last night. We were getting ready to go to bed, and I started having these pains in my jaw and down my neck and arm. Vern took my bp and it was 140/79 and kept wanting to take me to the emergency room and I told him the out of work people use it for their own private doctor and I would still be waiting to be seen.   I know that I should of went, being that there are such serious heart problems in my family and I have had problems before, but they always blame it on my hiatal hernia. So I am taking it easy today, I am going to have Vern take me to Target and I better get a presentable night gown LOL. I hope that your all having a good day, and don't pull stupids like me, but I don't like to go to the dr ROTFLOL.  You know what I watched Healthy Appetite yesterday and got a really good recipe off the Food Network, go to Healthy Appetite and go to Maple/mustard chicken thighs and copy the recipe its delicious.You will find it either on the main page or look up June 7th show,  I made it last night only I used chicken breast  neither Vern or I like the thighs. I made her mashed sweet potato's they were excellent and whittle old vern even liked them.


What you all going to do today? stay cool and dry if you do nothing else. I better go and get some breakfast and then have Vern take me shopping.


Think the good thoughts and have the sweet smiles.

Mindy I am glad that your alright, we don't need anything to happen. Vern did take my bp wrong, he just in start and its suppose to go thru its paces before you hit start, and thats why my bp was so high. I took it again last night and it was within normal range for me, 116/69. I am going to get checked out I am going to call the clinic in the am and set up an appt. Our hospital is a good one but the poor use it as their private dr and they can't be turned away. We do have a ICU head across the street and her dh is the fire chieft, I would call them to assist. I knew last night that I should go in but I told Vern he will be there all night, as it happens they were swamped. I feel pretty good today...Take care of yourself tonight, hugs

Bea I won't ingnore it, if fact I am calling someone in the am, and have the office put an EKG on me and at least check that out, they can tell if you had a heart attack. It lasted to long and I think it was possibly severe Sinus again. My face and teeth hurt and I just plain hurt all over. I took some zyrtec and it seem to stop the pain in my face and around my teeth. Either way I will get this checked, hope that your son is doing ok now since the stent....hugs
