BONI - Not everybody would bother to post on a forum from the ICU while recovering form a heart attack! It takes someone special to be that tough and that caring...You ARE awesome!!!
Yes Boni, this certainly got my attention!! Just very sorry it was you that brought this up ;) I've been out of high BP meds for a week. Calling it in in a few. This is just one of the reasons I dread winter here in Oregon. BUT, now that I have a care giver 3 times a week, I am out of excuses of not exercising. I am only 50...I'd like to see my son and good friends again and sit on the beach watching the sunset. Yes, lot's to do.
Thinking of you Boni :) try and keep up posted so us worry warts can have a small break ;)
Boni, this could happen to anybody here. Many of us are in the higher risk group because of our age. You did make me stop to think about what I can do to keep it from happening and what to do if it does happen. I'm thinking of you a lot, grateful that you made it to the hospital quickly.
good luck to you boni, even tho you have a great attitude about caregiving , that doesnt make it any less stressful . i consider the self medicating i did during my moms last months an absolute necessity, to this day . its enough to fn kill ya at times .
Boni~Use this time to take care of you. You have no choice now that you are in hospital, LOL!!! Laughing aside...Godspeed on your recovery. Blessings to you!!
OMG. I used to pray for signs from God. When I got them, I told Him maybe a 2x4 wasn't necessary. Looks like you got the 2x4 message, too. Take it easy. Hugs.
Boni.... I am so sorry to hear this... Book and Ismiami notified me.....thanks ladies.... as others have said, do not worry about mom..... she is being very well taken care of.... you have to focus on you now...... you have tons of love and prayers coming your way from all of us.....you are not doing mom a bit of good by not taking care of yourself right now..... please rest and do as you are told..... love you and lots of hugs, but no chocolate this time......someone will keep me updated if you cant... will come back to check on you.... thanks again Book and Ismiami.......
Prayers for you both - they don't keep you in the hospital very long so be careful when you get home not to just jump in "business as usual". Give yourself permission to recoup. Hang in there.
Boni, your mom is going to be okay. You have 2 siblings doing their best to take care of her. Please just concentrate on YOU at this time. It's very important to reach deep inside and know that you can handle this new. I've had surgery twice and both times, I knew that my family will step in to help mom. (I was so relieved that after coming back home after 3 months away, she had no bedsore.) So it's very important to go through this with your mind at ease about mom and that we will all pray for you both.
I will post a message to Ladee both here and by email. Please take care, Boni, because I really, really, really like you! {{{{HUGS}}}}
Mom had a stent put in (and a pacemaker) probably ten years or more ago, Recovered just fine. She was 77 at the time. You will, too. She fell in love with her cardiologist, so you might want to be careful. ;) ;)
