Title: Trouble in Atlanta
Post by: Green99 on October 10, 2019, 06:38:04 pm
I believe when it rains it pours.  We arrived Monday was a week ago in Meniola Tx. For GV
That night my wife had a massive heart attack.  Got her to hospital in Tyler (rated #1 heart hospital in Texas) where they put in stint.  She is doing good do Monday we were leaving for South Central rally in Savannah.  Trying to get on 285 off I 20 were rearended by 18 wheeler.  Totaled our toad.  But we are ok and coach is repairable.

Glad to hear your wife is doing well.  Too many women are misdiagnosed, yours wasn't.

You're gonna need a new ladder.

Ain't many things scarier than to find out how close your life partner came to dying.
Just went thru same thing with my DW--three stents in two days but they did correct her condition before she would have had a massive heart attack.

Glad you wife is ok. All the rest can be fixed, but it sure does look bad.

We are blessed.  She is ok, and the rest is replaceable.  I have to say it is scary having this happen away from home, and not being familiar with the hospital.
I told Nanci I think alot of people meet their cardiologist in the ER.

And when you look at the caregivers, nurses and doctors, sometimes it seems like one can see their halos hovering above them. Angels in disguise, and if you think about them it will bring tears to your eyes because of the loving care your spouse received.

Wonderful to hear that your DW is doing well.  Went through that with mine in '17 with open heart.  Wishing you both the best and glad all turn out that you both are safe!

Glad you are both ok- stuff is just stuff and can be replaced/repaired.

It is getting scary out there on the road with all the traffic and crazy drivers out there.  Big cities and Interstates seem to be the worst- everyone is in a hurry to get somewhere while playing with their phone, eating, putting on make up, etc.  Defensive driving is a must but no guarantee.    Be safe out there everyone.              ^.^d
