Monday

a cute what !! ?? ~

All joking aside ...
It's not a funny thing.

Angina ...  A heart condition marked by paroxysms of chest pain due to reduced oxygen to the heart

Last night after the birthday party and a riveting game watching of the Packers vs Cowboys ... the kids all left for the night ... I was getting ready for bed ... and it hit me.  Taking  Nitro tabs didn't do the trick this time around. 

I ended up spending 4 hours in the Emergency Room ...  then transferred down to the Intensive Care Unit until 7:00 tonight to calm things down.

It was horrible.

BUT ...

I'm feeling better now and that's all that matters  :)  Happy dance ... happy dance.


Until next time...
So it goes in my neck of the woods.

    I didn't realize you had a heart issue. Take care of yourself and I'm sure you do all the things you are supposed to do.

    I hope you do not have to go through that again. I don't have angina but my second husband did and nito did not do much good. He died at 37 but he was functioning on half a heart. I just get really winded and weak but I think I am doing somuchbetter since heput me on that really expensive med. You take care Mel!!!

    Good to hear you're doing better, Mel. The hospital is a terrible place to be when you're ill. How do they expect you to get better when they keep bugging you and waking you up?
