Heart Attacks and LoveHubbie

Sorry I've been out-of-pocket lately; LoveHubbie had his one year anniversary of his first heart attack last week and many things have been going on. Unfortunately, LoveHubbie may have had his second heart attack today...we're not sure yet. So tomorrow he goes to the doctor to find out. If I had known about it he would have been in the ER and we would already know and he would have had treatment. But alas, I found out many hours later...LoveHubbie trying to protect me, he says...

Anger, sadness, grief, frustration...

Meanwhile, here is one of his beautiful photos:



UPDATE: LoveHubbie apparently didn't have a heart attack, just a "vasovagal incident":

(vasovagal - a transient vascular and neurogenic reaction marked by pallor, nausea, sweating, bradycardia and rapid fall in arterial blood pressure which can result in loss of consciousness)

So we're very glad, but he's going to be having more tests over the next several days to see just what shape is heart is actually in.


Thank you to tinker and hanna for your comments and caring :)

UPDATE #2: We made it through another day, and LoveHubbie goes to the doctor tomorrow afternoon.

Thank you to Scott, Leah, and Kelly for your caring posts!

UPDATE #3: LoveHubbie had his tests today and his heart is fine! The good news is that he was taking two different blood pressure pills prescribed for his heart attack last year. He has been vigilant in taking them, but in the interim, he has gotten better, so that they have been lowering his blood pressure dramatically, and putting him at risk for problems from the medications! He no longer needs to be on ANY blood pressure medications! We went out to dinner tonight to celebrate.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers, so much.
