Frank, my best freind had an attack some years back an when he called me to take him to the hospital, I had to carry him to the car, cuz he couldn't even walk! Just his description of the pain made me hurt! I've never had them an hope to God that I never do!.My buddy had to suffer for almost 2 days before he passed them, and I wouldn't wish somethin like that on my worst enemy( fortunatly, I don't have any enemys to wish it on!) Hope you get better, And they give you some GOOD meds!
