#7....Say It Ain't So??????

Well, I managed to make it four days out of the hospital, but continued to feel terribly sick. I called one of my friends (Colleen) after talking to the doc's office and she came and got me to take me to my appointment. Thank God for Colleen, as she was with me in Walmart getting a prescription filled when I got the phone call from the doc's office letting me know the news. Long story short...my heart enzymes were elevated double than what they were when I had the stent put in on Monday, so back into the hosptial I went. It turned out that they had missed another blockage on the right side of my heart and I was having another heart attack. They were able to clear the blockage with angioplasty and I feel SOOOOOO much better!

My mom and my sister Kristin came to take care of me and it has been a challenge for me to be on my best behavior (sit still, rest, don't do too much, etc.....) so I don't put them in the hospital (or loony bin) worrying about me. Thanks to my sweetie of a son, Tyler for bringing Mom up to be with me as well!

Mom went home today. :-( I loved having her here and spending time with her as she is and always will be so special to me. Kristin will be here through the end of the week managing my activities. :-) Both have been God-Sends!
Thanks again to the friends and family who came to visit, called, and sent heart-felt prayers my way, and a special thanks to my trooper of a niece, Randi for digging the veggie burger bite I lost while trying to eat lying flat on my back, out from under my armpit! Now that's love! :-)

Dayum, Kelly! You're making me nervous!

Glad the docs got you patched up again - and you are in my prayers.

I know, Jeff! Right now I think I could make coffee nervous! :-) I've been referred to as a "cat with 9 lives"....hope this isn't the case as that would leave me with only two lives left! Yeegads!

Thanks for the thoughts & prayers. How are you doing with everything?
