As janetc just slipped this in her Toronto driving to Niagara Falls post I thought it deserved a thread of its own as it might get missed. I just copied her notes out of that thread. Hope she doesn't mind. She can probably use all the virtual hugs she can get.
this trip, as this has been a week from hell. Dh landed in intensive care with a heart attack....he was returned today to our hospital after getting an angigram done, he had a another artery that was blocked 99% so they have inserted a stint......the first time he took ill with his heart, was about 6 to 7 years ago, cant really remember as i had put those horrid memories behind us. We are hoping to have him home to recover by the end of the weekend. The bugger hadnt been feeling well but wasnt telling me. I have never been so scared im still shocked, exhausted and scared.....it goes to show you how your life can change so quickly. i hope you are all having a good summer
janet
thank you so much for your thoughts....it seem like i just got past the fear of when he got sick the first time, and you start to live your life like normal and then suddenly this happened. I could finally drive past the hospital without feeling ill, and in one week he has travelled to three hospitals, but he has had fantastic care in each and everyone of them. The first night at the hospital, they had just taken him as they always go by priority, myself and yougest dd were sitting in the waiting room and the woman beside my dd said, what is wrong with him, a big sliver....i understand her frustration, they had been waiting likely for sometime and her dh had a pain in his belly....i was shocked!!! so shocked i didnt know whether i wanted to smack her on the head with my cane or cry.....her comment still sticks in my mind and dd just looked at me with such a face i cant forget. Oh well, hopefully tomorrow he will be back home with us.....i cant bare going to bed at night, so youngest dd sleeps with me and we watch tv until we fall asleep.....sorry for my rambling....my brain just hasnt shut off yet and at some moments i feel as though its not even real.
thanks for lisitening to my rambling

oh my gosh, i cant belive this thread, well than again, yes i can because i have always known that you are all a great bunch to hang out with. I decided to come and check on House and Home, withdrawals were setting in and to find such a thread......im so touched at ALL of your kind words and support that you offered and the stories shared. The thoughtfullness is beyond words. We may not know one another on a personal level but we sure have shared many fantastic ideas, laughs and hardships because everyone here realizes that we are real people behind these screens.
I have FANTASTIC news, Dh is now home and feeling pretty good.....now we just need to start rebuilding once again, we did before and we will this time...The girls and I are thrilled to have him back with us. :bliss:

Janet ;I am so sorry to hear about your DH 's heart problem.....Thank God you got him to the hospital for mending.....Your family will be in my prayers.....I understand your concern because my DH also has a heart problem & we do worry .Your DH is a lucky guy to have such a loving supportive family.....please keep us informed & be sure to take care of yourself.... sending a big hug for all of you.
Hope things are going well at your end Janet, keeps us posted. I wish we could do more for you.
Janet... what can I say that hasn't already been said!
I'm so sorry to hear about your DH's health problems... but what a lucky man to have you and his/your DDs to help him get well!!
Keep us posted on things.
Postive thoughts are being sent your way.
Janet, I am so sorry to hear your news. I have come to think of you as a friend, and I feel terrible that you are going through such a frightening time. Know that you are in everyones thoughts and prayers. Please send best wishes to Mr. C, for a speedy recovery!!!
thankfully Mr. C has such a great family who supports and loves him.....he probably is scared too...but doesn't want to worry you....I bet he can't wait to be home too......take it easy on him for awhile.....and remember..life is short...enjoy each moment........ :D
Janet so sorry to hear about DH I hope all is going well.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Janet.. I went through the same thing with DH a few years ago. His arm kept on bothering him and my reply was "what did the doctor say". He ended up with two stints.
Gerri :)
Wow Janet, so shocked to hear what happened to your DH.......so sorry this has happened but I'm sure Mr. C. will be up and about in no time at all. Your are a loving family and that counts a lot for a speedy recovery....our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Janet, amidst all this craziness, don't forget to look after yourself. Take care and wish you the best. Hugs for all of you.
WOW, Life can throw a curve ball at anytime!
Janet ,MrC and C family, wishing you all the best during this difficult time and hoping for a speedy recovery. Thinking of you. :)
Wow that is a smack of reality for sure. I'm glad you got to the hospital and it seems to be going well. Once you get him comfy on the sofa you can give him the 'don't scare us like that again look' and get some rest.
Tell Mr. C that we'll let him off the hook for any more projects for the next while but it's certainly not worth going to these lengths to get out of more painting.
Anyway, I hope everyone takes care and things get back to normal for you all much sooner than you expect. Keep us posted...
