Ahem. I know I don't need to alert you to this, but... There is a major grub approaching on PfP.

Thank you so much. Seems we have been going through so many crisis situations lately. My oldest daughter's husband who is fifty years of age and has been on blood pressure medicine for over a year had a mild heart attack yesterday morning. She rushed him to an ER at a nearby hospital, they ran tests and then rushed him to a major hospital here by ambulance. They immediately took him to OR for angioplasty on a valve behind his heart. He had to lie flat on his back for six hours before they would move him from ICU to a room on the cardiac floor. My daughter said they had him on morphine after the angioplasty and he was not in any pain, but lying on his back was tiring for him and he kept wanting to turn on his side and they had to restrain him. She told me the stint was a metal mesh and they gave her a card to put in his billfold when he has to go through security gates. He has now been transferred to his room and seems to be doing fine. He will be started on a blood thinner and Dr. said he would probably be on it for at least a year. He has never been a patient in a hospital before and Dr. was amazed about that. He originally is from Rhodesia, now called Zimbabwe, and left there when he was still a teenager; however, his cardiac Dr. at this hospital is from Zambia and he felt very comfortable with him and I am sure when he improves they will have lots to talk about before he leaves to go home, maybe tomorrow or Friday. His Mother was British and he has a strong British accent which he has not lost here in Texas and we all love to listen to him speak and tease him about words that he pronounces differently than we do,i.e., vit a min, and ga rage. Keep going for those stress tests MM, changes can happen so quickly and keep getting good exercise to keep that lazy beat away. My Dr. keeps telling me how exercise is an answer to most health situations and how important it is to achieve good health for mind and body. Sometimes it is hard to do sitting in front of a computer for hours on end. I try most of the time to get up and walk up and down the stairs twice about every hour or so as the only real exercise I get is bowling about two and a half hours twice a week. Signing off to do that this morning.
