Where do your priorities lie !

Where do your priorities lie !  I have learned a very sobering<b> lesson </font></b>this week, which shook me to the core ! I saunter through life with a relatively positive attitude, and I would class myself as an average guy. I have a lovely house, a 15 year old car, albeit a nice one, and I don't hanker after materialistic gadgets and trinkets ! Hahaha, I couldn't afford them anyway ! The young lads at work laugh incredulously over the fact I have an iPhone 5s, So out of date, but it still bloody works LOL. Holidays, well I've travelled abroad in my younger days and now what precious time I get off work I try to spend with my family who are spread out from the midlands to the far southwest, so getting see them regularly is difficult because I also work most Saturdays. Anyway on Monday morning, my day off, I had been on Affairlook to pick up my messages and see who was about, and messaging a v good lady friend of mine on the phone, I decided to have some lunch. I got up from the Kitchen table and as I was preparing lunch I felt a flutter in my chest, didn't think much of it and sat down to eat. Within a minute my heart was pounding in my chest, I felt strange and my hands were clammy and trembling. I have a blood pressure monitor and new it recorded heart rate, the result ? 1905 and 115 beats per min, I knew something was badly wrong, I'd been sat still not running a marathon. I called an Ambulance, and I went and sat on the sofa after leaving the front door open so they could just walk in, remember I'm on my own so you have to think of these simple things like unlocking the door whilst you're having a potential coronary ! The worst part of the story is it took 30 minutes for the ambulance to arrive, absolutely everything you think about while your heart is trying to release itself from your ribcage, is you imagining that this is it, the worst scenario, the worst outcome, nobody there to oppose those negative thoughts ! By the time the paramedics got to me, the Adrenalin had kicked in and I was shaking uncontrollably and my stomach was pumping in and out like a demented belly dancer. I spent 10 hours in A&E on ECG and blood samples Twice ! as the first wasn't conclusive ! There was no damage to my heart, my blood pressure returned to normal, and there was no detectable reason why it happened ! So the message for me anyway, is this ! It matters not in the slightest about the fancy house the fancy car, the exotic holiday, the fancy ring, the latest gadgets ! What matters most is your Health, your Family and your friends ! Concentrate on them, forget about all the trinkets, because I can assure you when you're having a heart attack (or a potential one) you won't be thinking materialistically then !!!!
