I had a heart attack on jan 8th of this year. I had to be shocked 3x times that day. I thank god I was at work that day and not home with my daughter who is 10. I went back to work 6 weeks later(too soon I foind out). I work at a prison and its not the best on your stress level.
In July I was at the gym doing my treadmill wotk out when my defribulator went off 2x,turns out I had another blocked artery,had another two stents put in.
Even before that episode in July i was having issues with going to work while my family was at home,but my bosses would not work with me.
Now since July I find my self not wanting to be away from my family. I have seen a therapist since August and has helped me out alot. She tell me she thought I was suffering from PTSD due to the fact I have alomost died twice this year.
I have finally gotten past the "why me" stage and liing life the best i can. It is very hard to live with the changes and could not do it with the great wife that I have, It has been just as hard on her and I forget that sometimes. So please if you have been through this like me,please,please take your familys feelings into consideration also. They have to learn how to live with the changes also.
