CJE Eddie Rogers, back home & fine, raring to go back to work

'I didn't even know I was having a heart attack,' popular Taylor County CJE said after returning to Campbellsville, following what he thought was just a case of indigestion. But it necessitated a trip to TRH, a flight to Norton's, and stint operation. Back home, he says he'll take it easy this week, but will be back on at work next Monday, and will continue to campaign for re-election.

Taylor County Judge Executive Eddie Rogers is in high spirits, back home after a suffering a mild heart attack while campaigning for another term Thursday, October 2, 2014.



In an interview with 99.9, Rogers said the episode started with a case of indigestion, chest pain, and a little sweating. He said he felt a tingling senstion. He was taken by the EMS to Taylor Regional Hospital where he was stabilized, then sent to Norton's in Louisville, where renowned cardiologist, Dr. Charles R. Prince treated him found one artery 99% blocked. A stent was implanted and Judge Rogers was sent home to Campbellsville with instructions to take it easy for a week, he said.

The judge is in great spirits. He said he had received hundreds of calls, cards, and well-wishes, including countless ones from his Kentucky CJE colleagues.

In an interview we're replaying today on the Big Dawg, Judge Rogers said, "Heck, I didn't even know I was having a heart attack. When they told me they were airlifting me to Louisville, I asked them if they thought that was necessary." Turned out, it was, and he's grateful, to TRH for stabilizing him and Dr. Prince for timely treatment. Sunday night, he couldn't have been more the energetic man he is, "I feel terrific," he said.
