Get well soon Scott.
I had a HA in 04, got two stents and cut over 1000 cords and 150,000 or so ft of hardwood and building logs since then, plus all the other donkey dinking around I've done.
Nobody is down and out till they say they are. Just as one can have intestinal constipation, one can have constipation of the veins that lead to the heart. No Biggy, just a glorified hangnail, regardless of what they say.
Hang in there Scott! Better days are ahead. Trust me. Three months transpirre where you may be in denile about what happened, but that is a normal part of the recovery. The best years are ahead of you. Just don't do too many of their drugs. The heart, like every other muscle is meant to work hard. They told me in intensive care I'd never pick up a saw again . Fook that! I'm to inlove with my 385.
