According to the Doctor, my heart suffered NO damage. They were able to remove all blockage and place stints in the 2 that were partially clogged. I am to change a few things about the way I eat, exercise more and give up my beloved pipe. Nothing drastic.
Last Saturday I had been working in the shed, getting ready for winter and my chest began to feel funny. It felt as if I had been hit full blast be a volley ball and breathing deep would not make it let up. Sharon did all of the right things and the fire department and the EMTs did all of the right things and the Drs and RNs did all the right things and God and his Angels were all around me. Once they got me to the St. Francis Heart Center and a little RN named Kim took over (I don't know her last name, isn't that awful) both Sharon and myself felt at ease. Corlis, our minister, was at the hospital within minutes and the Church Prayer Chain was notified.
Corlis anointed me and prayed that God would guide the Drs and see that I was made whole again. I felt a rush of relief all over my body and the heat where he was touching me go through my body. I was then able to relax because I knew everything was going to be all right. That I was in the hands of the almighty and He had plans for me that were not completed.
Thanks to all of you for your prayers and concerns. Both Sharon and I appreciate each and every one of you. See you soon.
