It has been along time since I posted anything.....so I thought I might as well post what's been going on in my life lately.

I wish I could say all was well.....but I can't!! :-(

Well I am alive so that is good!! :-)

On March 12.....while I was grouting tile at one of my houses. I started getting really bad chest pains....in fact I was getting them all that week. But they were not that bad. I thought it was just heartburn or something....so I ignored it!! Well on that day the pain was REALLY bad....it was lasting along time. The other times it happened they went away fast. Not this day....they seemed to last forever. Then finally it would not go away at all.....my left arm started hurting, my jaw and my upper middle back.....oh yeah and my hands felt like they were asleep. So I went to Safeway and took my blood presure....it was 183 over 140 with a purse rate of 42. Well I knew that was not good.....so I went to the ER. They did a EKG and found out I was having a heart attack!! Well do to my family history.....(the fact my sister died at the age of 33 from a massive heart attack, 2 years ago)....they decide to do the ballon thingy....not exactly sure what it is called. They go up through your groin and put a ballon in your heart to open the blockage. Well they did that and added a stent (a little spring like thing that holds the blood vesal open). So I had that done....everything went well....until the next day when they got me out of bed (which was way to soon) the puncture poped open and blood was going everywhere. They had to hold presure on it till it stoped (which hurt like a son of a bitch) After that they put a 15 pound weight on it for 6 hours. Then they moved me to another room....I was in ICU. I was doing good.....went to the bathroom (in this stupid plastic thnig...while in bed) Right after I pissed.....I knew something wasn't right!! It felt like my guts where beeing filled with something....it felt like I was going to explode. So my mom called in the nurse....well I was himridging (sp?...not a clue how to spell that) basically I was bleeding under my skin. So the nurse applied pressure....well I thought it hurt the first time in ICU....boy was I wrong!! It hurt so fucking bad I thought I was going to die from the pain. (the heart attack didn't even hurt that much) Well with the pain sooooo bad!!!....it was making me throw up....which was making everything worse. FINALLY!!!....the drugs kicked in!! Then they had to apply a 30 pound wait on my groin for another 6 hours. I was drugged up so much this time to notice it....thank God!!!

I made it through that!!!......then I found out I ended up getting a blood clog...which meant staying many more days in the hospital. Then to top it off I got a bladder infection from when they put in the cafiter (sp?). So that made my days in the hospital even worse!!

But to make it worse!!!....when I did get out of the hospital.....a week later. I had to go to a urologist and have a VERY PAINFULL procedure done.....they put a microscope thing straight up your dick to look inside your bladder.....VERY PAINFULL!!!....then I had to have it done again six weeks later....which I did and everything looked good!! :-) that part of me was back to normal.

I also went to my Cardiologist a few weeks back to take a stress test....and everything turned out good. I am now slowly getting back to good health....if not better!!

I guess I rambled on long enough!!!....I will let you get back to doing something a little more exciting then reading my post. :-)
