An Update on my Heart

[PakiDan]

Well, there are alot of 'newer' people on here that don't know my history, so first a quick synopsis... I had my first heart attack at 29. It was a pretty major one, had a stent put in and was released and back to work within a week. Well , almost three years later I went to the doctor cause I was suffering from a pretty bad cough... they immediately sent me to the hospital. Turns out they diagnosed me with Type III Congestive Heart Failure (I had also suffered a second massive heart attack). My Cardiac rejection fraction rating was 27% which is barely pumping (55% + is considered normal and healthy). They inserted a balloon pump, then placed a second stent. They declared me 100% disabled at that time.

Well - I just had my first Echocardiogram since I left the hospital almost three years ago. My new and current heart ejection fraction is 56%... which is 100% normal!!! which means my heart has healed back to normal function!

I wanted to share the good news with you guys since some of my strongest support came from here... I firmly believe the strong support and prayers from ya'll truly had much to do with it. Thank you.

Nice! Congrats and here is to a long, healthy life :tu

[Shelly]

Fantastic news!

[mrsmaalox]

Wunnerful :)

[PuttPutt]

That is awesome. God bless & may he keep your heart in good working order.

[ashbeeigh]

Good news!

[duncan228]

Great to hear!

[ALVAREZ6]

That's awesome to hear PakiDan, always great to hear a good story for once.

[SnakeBoy]

Do you know what led to your heart disease?

Congrats on your recovery!

[DaDakota]

That is great, more news like this is needed in the world.

Congrats !

[boutons_deux]

Congrats on the patchup and recovery.

Did they tell you the source of so much disease at such a young age?

[ALVAREZ6]

:toast

Literally...consume wine, PakiDan, in moderation of course ;)

:whine

[scott]

Do you have to give up your heart icon?

JK, glad to hear you are doing well.

Cheers!

That is sooooooooooooooooo Pego.

[Frenzy]

So take that heart to spurs games and make it work now.

You forgot the part about popping in a desk drawer

[baseline bum]

Wow, that's awesome! Congrats. I was kind of scared to open this thread knowing your history from what you've said here before, but that's incredible to hear it's good news.

[PakiDan]

You forgot the part about popping in a desk drawer

Hahaha! Nice! Well - I got a Kidney disease at five years old called Buergers Disease. It caused scarring in my Kidneys when I was five. The disease never progressed, but it caused my blood pressure to elevate. Being young, I thought I was invincible, so I never took my blood pressure medicine. The years of uncontrolled hypertension caused the damage in my heart. NEVER take your health for granted.

[PakiDan]

i'm just saying becuase pego makes fun of babies and has a hard on for PakiDan for some reason. Dan if you don't mind, what is pego's obsession with you?

You'd have to ask Pego... apparently he's friends with Mr. Dio and apparently some pretty ugly things and accusations were said about me when we fell out of friendship. Stupid shit..

[baseline bum]

Out of curiosity, Dan, were there any major lifestyle changes that you credit with your recovery?

[PakiDan]

Out of curiosity, Dan, were there any major lifestyle changes that you credit with your recovery?

Yes. I'm the first to admit that prior to me getting sick, I didn't make the best choices. I quit doing things that would harm my body... well other then eating habbits. I really need to do better with the way I eat. I still have a ways to go there.

[desflood]

Excellent news, Paki.

[lefty]

Great news Paki!

Thanks for the update :tu

[tlongII]

Good to hear Paki! I didn't even know that hearts could heal to be honest.

[PakiDan]

Good to hear Paki! I didn't even know that hearts could heal to be honest.

Me neither TBH! I mean... literally minutes before taking the Echo, my doctor and I were talking about the 'next steps'... which included installing a defibrulator, then a transplant... so much for that!!!! :)

[BlackSwordsMan]

What caused your heart to shit out? Did you tie up everyday?

[ploto]

Great news!

[v2freak]

I don't even know you, but I want to shake your hand.

[Bukefal]

:tu Congrats PakiDan :toast

[Stringer_Bell]

It's good to know you're healing up! I hope you're able to accomplish everything you want without being stressed about your health.

[PakiDan]

It's good to know you're healing up! I hope you're able to accomplish everything you want without being stressed about your health.

You know... that says it all right there. It's a strange feeling to have hope again. I mean... I don't want to sound bad, but it was hard to go to sleep sometimes wondering if I would wake up. I'm happy man.... just happy!

[PakiDan]

I don't even know you, but I want to shake your hand.

Thanks freak! Anytime!

Awesome news, Paki. Now take care of yourself!

[Sportcamper]

Niiice thread Paki…I am glad that your health has recovered…:tu

Health is a strange subject…I know of several women who smoke & drank for 80 years & never spent a day in the hospital…Then again this is Southern California…Lots of women out here don’t have hearts….

Are you for or against Obamacare?

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Great news! I'm sure you'll make the best of it. And I'll go ahead and take full credit for having this heart thing in my signature still.

WHAT the FUCK is this shit? Goddamn paki, I've never seen anyone troll for sympathy the way you do. Maybe if you hadnt done all that coke, smoked all those cigarettes, and drank til last call at the clubs every nightwhile you were experience health issues, then you wouldnt have had this problem.

I have no sympathy for those that cause their own misfortune

[lil'mo]

I don't even know you, but I want to shake your hand.

:rolleyes

[lil'mo]

sorry that you are all fools and complete suckers. Heart icons :rolleyes gmafb

this guy is a creep, a loser, and a fuck-up and he's proven a hundred times over on spurstalk alone.

difference being, these things about pakidan are true, those things about me are false

[Dave Mustaine]

difference being, these things about pakidan are true, those things about me are false


denying it doesn't make it false.

