Flowers from my dear friends in town
Me
I have been away but not by choice...
On Fathers Day my son and I were walking
- up our long driveway when I had to stop
- because I started having pains in my chest and having trouble
- catching my breath. Then my mouth went numb.
- So he drove me to emergency and they thought I
- was having a heart attack. So by ambulance to the big city hospital.
- Tests after tests came back normal but the
- cardiologist were not buying it and wanted to do an
- angioplasty. So they scheduled it and had surgery the
- next day where they found a 99% percent blockage.
- Long story short I have a shiny new stent inside me
- and I am now feeling much more better.
- Glad to be alive!!!!
- I usually don't write about all this stuff but I felt there
- were a few things I could point out.
- For weeks I was always feeling tired.
- I had had some chest pain but thought it was
- acid reflux.
- My jaw had been sore on the right side for
- some time.
- I was winded going up the stairs.
- My complexion was pale.
- I just didn't add it all up. I had had a physical
- and all was fine. So ladies be aware our
- symptoms are not the same as men's.
- I was so lucky that my son was there, that the
- doctors were not fooled by my first set of tests
- and it was caught in time.
- So take the time to listen to your body.
- I am anxious to get back to painting.
- Sorry about the numbers on the left. This happened once
- before and I can't remember how to get them GONE.....!*** :-(
