OMG - the week I've had ??  Tues p.m. hubby had chest pains on "right" side? After a while it was just "let's go to ER".  At 60 and diabetic - you just don't mess with chest pains.  After that and angiogram, etc. by Thursday, they placed two stents in the arteries on his heart - one was 90% blocked and it's the one they call the "Widow Maker" !!  So... if we had NOT gone, it could have gotten worse, very quickly, and I would have lost my best friend forever!  I think it was a huge wake up call for him also.  Mortality and all. 

So better eating, a little more exercise, less fast food for sure, and taking more meds.  sigh

He broke his leg in Oct. this year and it's not healing.  He's using a "bone growth stimulator" to get the bone to knit.  The plates and pins are all that's keeping him on his feet.  He's walking fine, but it hurts him and swells after a while.

Now the docs say NO surgery on the leg/ankle for at least a year.  He was going to have it done within the next few months! 

If it ain't one thing... it's another.
