Found out I'm not going to die today. 2

Went to the cardiolgist and my heart funtion has returned to almost normal. He said I can resume my normal activities and am not in any immediate danger of dying. Happy I didn't end up offing myself a little while back hah. Probably still can't drink and do cocaine again, but you can't win them all.
How's everyone else doing this fine evening?

One of my best friends is 52 and was always a massive stim head. He ends up in the hospital with heart issues when he slips up these days so doesn't do them anymore. We laugh together about the fact that he had to nearly die several times to give up the drugs. Thank fuck I've managed to kick stims without going through that shit.
Good news man, happy for you. I'm doing great. At work as always..

I remember your gym posts in the physical well-being part of the forum. Did you end up having to stop working out because of your heart condition? Or has working out helped it?

I can relate to that. I probably never would have quit drinking if not for health issues. Funny don't even miss it.
On the shroomery while at work, sounds like a nice job.

Fuckin' A man. I don't hear other people say it much but that's exactly how I feel. I'm one hell of an adventurer and that's gonna be the greatest adventure ever. And if there turns out to be nothing there.. well fuck, I'm not gonna know about it!!

Yeah it's pretty sweet alright, they pay me a fuckload too simply because I have a very niche skillset which serves the financial sector. I mean the banks make the money anyway, the scheming fucking cunts, so I got no qualms about pocketing it and doing as near as fuck all as I can for the pleasure.
Saying that though, my days are numbered. If it were not for the fact that they're tyring to train Indians, who work for about 1/8th of what I do, to take my job, I couldn't keep at this deskbound life another year even if I wanted to. It's fucking soul crushing. I'm running off to become a farmer in the middle of pissing nowhere in Australia with my cousin as soon as I can. Concrete jungles are NOT healthy places for human beings.

Yeah, I was in and out of the hospital a couple months and pretty much couldn't do anything. Went from 220 lbs to 150 in six months. I could barley even walk there for a bit. I'm back to a normal persons activity level now though. I got the ok to lift again as long as it's lightish and high rep. No more powerlifting for the time being.

But yeah my pops almost died just recently from a crystal od. Was pretty fucked up. That's just one of a dozen times him an my mom almost died from od. That's why you gotta be careful with your dosage and frequency bredren. 
Yeah, I never went to crazy with the coke. It wasn't the cause of my issues. Probably didn't help though. hah

Feel you on that jsb. I'm stuck in the city right now and can't wait to get out of here. Gotta get back to work for a bit before that happens. Farming in Australia sounds a lot more enjoyable than working a desk job that is for sure.

It's really nice to see good news it's honestly much needed for me to see someone have something good happening to them.

Had a series of strokes out of nowhere about 6 months ago. In the hospital they found I had an ejection fraction of 20 and vtach. The low ejection fraction caused a clot in my heart that caused the strokes. Found out I had myocarditis most likely from an auto immune disease. Still working with rheumatologist to get all of those issues sorted. Hopeful on that front because I'm starting to feel a bit better now.
That is the short of it. Crazy looking back on it now just 6 months later.

None directly before I got sick. I did coke maybe like 5 times this year before the health issues. There was no scarring or damage on my heart, so it was pretty much dropped as a potential issue.
