Vanagon content:  I drove myself in the Red Brick to the clinic at the
VA hospital to see the PC. I was rushed to the ER. The rest is history.

Today I got out and did some walking. First time since getting out of
the hospital for a heart attack. All went well.

I had heavy pressure in the chest, difficulty breathing, pain in the
right and left sides of the jaw, pain in my teeth. Classic heart attack
symptoms. Spent five days in the hospital getting worked over, then the
docs came and said I showed no heart damage of any kind, that I seemed
to have suffered some sort of stress related heart event, and I should
take the pills they gave me to prevent such a thing from happening
again. AND to lose 80 lbs.

At this point, I feel great!

It was an adventure.

I think I am going on vacation.
