Thank you all for your well wishes for hubby. Yes, it was scary because he should have gone to the hospital two days earlier. When he finally said to take him somewhere because he couldn't stand it anymore, I did. We went to our local hospital emergency. When they couldn't get an EKG reading, that is when the decision was made for the life flight. So to say he's doing good is an understatement. It could have been much much worse if he would have waited even an hour more. Needless to say I had asked him several times about getting checked but he would just grumble. There is absolutely no doubt that stress was a major factor. Rarely a day would go by that he wasn't bitching about something at work. We spent over two years fighting with the local yolkalls over zoning. In November his mother had hip surgery, was recovering, got the flu bug bad and ended up in the hospital and since then has been going downhill. She was to have back surgery in April, actually scheduled for the 28th but her pre-admissions tests showed a problem with her heart. He had taken her to the doctor the day his problems began. And add to that, our daughter-in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer on February 7th. She is responding very well to chemo and surgery is temp scheduled for June 23rd. Mother-in-law's back surgery has been rescheduled for June 16th because her stress test came back OK. Saturday we are leaving for Marathon FL for 11 days for a much needed vacation.........I need it especially bad! Our 15 year old granddaughter is getting a vacation too. She gets to stay at our house and take care of the puppies and the dogs. A week after we get back, Roxie is expecting and as big as she is already, there must be a herd in her belly. It will only be her second litter at four years old. Her first one came when she was just 8 months old............not planned!!!! Then at two years old she got milk and nursed Reggie's girls two years ago after Reggie died suddenly when the girls were only 8 days old. We are rather excited about this litter as it will be the first that Buddy sired.

So again, thank you all for your prayers.
