I'm OK

I have received a few calls and a few emails from a few of you wandering how I’m doing so I though I would post out here that’ I’m fine and alive.    Some of you knew that on Nov 28^th I was having a hysterectomy.    Well I did, but about two hours after the surgery I had a heart attack and needed two pints of blood.  I was severely dehydrated.  No one know why this all happened either, or they just haven’t told me yet but I have so many doctor appointments now I’m sure I’ll find out something.  I was released from the hospital on Sunday.  I’m starting to feel a lot better.  My blood count was 6.5 and 7.0 but after two pints of blood its up to 12.2; still not where they want to see it but it’s getting there.  I now have to starting seeing a cardiologist next week to see what happened and why.  They do know it’s wasn’t serious and it don’t look like there is any damage to the heart but they can tell by blood work that there is protein in or around my heart.  I don’t understand why this happened now, you would think losing 120lbs and in much better health and a lot more active then I ever have been but I guess this was my wake up call.  I’m 37 and WAS a smoker, but as of Nov 28 I’m a NON smoker. 

I hope they get to the root of your issues and that you can enjoy life!!!  Glad you are ok!  Take care and keep us updated!!!

So sorry to hear about all the trouble you have been having!  Glad to hear that you are alright.  Congrats on quiting smoking!  I'll be praying for a quick and speedy recovery from it all! Jeanne

Holy cats girl...thats scary! Im so happy your ok and hope they get to the bottom of it. I was thinking about you and how you did after that horible dump...has it detoured you from sugar again???????? Take care

OMG, you poor lady.  On the bright side, having lost 120 lbs may  have saved you.  I''m so glad you are still around to enjoy life with us!   Take care of yourself and keep us posted on how you are doing.  Maybe we will see you at coffee soon??

Wow, what a scary thing to happen!  And you're so  young!  Sometimes it takes an experience like this to set a person on a different track. I hope the docs are able to figure what caused this.  Sounds like you've got the whole medical team on your side! God bless, and take care!  Sounds like you'll be drinking lots to rehydrate--or did they pump you full via  IV lines? BIG ((HUG)) **SUE**  

I had 5-8 IV bags per day, I'm still peeing.  LOL  

Sorry to hear your news. Glad you are doing better and that you have no serious damage.  I hope that things continue to improve. Take care and best wishes.

Oh my...I am so glad you are okay now. WOW what a scare that would have been...still is I am sure! I will be anxious to know what they decide was the cause of the heart attack.  I will keep you in my prayers.....I wish you the best. Hugs   connie d
