Henney....stress can really cause the problems that you are having. With all that you have to deal with your mom the stess level has to be huge. It was with me...I've been through the heart cath, stess test, etc. and they all come back negative. I've had to accept that I let myself get too worked up over stuff.

I've finally got control of the stress for the most part. I still get stressed out over work, etc. but I don't freak now when I start hurting in the heart area. Just tell myself nothing happened the last time....this time will be the same.

I'll keep you in my prayers cause it's not a joy ride going through it.

Six months later I had a massive heart attack, at the age of 50. Fortunately I had a different heart doc on duty when they wheeled me into the the ER.

Yeah I told Mike to just bury me in the yard behind the house by the chicken pen...No one out here knows anything....It's coming...just a question of when....

find yourself another doctor if you don't think the current doctor is sufficiently concerned. The problem may not be your heart, but if you aren't feeling well and don't have a diagnosis, that is the pits. It took my mother more than 20 years to be diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis, a muscle disease that is difficult to diagnose and wasn't widely recognized 35 years ago. Now, at age 83, she is in better health than she was when I was growing up - because her condition is being treated and she knows that she has to rest before she gets too tired to recuperate overnight.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!!!!

Go to Lawton to see Dr. Saliba for your stress test. He's great. Really knows what he is doing. I saw him once rip the clipboard out of an attending physician's hands and school him on what was really going on with me. Poor guy looked like he had no idea what Saliba was talking about.

Henny....I miss my mom something terrible.....but I will say that the stress has been lifted greatly. I worried myself sick over her....doctors couldn't find out what was wrong with her and the stress was overwhelming at times. When we leave to go out of town....even for a short time...I still think I need to call home and check on her...but it is a realief to know she's OK....I don't have to worry about her being lonely, sick, in pain....God's already taken care of that.

We just got back from Branson and that's when I realize what a relief it is....I don't have to carry my cell phone on me every minute of the day. Just keep prayed up.

I'm not PnB, but I got this from an email list she referred me to...

"They are between Tahlequah and Peggs. Raymond Jones, the DARP Foundation, 918-207-7181"

Ronnie, they are on out the road that goes SW between you and us.....LOL
It's in that big green steel building on out past Bill Laymon's place.....
You could probably throw a rock and hit their building....LOL Bill has been
through their processing facility and visited with the USDA guy that oversees
it. They're processing about 3,000 birds a week now. His DARP women's
facility is the old store building just on over the hill from our house.

Have a good one !

you are very fortunate to have ignored the doctor's laughter and insisted that something was wrong. Glad you went to the ER.

Well, I didn't have a whole of choice about going to the ER. I was unconscious and clinically dead when the ambulance arrived. The only reason I survived was because my wife and an off-duty firefighter were working on me while they waited for the ambulance attendees to arrive and jumpstart me.

My problem was that I did listen to the first cardiologist's laughter and didn't get a second opinion, which led to my subsequent heart attack.

Which is the whole point of my story.

I know...I'm trying...it just seems to me that she isn't!! She was just in the hospital with pneumonia... and now she is outside in 40 degree weather smoking like a furnace....She only gets 50.00 a month from DHS... and her cigs cost me 68.00...

So I feel like I'm paying to kill her off....I feel like I need air...Like I'm being choked to death....Mike says I have been worse since she was in the hospital...DUH!!! She expects me to be able to fix everything....I can't fix anything....
