So at 4:00am this I woke up out of a sound sleep. I was sleeping quite well actually. time to get . I had this sharp pain in my left shoulder. It hurt to breath. I thought 'oh dear - not again' I told myself it will go away. I was really tired so I tried to lay back down and go to sleep. It hurt more to lay down. Finally after about 10 mins or so, I woke up Carl and had him get me a nitro-patch. It HURT but not as bad as the last time. It just felt like someone punched me when I took a breathe. I started feeling better with the patch on and took it off after I got up. Carl decided he would take me to work - so I didn't have to take the bus. I was feeling better, and promised to call the Dr.

Long story short - the Dr wanted me to come in this afternoon. That had me a little bit scared again because I didn't want to go through it all over again. I was feeling better but a little tight and a little sore in my chest. The nitro makes me a little shakey and gives me a NASTY headache. It makes me feel kinda funny. The Dr said these spams are normal after a heart attack, he said sometimes they can go on for 6months but then go away. So now I get to take a nitro pill every day. We're starting with only half of one, so my headaches won't be so severe and my blood pressure won't bottom out. We think it's been dropping at night.

The part that drives me nuts is it happens when I'm the most relaxed. Like when I'm sleeping or getting up. I still have an appt in Nov. I guess I'll have to have them more often now. I feel better just tired a lot. I'm frustrated but trying to just underestand it too.

Otherwise life is good and has been pretty calm. I have my picks ready for fantasy football. We were fortunate to get enough players this year. A few of them football players themselves so it should be fun!! Oh and BYU has it's kickoff tomorrow! GO COUGARS!!
