My Husband Had A Heart Attack On Saturday

[Mytime]

Wow! Big :hug: hodge. I understand where your coming from. I think you just wrote my story. My H had a heart attack last June. He had two stents put in but up through the Groin . I is called the widow maker:(. H wasn't happy about all the meds, so I got him a weekly pill case. He fills it up once a week. I had the same feeling as you, he'll be alright. Hoping you both the best :)

Thank you so much, MyTime. I'm so sorry you guys went through this, too. And, ick, through the groin -- nasty. My hubby was lucky that they were able to do it through the wrist. The only restriction he's on right now is to not lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk for a week. No biggie. I can handle the garbage.

We're keeping his meds by the coffeemaker. I have a pill case, too, but he doesn't seem to need it.

Ha, for the first time, he is on more meds than me! Not sure why I find that kind of amusing, but, eh, dark humor, I guess. I am relieved he is on them all now, because he clearly probably should have been on some before this happened. They might have prevented the heart attack? Maybe not. I don't know. I'm just glad for the feeling of security they bring now. . . . Lipitor, Plavix, baby aspirin, a couple of others I can't remember the names of now. And our kitchen is full of heart healthy foods, thanks to my shopping when we got home Monday. We've always eaten pretty healthily, but have had to make some minor adjustments. Still need a few more things that I've thought of since. But we're okay for now.

Lol I felt the same about the meds! ROFLAO

 

[hodge]

Haha!! Wow, glad I'm not alone!! Yes, we've got to take humor where we can find it!

Good to hear he's on the upswing!
You sound great too. And for the record, dark humor is still humor and generally makes us smile and often chuckle.
Sooo....it's beautiful too♡

Wow Hodge, That was a lot to go through in such a short time. Glad he is okay now.

 

[hodge]

Yes, Trying. I think that's one of the aspects of this that makes this situation so difficult emotionally. I mean, it's like a miracle that they can remedy this in such a short time, but that same miracle makes it so we are kind of left in limbo afterwards. It seems so bizarre to be on your deathbed one day and then be taking a walk three days later. Thanks for your support :-).

Thank you for your message, Chimera. I really appreciate it. I'm glad I have moments where I sound good :). And feel good, actually. Not right now, however. I emailed my therapist yesterday and got a call from the clinic today that she retired and now I've got to see someone new. Isshy. Which means probably half the first appointment will be taken up with me getting her up to speed on my situation. She will probably have my chart in front of her, but that's not the same as getting to know someone. And I definitely want a therapist who will take the time to get to know me in person and not just from my chart. I don't really know what all is in my chart, don't know if there's a record of all my traumas, how far I've come and in what ways, etc. I must have one of the largest charts in that clinic. I've seen it. It's two huge bulging folders.
