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!!!
ded it, and I will print that out to remind myself on the great friends at allnurses,com. You guys are the greatest!!!!! Anne, RNC - I'm just SO sad right now!
:icon_hug::icon_hug: HUGS TO YOU, Anne! Here's hoping that this is the LAST MI you experience. Get those stressors under control; take care! Thoughts and prayers going out to you.
((((HUGS)))) I will be praying for you and your famliy. I hope all gets better and you take care of yourself too. Don't need anymore MI's especially at such a young age.
Oh, Bortaz - I wish I could!! I feel like a failure because my 16 year old hates me. The last straw was when he said he was going to kill me. The doc gave me some Klonopin, but I just CANT sleep. I was up till about 4am and was up by dawn. Guess I just have a lot on my mind. Thanks for thinking of me!!! Anne:down:
You poor thing it sound's like you've got so much on your plate. Thinking of you and sending lots of good thoughts
Thanks! I just feel like it is hopeless with the boys. At least my dh is a nurse and is sticking by me. I just want to cry and then I just can't stop. Thanks for the good thoughts!!

Awww sweetie, have you considered asking your doctor to put you on some ativan every 8 hours until you can get your stress under control? It's a wonderful stress reliever.
I am so sorry you had this:icon_hug::redbeathe. Just goes to prove stress can kill.
Glad to hear your DH is in your corner. You know you have lots of us in your corner that have been through some of the same things. Stress does cause medical problems, so find a way to decrease it, please. My DH suggests you buy a ticket and get out of Dodge for awhile. Take a trip via the net and look at great pics of your fantasy vacation.
My take on it is that every 16 year old boy is horrid. The good news is most grow out of it. Bad news is, you can't kill them temporarily or even freeze dry them and reconstitute when the growth has happened. Put him in your "God Box" and let go for awhile.Use the Klonopin and let someone else take care of you for awhile.
Lots of hugs, prayers, and great thoughts from the 49th state.
ps. You could send the young man to greet some of our grizzlies. No return guaranteed. Well, on second thought, maybe not.
You just focus on getting better and hug your DH and your puppies.:redpinkhe
[Thank you for that!!I nee
