So..some of you have a clue as to what this post will be about, but for the rest of you here is the last 24 hours or so....
Last night we all sat down to dinner and were eating (normal day) when Josh grabs at his chest and starts breathing loudly...I kind of didnt say anything and just watched him, but this kept going for about 10 minutes ...
he got really pale and had shortness of breath and told me he didnt feel good and was going to lie down.
oooookkkkkaaaaayyyyy......
after a few more minutes of letting him rest on the couch I went in to check on him....me:"how are you doing? whats wrong?" Josh: my arm is numb, and it feels like someone is sitting on my chest, and its hard to breathe. me:"ummm...do you know what you are describing to me?" Josh "yeah, but Im fine dont worry....
<yeah right, a wife not worry when her hubby is maybe having a heart attack....>
anyway, the chest pain went away after a bit, and he was able to breathe better, so he laid low last night and just didnt feel good.....this morning he woke up still feeling "off" and his arm was still a little numb, but he went to work with the promise that he would call his dr if he felt funny again.
11am
I get a call from Josh. He had another episode and called his dr (totally shocked that he called!)
who told him to get a ride from someone and go to the ER.
soooo....the kiddos got to go to my moms, and I got to take Josh to the ER....
we got there and the dr was incredibly rude and walked in the room and said...and I quote..."You are a healthy looking 27 year old...why are you really here you aren't having a heart attack"
---not the best first impression, and Josh isnt 27, he is 32......-------
they did a cardiogram,a bunch of labs, a few other tests, all to have the super impressive (j/k) dr come in and say, and again, I quote " well, you are a healthy guy, you didnt have a heart attack, you dont have a blood clot, you are fine, so since we dont know whats wrong, we are gonna send you home"
.......not that we wanted anything "bad" to be wrong with Josh, but we did kind of want some kind of answer...Josh asked the dr why he was still having numbness, and dizziness, and chest tightness, and the dr said "I don't know" Josh has no restrictions, and they suggested he see his pcp next week....
overall not the afternoon I was planning, I am thankful that Josh is ok, but frustrated with the lack of concern and respect that we received today at the ER...
so now that the "excitement" is over I am going to make something for dinner!
