can anything else go wrong?

This can be considered a blupdate on Lunatic.  I should have done this night before last, but my mind has been elsewhere; which everyone will understand why shortly.  Thank you, Mom for reminding me to blupdate.

Anyway, Lunatic is back in the hospital and I am losing my mind from worry.  When the ambulance was called for him on Tuesday afternoon, we were not sure what was wrong with him.  He, Janice and I were sitting in our room talking when his hands began to twitch.  Next thing I knew, he had clutched his chest and keeled over.  Janice, being nearer to where he was, jumped up to check for a pulse and make sure he had not hit his head.  She found that his pulse was almost non-exsistant and he was unconscious.  He came to for a few minutes and said that his chest hurt, so we gave him a nitro before he passed out again.  At this point, Janice and I felt it would be best to just go ahead and call the ambulance.

When the paramedics arrived, we explained what had happened and gave them information on his health concerns and his prescriptions.  I was not able to go with him, due to the lack of gas in the car and money for gas; so I had to wait a little over three hours to hear anything.  They said they were keeping him for observation overnight, so he asked me to bring him some pjs and clothes.  When I spoke to him yesterday, he informed me that they still wanted to do some tests to see what was going on and were keeping him another night.  I just spoke to the nurse’s station on his floor, and I was told that he has just had a cardiac catheter done and should be in recovery from that for the next half hour or so.  As the last time he had this particular test done, he was told that he needed immediate triple bypass surgery; I am beside myself with worry.  I need him to be all right.  I have no clue as to how I am supposed to live without him.

Putting this off for a couple hours.  Talked to Lunatic.  Will continue later.

    Well, you know what else DID go wrong. Blupdate. Tell Lunatic to get off the computer and go back to bed.
