    Default I Almost posted my last auction

    Just as things were looking up, things had to take a sudden turn around.

    I'd been having chest pains for a few days but ignored it as it was just like heartburn, no pain radiating into my neck or arm, I took my GTN spray as I have had previous heart attacks but the spray had no effect so even moreso convincing me that it was just heartburn.
    Then suddenly my chest cramped up and the lights went out.
    I awoke to find myself in an ambulance with the lights and sirens blaring, yes it had been a really bad heart attack and they had to perform CPR and use the defib to get me started again.
    Had it not been for the rapid response paramedic and the paramedic crew I wouldn't be here typing now.

    After a few days in hospital and a lecture about not waiting so long next time I am back home again, rather weak but all the better for being at home again. Phew that was a close call...

    Scary!

    My second one happened on the golf course - on 17th hole when I was playing well !!!
    As I didnt finish the round and couldnt sign my card - all bets were off, and couldnt collect any of my winnings!

    As you say tho, the rapid response paramedics get there quick.

    Now.......get on with listing!!!

    Glad to hear you ok

    I had already instructed my wife on how to deal with E-bid.. after all I didn't want buyers thinking I'm one of the absent sellers.

    Now she's watching me like a hawk... I don't know if its so she can check the insurance policy or what

    If she keeps sneaking up behind you while you are concentrating on listing and going:

    BOO!!!

    then you have cause to doubt her intentions.

    Good to hear that you gave the grim reaper a kick in the crotch though. Take it easy.

    What a scare for everyone. Glad you are feeling better.

    Are you planning to shop ebid's extensive jewelry category and select a BIG sparkly gift for your good lady (just in case there is a $500,000 insurance policy out on you)?
