APRIL 22 was a Life changing day….  I've been experiencing some heart problem….  WELL over a year…. had EKG and nothing showing…  and It only happen a Few times… not very often…. BUT When we went to visit Jen in April over Conference on the drive down from Butte to Dillon I had 3 attacks..   I get dizzy, Hot flash and heart beats Really FAST…. Ron's sleeping so I just Take Deep breaths and kept going… GLAD no traffic… Once at Dillon We have lunch at Subway and Ron wants to know IF I want to keep driving….. I said  " NO  Not having a Good day! "…While at Jen's  Nothing…. on the drive home… Nothing… BUT I'm thinking I better have it check at my next physical…
April 14, 2014 we went with Jared and Amy to Spokane, ate at The Onion in North Town… on the drive over I had another attack…. Coming from North Town to a Gas station by Long Horn BBQ I had 3 attacks… I finally asked Ron to check my heart beat… Told him I wasn't feeling very well….. I blamed it on Amy's driving…..
Come Monday Ron Made me call for appointment.  DR. Mclandress was booked way out… so I took who ever…
She ordered an EKG… showed nothing… Ordered x ray , Nothing., Blood work, All is good….. I'm just seeing dollar signs…
Then she ordered a Monitor that I'll wear for 24 hours… I did everything I could think of to cause me to have another attack…. Nothing… Wanted to have Amy drive me to the Casino but Ron said NO…. I knew That would work….
Dr called and said they did see some  arrhythmia heart beats…. so she wanted me to see a Heart Doctor….
April 22nd  8 :15 they were going to do a Echo of my heart…. Then shoot Radioactive  dye into my blood take more pictures then put me on a trend mill  for a stress test..OH  JOY…
Asked if I would have Special powers?  or Gloss in the Dark?  NO But If I cross the border I most likely wouldn't get back in the USA.,  or I couldn't be able to get on a Plane… or get in a Court house.. NO I wasn't going to test  it…..
Had the dye, more pictures then time for Stress test.  I'm hooked up to the EKG…. I need to go until my heart rate in 141…. start off slowly and then it will speed UP… I ASKED Has anyone Ever had a Problem doing this?   OH NO  You'll be fine…
SO lets get started…… OK  This isn't bad… I'm afraid my knees will give out before I'm done…. OK Shoot the dye… and He tells me I need to go for ONE Minute… Easier Said then done…. 30 sec to go… My Knee start to weaken…. and the next thing I hear…. Grab her legs…. I'm taken off the machine laying on the cot.. Next a doctor is there asking how I'm doing.,  some nurses are asking questions… I can't breath… or can't get enough air… not sure which…. finally they are taking off this belt and that's helping… I'm asking them to PLEASE go and tell Ron what's happening…. WE Will but first we need to get you calmed down….
SO 15 or 20 mins they want to know IF I can continue with more heart pictures… it will be 20 mins., then they will decided WHAT to do with me.  Most likely I won't be going HOME…
Pictures are DONE they send me out to the Waiting Room with NO Help.  Thought that was interesting…. see Ron and Start to Cry for NO Reason…… He's a Basket case….  He relay's how he in the hall talking to Scott Noble when doctor and nurses come running down the hall into the room I'm at…. and he just knows it me..
We wait for 20 mins.. Nothing… I finally go up to the desk to ask how much longer… so go's and find a nurse to ask…. Finally she comes out and in forms me I'll be going right over to the Hospital for More Test….. Get to ride in the wheel chair… thru a tunnel to the hospital… I felt like Marilyn Monroe.  Hard to focus on What is happening….I Feel FINE… so Why em I Here??
SO they are going to do a Heart catheter, Work me in… so around 4 or 5….YA  No Food or drink….. I'm starving by now cause I couldn't have anything since last night…Ron called Jared and he came down to help give me a blessing… Let's cover all the bases.
around 3 they are taking me down to the room and preparing me for the test… I'm TOLD they will go thru a vein in the leg… SO Why are we shaving me there???  It's the groining area… IT's NOT what the doctor said!…. GREAT… and using a Lint brush to get the loose hair.. WHICH isn't ALL Loose…I Just kept Thanking RON for ALL THIS…
When its over with I have to lay completing still for 2 hours….
Back in my Room…. YES  FOOD…  Pepsi….. Hot turkey dinner…. delish….
While I'm eating I have one of my spells…. Finally they have a recording of it… 2 nurses show up at my bed to see IF I'm ok…. SEE That's what it does….
SO I do have a heart problem..Lower part is pumping 30 per cent… which should be 50…  It's been weaken by a virus of some kind… SO they want to put in a Defibrillator and so NO Food…. I'll be staying in the hospital for awhile… they will do it Wednesday..Work me in … around 1… Course the Doctor is Saying You need to have this Defibrillator or You will DIE!… Your heart will Just STOP and You will DIE… SO Glad he sugar coated it….
SO I need an New IV put in… a better vein for the surgery… Nurse TRIES to put it in and she blows the vein… WHCIH was very painful cause she kept moving the needle to get the vein… so she calls for a Nurse Who Does IV's… GOOD… she comes with an machine that will find the perfect vein… RIGHT…. 6 try's 1 hour 10 mins LATER its IN…TALK about painful…. Course Andy Jeske is there visiting… and Paula Lee..Telling me to BREATH   BREATH… YA  I'm Breathing….. just take me out and shoot me at this point!…I Need a BREAK…. I tell her.. OH NO  I'll get it…..  Needless to say glad when that it over with… I felt like a Pin cushion…
11 o'clock they are wheeling down the hall… they put COLD pack on my Back and chest.  VERY Cold packs… they rub my skin raw getting the glue off from the EKG patches…. They TRIED to use the IV they put in… and its NOT Working.. WHAT!!!  After LOTS of TAPE on it to hold the line open its Working….
Next thing I know I'm awake in the recovery room… Everything went find… One hour and they will take me Back to my Room… and I can have FOOD  YES… FOOD.. and a PEPSI!…
I had to stay another night…. Come Thursday… DR.  RIPES OFF the Bandage.. and I Mean just RIPES it off… everything look Great… NO Drive.. no Raising my Left arm or using it…. for 4 weeks… Can I still go to Disneyland???
