Back from hospital
I'll elaborate more later, so here is the short version. Mike had BAD chest pain Tuesday night. I called for an ambulance at 1:00 AM because he couldn't walk to the car. Went to Carthage hospital, then transported to Longview where his cardiologist is, and a good big hospital. Heart cath at 6:45 AM. He had 4 blockages in one artery...99%, 99%, 95% and 85%. He did NOT have a heart attack, because there was enough blood trickling through to prevent that. They opened the blockages with 4 stents. Now mind you he already had stents in that artery...so the new ones are fully or partially inside of the old ones. He is not a candidate for bypass, the cardio thinks that would never hold open for him. He now has a total of 11 stents.
Anyway.... we are home and he is feeling pretty good, just weak. I slept at the hospital last night, but I have never been up so long without sleep, lol! Now I am off to the drugstore and the grocery store, because all of my kids will be here late this afternoon!!! My house is upside down, nothing is baked, beds need changed.... ask me if I care I'm just so thankful we aren't planning a funeral
