Bad day in the bush

I was out last Thursday setting up the Turkey blinds and deer blinds .
Started getting chest pains , they got worse and worse and worse, yep is a heart attack I was sure of it .
Took me 2 hours to walk a quarter mile back to my truck, could only walk about 10 steps then had to rest, even had to lay down a few times. The thought of dying in the woods was on my mind as the family would take a day or two to find me, and the Coyote's would have found me sooner( that was on my mind).
Finally made it to the truck pain was awful at this point, laid down in the truck and the pain just got worse.
Started the truck and pulled out onto the road as a car was coming my way I tried to flag it down , it was an OPP car and he just waved back at me and kept going, Cant blame him I guess may have been on a call.
Well I made it to the main road , and it was my lucky day an Ambulance was parked on the side of the road , I pulled over next to them and just kept honking my horn . They came over and took great care of me , got me to the hospital .
I spent 5 days in CCU , they told me I need a triple by pass and as soon as a bed is available in London. That's were they will do the surgery.
I do not own a cell phone that would have been a lot easier.
Looks like Turkey season will be a bust this year , not sure about Deer season.

Just wanted to give you a heads up you never know when or where something like this could happen.

Any way resting peacefully at home right know waiting for the phone call .

Wow glad you made it out OK. That's something I have always been worried about especially since I take my little boy with me all the time. Heart issues run in my family so I try to usually remember to carry some baby aspirin with me.

Get better soon Judge and good luck!

Your one lucky man, things could have ended worst. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR RECOVERY.

wow I was with my uncle when he went down right in front of me with a massive heart attack ,,me did make it but if he had been alone I could have been much worse .get well soon and look after yourself ,,Dutch

Except for Moose and Deer,I've hunted alone almost all my life. It's always been in the back of my mind that something like this could happen,but,then again,I could get hit by a bus tomorrow,too. Just to hedge my bets,I carry 500mg. Aspirin and a cell phone with the locator turned on. Good luck to you,Judge.

Best of luck JUDGE.
Hope you still get some enjoyment out of the spring woods.

Wow, that is scary. Thanks for sharing. Someone was watching over you to have had an ambulance there.

I worry about things like a heart attack or serious injury, especially since I always hunt solo. To improve my odds a bit whenever I go hunting I carry some aspirin, a whistle, my cell, and a SPOT.

Glad to hear you made it out and got the help you needed.I have always been worried about what could happen when I hunted alone even a broken ankle or leg could turn into a real big problem fast. I carry a cell phone but the reception is not very good and not to many people around to help.

Glad it worked out as well as it did under the circumstances.... If missing turkey hunting is the worst thing that happens, that ain't so bad. May God be on your side
All the best and look forward to reading about your full recovery


PS Scary sh-t for sure

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. My Mom required a triple bypass back in 1987 and is going strong nearly30 years later, in fact still working at age 78. This surgery will make you feel like a new man. Tou have probably felt tired all the time for ages without really knowing why. Be well!
