35 yrs. & heart attack...update p.14

[B. Saffles Farms]

How long has it been since you had your heart attack?

 

[dacjohns]

Here you go, bumble bees and spandex.

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin' the puddles gather rain

And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
And even speak my point of view
But it's not sane, it's not sane

I just want someone to say to me oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll always be there when you wake yea, yea
Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today, hey
So stay with me and I'll have it made

And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there's no rain

And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape
Escape......escape......escape......

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
You don't like my point of view
Then I'm insane
Its not sane... Its not sane

I just want someone to say to me oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll always be there when you wake yea, yea
Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today, hey
So stay with me and I'll have it made

ill have it made(you know im gonna)
ill have it made(you know im gonna)
ill have it made(you know im gonna)

(I'll have it made
I'll have it made
You know we're really gonna, really gonna have it made
Gonna have it made
ahhh,ahhh, ahhh, ahhh)

just pm'd this to a friend, and instead of rewriting it all, I copy and pasted:


well...I just had my 1st heart dr. apt. since i got discharged from the hospital. I'm trying to process it all...so my blood pressure dropped when i did my cardiac rehab and that is not good...he wants it to be higher so he can give me more of the heart med to make my heart stronger. If I start feeling woozy or dizzy or have pain...i'm to come in immediately. My coumadin (blood thinner) results were a 1.1 and he wants them to be between a 2 & a 3 so he upped that to 2 pills on tues, thurs, sat, sun and I get retested next fri. and he may drop the dosage at that time...but we have to see. He said when they let me out of the hospital my heart was functioning at 50% (no wonder I'm so tired) and he hopes in 2 months that I will gain more strength...so we will do another echo cardio gram in 2 months.

My mom wanted to know when she could go back home and sleep in her bed but now with this news... I think she may stay with me a bit longer.

and he said he wants me to work out...walk, ride bike...on the days i don't have cariac rehab. so that's the news. I'd like to think this was all a horrible dream... And mostly I'm thinking...ok, God, what are you telling me? I think... I am to not take things for granted--like my children, my family, my church family, my mom group and friends and all my blessings and no matter what happens, I'll be ok as long as I trust in Him. That's what I got for now... maybe I'll have more later? I don't know.

[I have WHAT in my yard?]

Thank you for posting about your travails Gretchen I really appreciate it.

My parents found a bond in one another in that both had lost their fathers at a very early age to sudden massive cardiac arrest. In those days it never occurred to them that perhaps they should not breed!!

So here I am today at 45 and I am certain that I have a cardiac arrythmia that is beyond the normal occasional skipped beat. But, my doc poo poos at my telling him about the pain. I think I need to get a backbone and stop falling for the you're a hypochondriac, you're too young and too thin to have heart problems.

I suspect doctors still don't recognize heart issues in women because the pain is not always like it is in men.....

I have kids. I need to stand up for them.

Both grandfathers were dead by 47......

 

[okiemommy]

Get a second opinion "I have what in my Yard"!!!!



My motto is it's better to be safe than sorry!!! Even if people might think I'm being silly, I tell them up front, this is the problem I am concerned about, and if it's nothing, no big deal. If it's something, I'm glad I didn't ignore it.


Oh Gretch!! I'm sorry that your news went this way. But keep on taking baby steps towards health, and your heart will begin to strengthen.

Love you girl!

Not to poo poo you too, I have What, but another thing you might want to consider having checked is your hormone levels to see if you're near menopause...

Heart menopause: Heart symptoms associated with menopause. One of the most prevalent premenopausal symptoms is heart palpitations. Menopause relief, for perimenopause symptoms like heart palpitations, is difficult to find. Although actual relief is hard to come by, there are many natural and medical medicines that can be tried.

Heart palpitations are not usually a sign of pain, but they are a sign of a hot flash, which is one of the early menopausal symptoms. Heart palpitations are an irregular heartbeat that can occur anytime but often occur in women going through menopause or about to go through menopause. They are not painful but can be felt.

Sometimes heart palpitations are also felt as the sensation that the heart is skipping a beat or it is beating too many times. They may increase the heart rate up to 200 beats per minute when accompanying a hot flash.

The causes of heart palpitations during menopause are the fluctuation hormones in the woman's body. These constantly changing levels of estrogen and other hormones can cause the heart to try to adjust and are also associated with the cause of hot flashes.

[maplesky7]

what did you do debi?

You are very sweet for thinking of me. Right now there are 6 peeps in the bator and a few other pips...I hope everyone is ok. My girls are very excited...today my friend who brought us dinner also brought her 2 little girls so they could see inside the bator. Then they went outside and yelled and screamed and ran away from chickens that got loose who must have thought they had treats.

And the oldest one says, "I don't do chickens." ...and then my girls chased their friends down with a chicken in their arms--one polish roo and one br hen. ha ha ha. It was funny.

I got this song stuck in my head right now....


It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day in the neighborhood, oh could you be mine, oh would you be mine, oh won't you be....my neighbor.

I'd love to be your neighbor debi.

me,

Good morning g. Would you be my neighbor?




It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?

It's a neighborly day in this beautywood,
A neighborly day for a beauty,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?

I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you,
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

So let's make the most of this beautiful day,
Since we're together, we might as well say,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?

Won't you please,
Won't you please,
Please won't you be my neighbor?
