Longest night of my life

[Echo814]

I'm so sorry this happened Kim. Glad to hear he pulled through and is at home. Sending prayers your husbands way for a quick recovery.

He came home on Wed and he's doing as well as to be expected. He's not able to sleep in the bed because he can't sleep on his back. He said the mattress is too firm and he's having trouble breathing. He sleeps in the recliner and it's not as comfortable that's for sure.

He's having some other issues as well and it'll get better in time, but he's very uncomfortable and frustrated.

The biggest problem were dealing with now is the constant company visits. I politely asked everyone to hold off for a few days because my husband wanted to be alone. He hasn't had any alone time to process anything and he's so uncomfortable he doesn't want to see anyone at this time.

I know they mean well but they're not listening/respecting our wishes and it's starting to piss me off.
We're both very tired LOL...

That's crazy. Nothing worse then tons of people when someone needs the space to recover. Hope people get the hint and that you both get some rest and start on that recover road soon.

Kimm4, just read this thread. Was in Greece for the past few weeks, and Sunday I was at the Acropolis museum, where you could toss a coin in the well in the underground city and make a wish. I threw in two euros and wished for a TBD. I just used it up for your husband's speedy recovery.

You've already seen on this thread some of the worst in people on the internet, but you do reflect the best of people on the internet

When this blows over and you joke and laugh about it, I think many members of the studio audience here would like (and benefit by) hearing about the things leading up to this event. What changed, if anything. Just an ask, do not feel compelled to respond ... like you could be :::: koff koff ::::: compelled to do anything. Just interested as we are all getting older and pushing hard to be our best.

Best wishes to you and yours

So happy that he's home with you, I stopped reading this section and thank God skipping to the last page had a relatively happy ending, hopefully he has a rapid improvement and can get back to life as soon as possible. This had to be absolutely brutal on you all, hang in there

Tony had his follow up visit today with his primary doc. They said he looks absolutely amazing for what he's been through. His blood pressure is perfect and everything looks great. He just started driving this week and that really made him feel good. He managed to sleep upstairs last night for the first time and it went well. His chest is still real sore but it gets a little better everyday. With that being said, even though he's feeling great we continue to be cautious so he's not doing too much too soon. I completely fine tuned his diet so he constantly complains he's hungry (which is completely normal when you're eating healthy as fuk...)

Thank you all for the kind messages and constant support!

[Bassackwards]

Great to hear, kimmie. He is lucky to have you.

[sy2502]

Yeah! Good news! I love good news!

[Clinos]

Excellent news!

glad he's getting better. any idea what was the cause of the heart attack?

The cause of his heart attacked was a blocked valve. Heart attacks, high blood pressure and diabetes run in his family. His younger brother had a heart attack at 45 and his dad has had 4 (first one in his early 50's.)

Tony had a stress test a couple years ago because it runs in his family and he wanted to get checked out. Everything at that time was fine.

He meets with his cardiologist on Aug 1st. His 3 questions are: when can he back to work, when can he go back to the gym and when can he have sex with his wife?

I didn't ask him the order of questions lol...

Happy weekend!

Thanks for the update. I have to admit, my heart sank a little bit when I saw you posted to this thread again, but it turned out okay.

[startingat56]

as much as I like to crack wise, I'll save this one .... but it was funny

nice to hear things are getting back to normal

Ha....being a male....the 'order' of questions requires little guess work.

Excellent update....glad to hear it.

Back to it.....

Oh no Kimm, that's crazy, I'm so sorry to hear that. Thoughts and prayers sent your way, hope he will be alright, you'll always have my support and everyone else's here I'm sure.

[StressMonkey]

OMG Kimm. I'm so glad he's back home with you. I can't imagine how trying this has been for all of you.

My first couple of weeks at home were murder and I was largely alone most of the day. I slept between the recliner, couch and floor. Try that with a 6-month feral kitten running around. I drove before I was cleared to. Had a stress test done 7 weeks after surgery and went the distance. I was back in the gym after 8 weeks. I still have incision pain, but I don't sit around and sometimes I pay for it.
