BigStewMan Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 finally home from a few hours in the local ER. Not the best place for a germaphobe like me. Heart started tripping out yesterday afternoon...still hasn’t stopped. Went to bed fully accepting that i could die in my sleep; but, no such luck. Instead i got a bout of insomnia so i could stay awake and really feel my heart going nuts. This morning chest was aching and feeling tight, so went to the ER. No heart attack, just the PVCs going overtime. Blood test fine. Chest Xray fine. Cardiologist said to double up on my medicine and she wants to do another stress test just for peace of mind. ER Doc said PVCs nothing to worry about 99% of time...cardiologist agreed as long as they aren’t caused by heart disease. So far, no evidence of heart disease. Had nuclear stress test in summer of 2015 and everything was normal. We’ll see how it goes this time around. Told doctor that i was going to take an Ativan tonight, and he said that would probably help me. picked a bad day to go to ER...it was like one of those television shows...passageways were all lined up with beds because all the rooms were filled. i could not work at one of those places. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 congrats Dave--glad those days are behind me though...right now i’m getting chewed out via text for not telling the kids that i spent the afternoon in the ER. “We’re glad your ok; but, next time tell us you’re there so we can be praying and be informed." I guess it did suck being there alone. i thought they were going to keep me there and then the doc showed up and said, “I think you need to go home." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im brutally honest because everyone knew why i was getting out, even making the best money of my life. I bailed. Told them come with me, or at least come up and visit and see the Zero stress level(s). none did. they are all dead now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can it really be That bad, Miner?!i Travelled there 2-3 times a year for a few years and yeah wouldn't care to live there but your stories are very dark. Or is it just particular areas of SoCal that have this effect, like any other big city? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try and keep it easy to grasp. 60s/70s pretty livable, good times, hitchhike everywhere 80s the fast lane moved in, and density quadrupled, anything goes, trust no one, and gets worse by the year. Would YOU hitchhike anywhere these days? Done chatting about this BS. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rxonmymind Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 My latest acquisition. Been needing a good stereo cabinet as I was using an end table. Perusing the local CL add I came across one that fit the bill. The lady selling it said it belonged to her grandmother and was in excellent shape. Indeed it was! $35? Sold! I particularly like this one as it compliments the Klipsch Belle's being period correct and all. Also being tiered gives it a bit more dimension. It's big enough to fit all three of my receivers the Marantz, Sony and the current one Realistic. The bottom where you see the straw basket weave design incredibly hasn't got one rip after all these decades. There one can store a ton of records and whatnot. There is however a slight nick on the side towards the bottom that I'll get to with some stain otherwise a beaut. It's as if the Klipsch & it go together. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptorman Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Steve, I hope you get some relief, any visit to an er isn't good. What do you do next? Is it a waiting game, or do you have more doctor visits coming? Good luck and keep your positive attitude 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Hey Steve....feel better soon! Lets vote on where Steve should move. Low stress....I'm thinking Samoa. RX.....nice set up and good score on the CL find. LF has been a little under the weather but hopefully is on the mend. This just after she told me she had never been sick The Jakester started his cold laser therapy yesterday. He was a real good patient but was not thrilled with the sunglasses we all had to wear. Took about 20 minutes to do four areas. I had to lift his 124 pound butt in and out of the Volvo wagon At least he was down from 125 That's about it for now.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
