I remember showing up to set the game up and I remember coming to my senses in the cardiac ward at Foothills. I don't remember anything in between.
Over 90% of an artery was blocked and the plaque ruptured and that was that. The cardiologist said that the sports where there is lots of stopping and starting can trigger the event. Basically, I had a bomb in my chest and that type of physical activity is the trigger. I had no known heart issues.

This is one of those things I think about when they talk about who is "in a risk group" for something.
Tons of people walk around with health issues they know nothing about.
Modern medicine is pretty great though.
