I’m back from the other side , due to a major heart attack in March this year .Have to say there not much action on the other side as far as  i could tell. In any event it did make me realise how fragile life can be .I had no symptoms and it was only by chance that i called in at my GP who had just received my blood test results .Sit down he urged as did his nurse. Why I enquired .What is the problem ——- Ahhhhh you are in the middle of having an heart attack was the response .You have about 2 hours before i’ts too late .

Me: Well that’s plenty it is only 15 minutes to the hospital ,so plenty of time .

Doc: Mr Kalma we need to call an ambulance right now . Me: You can’t Doc my car is in the car park and I want to drive it home . Alright then suit yourself but remember 2 hours .Me : sure Doc all will be apples. So off i go as it happens my wife is playing golf so i call her and tell her i have a headache and a bit of a nose bleed can she come home and give me a ride to the nearest hospital .Wife: sure i’m just finishing my put, and I’m on my way .Me: thanks Darling see you soon .

M: I’m now back home parking the car , neighbour asks ” how are you klaas ? Me: Fine thank you , but I’m having a serious heart attack .Neighbour: Heart attack!? Me: Yes nothing to worry about just grabbing my toothbrush and pyjamas so Sue my wife can take me to Hospital when she gets here from golf.  Neighbour: Shouldn’t I call an ambulance for you? Me: NO thank you just keep an eye out if you like .

Me: I go inside , Knock knock on the door . Me: Opens the door, another neighbour called Keith could you please help me lift something ,I have a bad back. Me: sorry  Keith i’m having a heart attack and waiting to go to hospital . Neighbour disappears like lightning . Me” waiting with my bag out front of house .

Sue arrives. Me: I get in the car and ask Sue ,how did you play? Sue” OK ,but what is wrong with you ? Me: Nothing much , just a hard attack. Sue: A heart attack! Me: Yes we need to get to hospital soon. Off we go . Arrive at hospital inside 15 minutes Still at least one hour to go before I die. Whats the rush ? We: Walk into emergency and within seconds I’m bundled onto a trolley by a horde of nurses and specialists and taken at breakneck speed to theatre ,where it either begins or ends. Cheers hope the funny side of this factual story comes through.
