Tuesday Afternoon my husband collapsed at our home. I nearly lost him twice that day. He is still in hospital wont be getting out for awhile. When he was in the ER they said he was having heart attack but also was seizing and possible stroke. Then through the test they did in ER they said no its his heart. Yesterday we saw the specialist. I was prepared to listen about his information on his heart. Damage and so on and what we needed to do to get him well. I mentally said to myself if he survived Tuesdays attack he is strong enough to survive anything that they will have to do. The Cardiologist came in went through some test results I listened and he explained everything to us. 3 of his arteries have blockage/plaque in them. they don't know how bad yet. More test needed however it can be something as easy as meds to a full triple bypass possibly a quad bypass because there is one artery they could not see that well on results. Ok I can deal with that like I said he faught hard on tuesday and made it through the night.
Now what I was not prepared for. When my husband collapsed he also was seizing. He is 50 years old. The specialist said there is a reason for that- he made have had a stroke that set off the heart. Or the heart caused him to stroke. I said no they said test said no stroke =he said test said no stroke at that time. So now full brain scans and function test. What floored me and scared me the most is the Dr said he never seized before in his life? We said no - he said most men 50 and over who have a seizure usually do because of brain tumor. Now this is the hard thing for me to swallow. This hit me out of no where. I would never thought of this nor do I want to.
My friends and familly keep saying oh the dr has to tell you everything but I find myself focusing on this. So please my friends I ask you say just a silent thought to your God.
Iv'e been talking to mine now for 2 days and I swear he is on vacation in Vegas.
Deep down i know we will get through what ever this may be but right now I am tired and worried and feel just a little lost. Too much info to process and to many questions to ask.
It's now 6 am here and getting ready to go back to hospital for the day, just needed a place to get my thoughts and nerves in check. Gonna be a long couple days of test and holding my breath. Feeling stronger as I write this Thank you for letting me let it out.
Remember no matter what just hug the one you love today because you just never know.
