for such a long time.

Been busy closing down the office, it's bittersweet, but at leassst it's closed now and I don't have to worry about it. It was tough though, in the middle of getting everything sold and moved Dave had to have an emergency triple heart bypass in december. It went very well considering that the doctors said that if they hadn't caught it he would be dead within 3 days. They had him on a nitroglycerin drip for the day proceeding the surgery. As of this moment his heart is pumping blood at 40%, which apparently is good considering the trauma that his heart went through, and it should improve with time. I can't believe that he was only in the hospital for 4 days following surgery and then sent home. He did have a bout with pneumia and had to go back in for a day, but that is over with. So i think that we are finally on the mend. I'm very happy with his progress. Today however as we were driving around he states, Anne something is wrong my arms are numb espically the right one i can't move them very easily. I gave him an aspirin quickly (always in my purse:) ) and was in the process of taking him to VA, he said he was fine and that he wanted to go home and have a nap.

WELL I cam all but unglued suspecting that he just had a TIA, and explained it to him. But he is just so sick and tired of hospitals he said!!! So we comprimised, after his nap if i have to carry him (250lbs) on my back to the car I am taking him to the VA. It's hard to argue with im considering his heart problems now i DON'T, need or want him to have a heart attack in the middle of argueing to tke him to the hospital, i just wish he wasn't so stubborn.

Will let you know what is going on when I can.

thankf for all your thoughts and prayers.

Anne,

 

(((hugs))) and prayers to you and Dave. Glad to hear his surgery went well; however, sad to hear of the episode today. No, you don't want him to have a heart attack if he puts up to much of a fuss over going to the VA. On the other hand, he might possibly have experienced a TIA(s) that need to be addressed before a full blown stroke occurs.

 

I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. Please update us when you have the chance.
