What a weekend we had as my hubby started with a few twinges and pains in his chest Firday night which he just blew off as indigestion. It came and went..came and went the next day until about 8:00 pm Saturday night and he came and asked me what acid reflux felt like. There was no typical pain down his left arm so I called my mom..tried taking his BP and the batteries were dead and then I touched his hands and they were exremely cold for him. He is always warm. So I packed him up to the ER. Without hesitation they took one look at him and took him straight back. Skipping most of the details it turned out he had a 100% blockage in his main artery,leading to a heart attack. A non-smoker, non-drinker,healthy weight and diet. Doctor figures heredity factor.
Needless to say I am exhausted adn have not eaten well since Sunday so you know how well that sets with our crohns and IBS !1 Hopefully I can get it back in order while caring for hubby,

What a dreadful ordeal for you to have to go through... and no doubt frightening as well. I hope things settle back to normal very soon. I am sending tons of hugs and positive thoughts for you. Take care... xxx

Things are going pretty good. The doctors are holding off on letting him go back to work for another month so he is getting a bit antsy but we will get by. He is learning what it's like to be like us in dealing with health issues and not feeling 100 %
