A night at the hospital
Well folks, while I was at the community BBQ, my wife had decided to stay home. About 8:30 I got a call from my Daughter telling me that Mom was heading to the hospital. She was having chest pain. My wife has had two stents and a triple-bypass done over the last 7 years, but is in good health. Well the ambulance came and hauled her off and I went to the hospital. To make a long story short, my wife is fine, even thought we spent the night for observation. Her cardiologist ran the normal slew of tests (he just bought a new Mercades) and everything came back clean. I think it had to do with stress. She is the "go to" person in her side of the family. The rest of that clan don't have a collective intellegence of a tadpole, if ya catch my drift. I know that I'm not the source of stress. . .

Wow, sorry to hear that. Hospitals are no fun, But GREAT she's OK! I know about the "go to"; I'm the one for my kids and grandkids. Laughter is a huge stress reliever so I think you're unstressing her.

Re: A night at the hospital
I was telling Mrd about your wife and the stress and how it's hard so we knocked wood since things have been good lately. Cell phone rings, it's my daughter updating me; her fiancee fainted and landed on his tailbone, night at the hospital and had to go back next day-guess he's got a fractured lumbar and then she said when she went to work the company informs everyone that thay sold the business to another wholesaler so of course she's worried about her job now. I ain't never knocking wood again.

Re: A night at the hospital
Life is like that ol country song: Truck broke down, dog died, and wife ran off with the Fuller Brush salesman. Just goes to prove that not all things end badly. Ya remember that song from Hee Haw?
"Gloom, dispare, agony on me,
Deep dark depression, excessive misery.
If it weren't for bad luck,
I'ed have no luck at all.
Gloom dispare and agony on me."

Re: A night at the hospital
The wife went in to Cardiologist today for a check-up. She has been feeling just fine since the whole thing started. Her Dr. said that it was not her heart. His opinion was that there was a nerve impulse related to her open-heart surgery several years ago. It has to do with the regrowth of nerves on the sternum and ribs and she may have irratated the area while rolling around in bed. Okay folks, get your mind out of the gutter. Remember, I wasn't home when it happened. Ahhhh geez

Glad to hear she is okay,
I can appreciate nerves 'waking up' after surgery. NOT FUN! I had lung surgery twice and "Finally" one set of nerves 40 years later woke up. It was ummmm .... soooo not fun. The human body is amazing.

Glad to hear that VOF. I too have had a few things wake up and an itch on something that's no longer there??? Try scratching that.

My wife has had two more stents put in since that last visit. Just happened two weeks ago. She now has 4 stents and three-way by-pass done. She's wondering why she's still around given her family history. I told her it was to irritate me till I go first.

1st - God has given us so many tasks to complete. I'm so far behind, I'm never going to die!
2nd - I'm just to damn stubborn to die!!
Both cracks people up - but most except #2 as the answer to why I'm still 'here'....
Re: A night at the hospital
BTW, How's your knees doing? I'm finding that I'm getting older and my joints talk to me more often now. Last summer I was putting my motorcycle away and when I put the kickstand down, I dropped the bike on the top of my foot. 685 lbs is a lot of bike to have sitting on the foot. Now when ever the weather changes, my foot hurts. The wife asked why I didn't go to the Dr. I told her I didn't want to try and explain how I managed to park a bike on my foot. Some days when I wake up I make funny noises as I try to get out of bed. Reminds me of an old Bill Cosby comedy routine. I think it was called "49".

Re: A night at the hospital
I'm surprised it didn't break a bone. My daughter had her bike fall over on her and kinda messed her knee up, had to wear a brace and still hurts.

My knee - here is your answer:
Next topic please.
I actually just deleted the answer I was going to post, that is how frustrated I am.
