Glad you're still here. Keep up with the Doc's and things should work out as they should. Sounds like you have a good fiancé there. Good luck & prayers.

I’ll be fine if I die

After reviewing how long I could live after retirement, I concluded this same thing.

Thanks for this Don. You remind me that I have been in God's hands since age 9 in my awareness and a lifetime of trusting Him won't end at death. I literally can't imagine life without God. That makes me a terrible evangelist but an excellent counselor.

Hopefully everything will work out. Best of luck and listen to what they say - for the most part. I only allow myself two cans of Pepsi a day. Don't drink tea or coffee. No caffeine would kill me.

Don,
For them to have such trouble finding a vein to get an IV started sounds like you were dehydrated. That constricts the vessels and forces blood pressure up. I have Atrial fibrillation, heart sometimes races to 140ish. It used to do that in the presence of a beautiful woman or a huge buck! I’m sure the cardiologist mentioned the risk of blood clots in the lower chamber of the heart if indeed it was afib, so you get to start taking high priced Eloquis. There is much that can go wrong with old hearts like ours, but treatment has come a long way the last 20 years. I will surely remember you in prayer. How is Shari since chemo?

I’m with your fiancé. Kinda like having you around. Prayers and my best for your future.

Sounds like SVT and not AFIB. Wife has had a few issues with the SVT over the past few years. There are a bunch of different causes. Dehydration can cause electrolyte issues and result in it. Good Luck.

Don, God's best for you!

[dverna]

Yetavon, yes it was SVT.

Hogtamer, thank you for asking about Shari. She came through the cancer very well and is doing fine. The Lord has sent some challenges our way lately. It started with the death of our 4 YO granddaughter just over 2 years ago. And last night we learned a close friend we first met at church needs a liver transplant.

Like they say, "The hits just keep on coming."

But faith is a wonderful strength to fall back on.

[David2011]

Don’s experience brings to mind that we all need a contact to let this community know if something serious happens to us. Continued prayers your way, Don.

Hang in there Don. I had my heart reset awhile back and it was unpleasant. I would Appreciate some notice before I expire. Need to sell off a lot of crap so my wife can have the money and not have to deal with it.

oh...no caffeine, that'd be tough for me.

No caffeine, I'd rather die