[lil'mo]

you look and behave like a Neanderthal


whoever said that you breathe through your mouth must have known you personally

lol neanderthal smack? :lol

only time i breath through my mouth is when your mom is in the room cause that bitch STANKS! :lmao

weak smack for weak smack

[lil'mo]

denying it doesn't make it false.

oh ok jt, likewise, stating it doesnt make it true.

[Creepn]

Maybe he did or maybe he didn't but I for one believe that people should get second chances.

Congrats on your health and your newfound outlook on life Paki.

[lil'mo]

reading comprehension is vital in todays society, tyson.

i was talking shit to pakidan for trolling for sympathy, which he ALWAYS does. He even had to rehash the story for "new posters" who havent heard about it yet! :lmao

[lil'mo]

pretty sure Jt didn't get his degree in creative writing from UTSA and therefore didn't fake those incredibly realistic pm's

oh, the ONE pm where i asked him to get me some codeine after he told me and 4cc he could "get us anything... ANYTHING" :lol

I was just throwing the guy a bone, he was desperate for freindship, and probably still is :lol

[lil'mo]

Maybe he did or maybe he didn't but I for one believe that people should get second chances.

Congrats on your health and your newfound outlook on life Paki.

so how about third, fourth,... tenth chances?

[lil'mo]

right...that was the ONE time :lol

yet you befriended the 2 biggest druggies on ST, gtfo nobodies believing that crap

yeah, cause jt posted that one pm but is keeping the rest under wraps :rolleyes

not too bright, are you tyson? and not that i befriended jt, but who is the other druggie i befriended?

[PakiDan]

yeah, cause jt posted that one pm but is keeping the rest under wraps :rolleyes

not too bright, are you tyson? and not that i befriended jt, but who is the other druggie i befriended?

Mr. Dio. To name one. Who do you think introduced me to the dirtbags? I was 19 years old when I first saw that guy do coke. Come on man... you act all high and mighty you fucking hypocrite. I still love you though Mo.

[thisnarco]

yeah, cause jt posted that one pm but is keeping the rest under wraps :rolleyes

not too bright, are you tyson? and not that i befriended jt, but who is the other druggie i befriended?

i got 10 double-stacked beans w/ ur name on it scro...bring the whippets and lets do this thang

[lil'mo]

Mr. Dio. To name one. Who do you think introduced me to the dirtbags? I was 19 years old when I first saw that guy do coke. Come on man... you act all high and mighty you fucking hypocrite. I still love you though Mo.

Mr Dio is the shit though. If I could hang out with him more, I would. We've only gotten to hang out like 3 or 4 times. Why you blamin dio for your addictions?

[lil'mo]

dio, whottt, jt..you befriended every druggie on ST. you are who you hang out with. you're a druggie, and it's no wonder you pm'ed other posters looking for drugs

whottt was NOT a druggie. nice assumptions though. And no, i'm not a follower, i am not who i hang out with... you on the other hand...

and again, to reiterate, i never befriended jt, he fruitlessly tried to befriend us.

[Monkey on J.T.'sback]

Some are butthurt over another's good fortune. Go fire up or shoot up and get over it.

[lil'mo]

you can try to downplay the drug connection all you want but it's there :lol

and yes whottt was a druggie, he created a drug thread in the troll forum once. dude admitted to having done every drug in existence.

ok, i will ammend my statement and say that whottt was NOT a druggie when we were hanging out with him.

drug connection? i'm sure you could make all sorts of connections if you cared enough, which you do :lol

[lil'mo]

point is, don't be a hypocrite and condemn paki for any past drug use whenever one of your good friends was even more of a druggie..now it wouldnt be right for me to say that i have no pity for whottt because the dude did drugs would it? so you should keep your past butthurt out of a thread about Paki's good fortune.

again, you're an idiot, im giving pakidan a hard time about his sympathy mongering.

it's like a woman posting a thread on here about losing her unborn child when she had an abortion, but conveniently left the abortion part out of the story. and then everyone puts a little fetus icon in their signatures and shit :lmao

[PakiDan]

Nice try asshole. Please try again!

[lil'mo]

nobodies totally impersonal on this forum pego, many of us post about things that pertain to our own personal lives. even you posted a picture of your son and bragged about how perfect he was. stop bashing others every time you see something about their personal lives just because you're so insecure about your own.

probably wouldnt have been a big deal if he had left the part out about the synopsis for the newer posters :lmao

lmao at being insecure about my personal life. my personal life is badass, wanna hear about it? pm me :rollin

[BlackSwordsMan]

Dont want to jinx anything. :)

[lil'mo]

His heart problems were drug related?

yes, he nowingly exacerbated a heart condition. It took a fucking HEART ATTACK at 29 to scare him shitless and straight.

[BlackSwordsMan]

kinda figured, I saw an episode of scrubs the dude was like I need a new heart thingy and elliott was like ok but stay clean and he promised he would but lied

[lil'mo]

reading comprehension, tyson, reading comprehension.

[PakiDan]

yes, he nowingly exacerbated a heart condition. It took a fucking HEART ATTACK at 29 to scare him shitless and straight.

Yes... Lil Mo is not only a doctor, but apparently my doctor! Preach on brother!...oh and apparently he's either my dad, brother or best friend, cause he sure seems to know everything!

[lil'mo]

Neither did I tbh.

It is good news Dan, glad to hear you are better, keep taking care
of yourself.

At least Dan has something lil'mo doesn't have.....a heart.
