An update and a thanks
First, I want to thank each and every one of you who wrote encouraging things to me and who prayed over my husband about his heart attack diagnosis. I knew there were some really great people here at BuddySlim, but I never realized how many of you truly do have a heart for the others here. So many of you lifted my husband in prayer and told me to “hang in there.” You are all priceless and I hope you are all blessed beyond words. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Now for the update part. I ended up taking my husband BACK to the ER Friday because he felt, once again, as if he was having a heart attack. The ER doctor’s were awesome and jumped right in to assist him in any way possible. The did an EKG, ran cardiac enzyme tests, took x-rays….all that stuff and finally, after hours and hours waiting for the results, the doctor came in and told us that Tony did NOT have a heart attack but that he has a hiatel (sp) hernia and that can cause the exact same symptoms as a heart attack. Woooohooooo!!! That’s the best news I’ve heard in the past two weeks.
So now, he’s NOT going to die of heart failure any time soon and if he’ll get his cholesterol in line and make sure he continues to drink lots of fluid, he should be fine and dandy for a very long time. :grin:
I feel like my life has started over again. I feel like now I’ll have someone to grow old with. I feel like now I can get back on this diet journey and get those pounds dropping once again. I didn’t do too badly….only gained 4 during the past 2 weeks while dealing with this stuff. I do, however, feel like I’m starting all over again from square one. Oh well….it’ll pass.
Thanks again to all my wonderful, wonderful friends who have supported me in this time of need. I now know that I can come here and can depend on you guys to lift me up and help me through. You are a GREAT bunch of people!! I love you all!!

Oh Maggie, I am so so happy for your husbands diagnosis. That is so much better then heart disease. You are both so blessed to have each other..live each day with a smile on your face and love in your heart!! You’ll get the weight off, and together you and your family will live a long happy life!!
WONDERFUL news! Praise the good Lord.
I think there’s a part in every single one of us that want to turn to food when we get emotional or upset. It’s bred into our culture and something very hard to overcome.
Doing this together, we WILL get there.
Hugs,
Shanna

Thank God and the Heavens above that your DH is doing better. I’m very pleased to hear that. Don’t worry about starting over, we all have to do that several times!
That is such fantastic news!!! God does answer prayers! I am sooo happy for you. And it may seem like you will be starting your plan all over again but I love your attitude because you are right. It will pass. And now is a great time to really get you and your hubby to work on eating right together for his sake too. Good luck. And again, I am sooo happy for you. What happened to you could have happened to anyone else including myself. So good news for you means good news could come our way too when we have a similar situation come by us. Yay Maggie!
