Just working the way I always do but was brought up short with a blocked artery to my heart.
It was about 85 degrees on the 24th of June. I stepped into the house all sweaty and tired. Suddenly began to feel severe pain in my chest. At 1:30 PM I called 911, as there wasn't any doubt what it was. EMT and rescue was there within 15 and I was on my way to emergency before 2 PM. God bless those boys. I had taken an aspirin, but they gave me 4 more and a couple of nitroglycerin tabs on the way to the ER.
I want to compliment the nurses and staff of Sherman Hospital in Elgin. I can't imagine there being a better group of professionals. I was in the critical care unit while I was there. They were attentive and doing everything they could to ease your pain and make you comfortable. God bless them all,
from the EMTs and rescue squad to the doctors and nurses.
I was fortunate to have had my brother and his wife here visiting for a my granddaughters wedding. They were able to help me out for a few days as well as my kids who bent over backwards to be sure dad would be all right. Didn't make the wedding but you can see my boutonniere on my classy flannel shirt. Ü
We were able to have part of the little party I had been preparing for anyway and I feel I am much on the mend and ready to start rehab and meet the next 20 or 30 years with Gusto.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. “The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.”’
On the Mend
