An MI at age 38!!!!!

Well, I knew it was going to happen sooner or later. Saturday afternoon, after arguing with both boys and their crazy mother about visitation. Started having chest pain and radiating into my shoulder, cheek, and neck and face. My BP was up, and my head hurt.

So, today I went to the PCP's office where I have been going for yrs. and she is wonderful!! She listened to me, and did an EKG and gave me the verdict that I had had an MI. Figures!!!

The icing on the cake was the fact that Caleb, the older stepson said he hated me and he was going to kill me himself. Then he laughed at me and said I was lying just to get him in trouble!!!!!

Figures!

Any good thoughts and prayers would be appreciated!!!

Oh, my gosh, Anne---that's SCARY!!! Prayers being sent for you, not only for your health but for some relief from the stress........who's going to watch over your family if you're not here to take care of things? Please take care of yourself, and do whatever it takes to get your stress levels down, even if it means calling the cops on that nasty stepson to teach him a lesson about threatening people!!

I do believe every step child has said such things at one time or another. Mine, born of my loins, were really mean to my DH when we got together. Now they all love him as much, or more than me. Go figure.

Go read the humor @ this site. It has saved my sanity on more than one night when I felt stressed. Humor really is the best medicine, except perhaps for animals, they do wonders!:yeah:

I'm so sorry you are going through all of this and I will be praying for all of you. I hope it all works out but PLEASE take care of yourself first and foremost. Hugs.

Hang in there, Anne. Hope you feel better very soon. Drive up to Bossier and waste a few bucks on the slots.

Take care of yourself!

Did you think at the time that it might be a heart attack or did you attribute it to something else?

Good thoughts!

Yeah!! Nothing short of a sledgehammer and a stiff drink!! (Just joking! I don't drink, but I'm not saying a word about the sledgehammer!!

Thanks, Anne, RNC I have cried and cried until I thought I was out of tears, then now with all my nurses,com family, I am crying now. I am at a loss. I love then, well, Caleb until recently. What in the world am I supposed to do? Grin and bear it?? I don't think so. I think it's time to make out my will, since I have to live with him!:banghead::banghead:. This is a pic before wer got married, boy has he changed for the worse!!
