The last couple of weeks have been a little exciting here in Podunk OR
We had a HEAVY wet snow that took out a bunch of power lines due to falling trees. Happens every year it seems like. We were out for a couple of days and I got lots of exercise gassing up my little 1000 watt Honda generator, just to keep the furnace working, we have a fireplace but it is so ineficient the only one warm from it is me, lugging more wood to keep it going!
Fortunately they were able to get it going again Saturday before Laurie's son Glenn was to appear for Christmas so we were able to get everything ready with the decorations done as well as cleanup.
Christmas was very nice and dinner together was as usual great my Honey can COOK!
Now it gets sticky ladies.
Thursday after Christmas, Laurie and Glenn were watching TV and she started feeling funny and uncomfortable with tingling down both arms, Glenn told her it sounded like a heart attack and you guessed it,
the nurse at the DR's office said get to ER asap Glenn drove her the 35 miles there, and they plugged her into an EKG and shipped her to Medford to one of the top ten Cardio hospitals in the country.
I'm sitting at home waiting for word from Glenn when the phone rang, and I hear Hi Honey, I'm fine!
(My prayers were answered!) They had placed a stent and she even got to watch the roto rooter at work.
They kept her until Saturday and she was home in time to fix and serve dinner! I'm not kidding, she's one tough lady. I don't want to follow her example on that one.
She cheated though and stopped at the market and bought a broasted chicken. LOL
For you ladies out there the DR told her women have milder symptoms than men (we're weenies) and as a result may be ignored, which can be fatal, so take it seriously. Womens systems are built more tollerant to pain due to child birthing that is the reason. They told her she had a MAJOR attack and it would have killed her if ignored and she was just uncomfortable untill they got her to the hospital and by then it was getting more intense. DON'T IGNORE THE SYMPTOMS GIRLS!!!
OK just so you know she's back to her ornery self bossing me around and cooking as usual, I'm pushing the vacuum though, I love her cooking too much to let her stress herself too much! LOL
So there you have it! I'm just happy as hell everything turned out as well as it did I wasn't any too sure it would. Thank you LORD!
