago and had to undergo emergency surgery similar to Anthony's... Sternum was cut open, so I know exactly what he means. When you feel a cough or a sneeze coming on, it's literally horrifying. For about a month, while healing, I would wake up in the middle of the night and with every breath I took, it felt like someone was punching me as hard as they could in the ribs. It would last anywhere from half an hour to two hours. Everything he describes I went through as well, the tubes, the metal holding your sternum together, etc. I know exactly how it feels... Much compassion, and wishing Anthony a quick recovery

Welcome back ant. I had a valve replacement in 2019 at 31 years old. I have the huge scar down the front of my chest. It is a long recovery but u can do it. My best advice is dont bend and pick up anything remotely heavy. U want those ribs to heal COMPLETELY. Mine took over a year year and a half to full recover and i was in pain when i slept on my side. This was feb 2019 and i finally feel almost 100% now. My kidneys also shut down in the process which put me on dialysis. Thank god my kidneys kind of cane back after about 8 months. Although not fully their at 36% function now. Good to have u back man!
