Posting from the hospital. Guess what?!?! I had a mild heart event. I felt really bad Saturday afternoon and especially after. Chest and gastro pain really bad so I went to an emergency clinic and they had to admit me to the hospital for at least 24 hours. Fuck!!!!!!

They gave me a nitro pill and the pain stopped and then it showed on an EKG.

Holy shit! I can't believe this. I am healthy. Not over weight at all. Eat right and exercise. I don't know what to think.

    I know it sounds stupid to be worried about the show but I am just in shock right now! I can't believe it!

    And I am wide awake.

    And they let me keep my iPhone so that is how I am posting.

    Anyway further testing will tell me more. Wow!!

    Wow, that's crazy! This must have all happened right after the ACL taping? It was nice meeting you before the Simulcast. I can't believe you're in the hospital now ...

    Take care and get feeling better Flagg ....

    I was feeling bad Friday and before the taping but yeay it got really bad during and after.

    Running a lot of tests. Could be an ulcer, which I have never had. Initial EKG and the fact that nitro made the pain stop makes them think heart. So does family history. Rooting for an ulcer.

    That's terrible. Hope you get some good news and it's an ulcer rather than anything more serious.

    Here's to getting back to full fitness and your next PJ gig!

    +1

    No kidding.... I'd be slapping my hubby if he was worried about going to miss a PJ show.

    fecker...I'm glad you are still alive, honey!! *whacks*

    I'm so glad you are ok.... and if the doctor's order is not to go to ACL.... please listen.

    there'll be other PJ shows.... and remember, EV said they were only halfway done with their career.

    So... there you go. :D

    Damn, so sorry to hear it man. I'm sure it's a small consolation that you won't have to sit in dirt soup all day long in shitty weather. Feel better soon and come rock the remaining LA shows with us.

    bump. someone help him out?

    at this point im on the fence about taking a backpack with me cause my old ass wants to be way up close. shoulder to shoulder, chest to back deep is a pain with a pack on. if i end up taking the backpack i can pick one up for you, and put it in a plastic bag to keep it dry and clean. i can also grab one at the end of the show, but id hate to risk waiting that long.
    I miss you hippiemom.
  • FlaggFlagg Posts: 5,856
    Thanks. I don't want anyone to miss a spot or anything but I just figured I someone is picking one up for themselves anyway.

    Pearl Jam playing the first Texas show in 6 years. I am in a hospital bed.

    Fantastic.

    Dude, this is terrible. I feel so bad for you.

    But you couldn't have waited until Monday before going to the emergency room? (I kid, I kid). Get well soon.

    Another for team Ulcer! Hope your feeling better soon and its nothing serious.

    BTW, this is a good argument for not limiting merch to just 1 item...no one could pick up an extra shirt in these situations.

    relax man ... feel better ... more shows will come. Maybe not to Texas ... but, now you know to live life in the now and you'll travel for some shows perhaps.

    anyway ... hope you're feeling 100% soon.
