Not good news for him. The Dr says it appears my dh has had a silent heart attack. They did an EKG on dh when he had his physical and sent him to the Cardiologist today. On Friday Dh will have a nuclear stress test so they can get a clearer picture of just what is going on. Dh also has blood test done last week and his cholesterol and glucose are too high as well. So he also has to have the 2 hour glucose tolerance test done as well. Dh is pretty bummed but we are not going to worry to much until we get  all the test done and see just what he is facing.


Looks like it is his turn to have a few medical problems. Glad mine are over and I am feeling good again the bladder infection is much better thank heavens.


Took our dgs with us to the Dr office today and I must say I am very pleased he was such a good boy. Now I hope he will be just as good on Friday.

Throwing some more magic dust into the mix here, too, Mare! Wow, you guys just are going through a tough streak, aren't you? I, too, hope it is just a lot worse-sounding than it really is for Jim. I know they are doing all this because they simply cannot ignore it and want to be proactive to prevent any more events.


Take care and let us know what happens. Glad Evan is being a good boy. That always helps!

HI Red


Well it seems that is usually the way it goes around here everything goes wrong for a while and then things smooth out again. It is those bumps in the road that let us know just how precious life is.


I am keeping a postive outlook on this and will just have to see what we are facing once they have done more testing.


Love ya

Hi Doreen


Seems we are having a few bumps lately. Once we find out what is going on with his heart then we can start to make things better.


He is actually just upset that his body is giving him so much trouble. Says it makes him feel old right now. I don't blame him but this will get better.


HUGS

Wow, that is scary news! I'm w/Sooze tho - at least now they will give you an idea of signs to look for and preventive things to do, provide monitoring etc, and not have to be faced with something no one expected...

This getting old stuff sure has it's drawbacks!

Talk to ya after the 8th if our trip goes as planned and hopefully by then it will be looking like better news.

Take care of yourself, your DH and that DGS :)
