adamhanlon 0 Posted August 14, 2022 Please forgive the somewhat irreverent title! Recently, while preparing for a dive, Wetpixel Live presenter and Wetpixel Editor @adamhanlon had a heart attack, and he and @Alex_Mustard discuss the events surrounding it and his prognosis going forward. As a spoiler, expect to see Adam at a dive site near you sometime soon and in the interim, normal service is gradually resuming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Architeuthis 121 Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) Dear Adam, Lisi and me are concerned to hear about your heart attack. We wish you all the best for getting well. We know you are a fighter... Please take the warnings of Alex serious and take yourself time for a peaceful, unstressed and generous recovery period. I know several people (including my father), who did not take the first infarct too serious and it became a disaster...

waterpixel 64 Posted August 14, 2022 I'm sorry to hear this but very glad you are feeling better! Please take care and be patient with the recovery process! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajay 12 Posted August 14, 2022 Adam, First of all, best wishes for a complete (or near-complete) recovery. Also, many thanks for sharing - health issues can be somewhat personal, but sharing your experience will have more value than you may first think, especially for several of the regular members of wetpixel who are getting on in the years (like me). I'm sure you will receive more good advise from other experienced divers, and we'd appreciate if you would share on this forum. Personally, not being a doctor, I suppose I can only trot out the old banality about not taking on any responsibility that could increase stress.. perhaps the famous 2016 book of Mark Manson might have good pointers on how to achieve that :-). Kind regards, Ajay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimG 62 Posted August 14, 2022 Really hope you are on the road quickly to a good recovery, Adam. But, FFS, as everyone says, take it easy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwiftFF5 134 Posted August 15, 2022 Adam, as others have said already, best wishes for a full and speedy recovery. Please follow the advice of your therapists, etc, they do know what they are doing. As an EMT, I see too many folks who don't follow their advice, don't make the necessary lifestyle changes and we end up seeing them later on. Don't let that be you, and stay safe.

ChrisRoss 150 Posted August 16, 2022 Wishing you a speedy recovery Adam, certainly take it easy. I'm sure the doctors can come up with a staged plan to get you back to your previous level of fitness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
