On Thurs., Sydney decided he wanted a third opinion, maybe 4th? but he kept having reoccurring chest discomfort.
By Friday he had lost his spot on the surgery schedule and was scheduled for Aug. 18th. He continued to have intermittent chest pains,or pressure, or funny stuff. At one point I think he was about to cry. I tried to talk him into going to the hospital by ambulance, but he was embarrassed...Wouldn't let me drive him there either, but agreed that if he felt bad in the morning he would go. Then he got up and shaved and brushed his teeth, just in case.
The next morning he felt better....thought he might go over to the ER after he got his taxes done. By now I am thinking I'll just kill him. It will be a lot cheaper.
So Kathy I went to church and he was at her house watching TV. When we got back he said, "I think I should go to the hospital, but I need to go home and take a shower first." Sure you do, I thought. He had taken two nitro glycerin with no relief. So we put him in Kathy's car and went straight to the ER.
This morning,Sunday, he has had his third opinion and a nice breakfast and some education up on the cardiac floor about the surgery that is probably going to be Weds. I'm on my way to see him and I assume they will keep him until Weds.
I'm on my way to Barnes and Noble cause I think I am going to have some time to sit and read.
