OK,
Here it is The Dr.s that I have seen so far say they have no explanation for what Happend except low Potacium levels. Went to the Mohave family Picnic. Got winded every time I had to reset the anchor. Then we went to the after party at the Pixalateds new place. Everything was fine till I caried my daughter out to the truck. My left arm got tingly, I was a little short of breath but fine. Desided to leave because I was having a hard time regaining my breath. Yesterday I had no energy what so ever and tons of muchle cramps and my left arm is now losing strength. This morning I called the Dr.s office and reset my apointment. I will see him Thursday morning. But just wandering if any of you have ever had any similar problems ???
Thank you
Jim
Hello everyone !!! First we want to thank our entire team along with Short Bus, Four Q and Team Shocker for their support and help. Next, we need to thank all of our sponsors for their support.
As some of you may know, we fell out of the race in the 9th lap. We were running 4 minute laps with a hurt engine. A last minute problem before we left for the race caused us to use an older set of heads, that had excessive spring pressure for cam break in. When we arrived in Parker, we started to test. Somehow we got junk in the needle and seat, at quarter lap the fuel pump just started dumping fuel into the carb, which caused us to wash down the brand new engine with fuel. We flushed the engine several times with fresh oil to remove all traces of gas. At 8:00 am on race day, we were still unsure if we would race or not. At first start, oil pressure was at 20-25 psi, the last time the gassy oil was changed, the oil lines were mistakenly put in the wrong spot, this was done at midnight. Fixed this small detail, started engine and 80 psi. Mad dash to get inspected and registered, We were going racing. Things were going fine, at lap 5 we blew a water line, came in to pit for repair and top off. 4 laps later the engine stopped running, we were out. Upon inspection in the pit, the cam flatspotted from the spring pressure. No chance of getting back in the race, but a job well done by everyone !!!
About one hour later, everyone one was watching race and having a good time. Jim came over and sat down next to me, he was talking with MrsBordsmnj and MrsBoatnam. All of a sudden he grabbed his chest, lost consciousness and almost fell over. Again the TEAM came thru, we kept Jim semi conscious, got the medic and an ambulance. They placed Jim into the ambulance, Jim's heartbeat was about 202, they gave him an injection to stop his heart and then restart his heart before they went to the hospital. The doctor's stated that if we did not get help when we did that we would have lost him. They wanted him to stay in the hospital, but Jim was more worried about the team and boat. We made arrangements for him to be seen by his own doctor here at home. The doctors in Parker and here at home have confirmed that the Bells Palsy was in no way shape or form the cause of his heart problems. Bells Palsy affects the brain and NOT the heart. Jim is now resting comfortably (LOL) in the hospital, waiting for the rest of the tests that have been planned for him. At this time, he will be there until tomorrow, unless something happens. I will post from time to time, to give updates as they happen.
Again, thanks to everyone for their support, before, during and after the race.
Thanks
Mrs ST
Jim had a physical, before he actually committed to the race and before he began obtaining sponsors and a team. That was one month before the race. As I stated in my previous post:

Thanks to everyone !!! Jim is resting comfortably. He misses being on the board. He will be back soon. He says hello. He is already planning for next year, but at a slower pace. Like he said today, I have a full year to get ready instead of just 3 1/2 weeks. Also if anyone has any pics of the boat, please post !!!
Thanks,
Mrs ST
JIM go see a another doctor.NOW...
Almost sounds like a blocked valve, sounds like you need to be scoped out around the heart. Think I would get a second opinion. P.S. got the loader, just have not had time to try it out yet :squiggle:
Jim,
If it was me I would NOT wait till Thurs. to see a Dr. If my regular Dr. couldnt se me till then I would walk in to the ER complaining of your symptoms and they will take action quickly.
Sorry to hear about all this but, get it taken care of soon
I had similar symtoms to yours (except the pain was across my back) and called the doctor. They told me to GET A RIDE TO THE ER NOW!!! I had one small artery blocked and was back to work in 3 days. Have they done an angiogram yet? I actually waited to call until the next day and they all gave me hell!! Good luck!!
Creg
Jim, have you ever heard the tern,...SECOND OPINION?
go the the ER you will have better results than if you wait and have the biggie!
think about your daughter!
Todd
Jim, don't mess around with this. Go get checked out right away.
Jim - My dad had some testing done on him in the spring because he was feeling like shit , stress test and such. Dr said he is fine ,good to go. Three weeks ago he went to another doctor for a back operation and he looked at the test results from the other Dr and said I see you had a heartatic in the spring. Dad says thats bullshit, the Dr said its in your records. Holyshit my dad is pissed, he cant get back opperation now because he has to take heart meds now. Go see another Dr because some are DUMB MOTHER F---ERS.
Jim,
I agree with everyone else, do not wait go get it checked out immediately.
Jim if you can get to vegas and have them check you out bullhead is not known for there medical greatness
