So sorry for your wife's illness and the storm damage! I feel for you, hopefully your insurance will cover all damage. Please keep us posted about your wife~We are expecting a storm this morning that could be damaging...! Never seen so many strong storms before!

Don't cry for a man who's left you--the next one may fall for your smile.

John - prayers and hugs to you both. Your house will be fine - it's just wood and nails and can be fixed. I'm sure your darling wife will be fine too. Take good care of each other.

Thank you to everyone in this thread. My wife was released yesterday and the problem to this point has been isolated as some type of liver issue. The Gastro Doctor said these things some times are "cyclical" and what happens is a sudden big drop in BP. Sometimes it comes back up and sometimes it does not without some assistance.

I won't say "heart attack symptoms" because I don't want anyone to rely this as a reason to think they are having a heart attack. As I've said before, with neither of my heart attacks did I have any of the so-called "typical heart attack symptoms". I relied and still rely on my communication with my body when I feel something is not right.

More out-patient blood work and possible more ultrasounds and CAT scans related to liver issues. Going to get her to slow down with this traveling on over the place with her Boxer Rescue work. She loves doing it and I love helping her, but I draw my line at driving the Midwest. Said here many times I do am not a "rambling man". I got all the traveling I wanted when Auto Racing and my tour in the US Army.

Still dealing with my shingles and will be seeing my Cardiologist about my bouts of Tachycardia and see if they can come up with what might be setting this off. I did some reading in my older Cardiology books and I found a way known by a non-medical doctor to bring my heart rate back to normal BPM's within a minute. Shocked I was never told of this procedure over my many years of heart issues and attending 72 Cardiac Rehab Classes.

Thank you all so much and I will be sure to have my wife read all of these caring and thoughtful posts to her/myself and our furry ones.
