Every time my chronic pain gets me down
I find out someone else has it worse. I just found out my brother in law, who is also a very good friend. Just had a heart attack. And he is 10 younger than me!
So off I go, down to the valley. In hopes that everything will be OK.
Good luck, Jim

and prayers. My brother in law is doing fine after 2 stints were installed.
There is something to be learned here. He happened to be at his p.c. Dr. having a check up for an episode that had happened over the previous weekend. And his Dr. said that he had had a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital immediately.
If he would have shined this on and not got it checked, things would have surely not worked out as well for him.
Never take chances! Always go get checked!
Good luck, Jim

I should let you talk to my husband about that, Jim. He has been through sooooo much and it is still hard to get him to a doc. Glad your BIL is doing well.
