Today at the Arizona state meet legend Ron Johnson after setting a new American Record in the 200 breastroke suffered a severe heart attack in the warm down pool. Thankfully the lifeguards and masters swimmer/physician Kurt Dickson and others we're able to start immediate life support until paramedics arrived and rushed him to the hospital
As of 5pm this evening all I know is that Ron had had regained consciousness, appeared to have not suffered brain damage and was breathing on his own...however he did have 5-6 clogged arteries and was going into immediate open heart surgery.....please send your prayers and thoughts this evening for his recovery....
Competing is good for the heart until you have a heart attack from it. Gotcha.
Who do you got?
Matt's last comment is correct. Everyone should get a regular check up. I get mine. Have another scheduled. Seeing the eye doc next week, etc, etc. Just got a mini check up for the sole purpose of getting term life insurance. They test for everything.
Fortunately, I have more than the mere appearance of being healthy. So I think I can safely compete. Gotcha. As Billy said, better to go at life rather than be a turnip.
