This is my shout out to me: "Calloo, Callay, oh what a frabjous day! My heartburn is heartburn and not the big one...the massive tsunami of an artery...the killer heart attack. I'm 'sposed to take my meds with pepcid. Hey, I'm a manly man, I don't need no stinkin' pepcid. [It costs too much] But, voila, I do need a little pep". I take all my meds in a shot glass...old habit you know...knock it on down like a big boy...only the combination of heart and head meds leads to manly man stomach acid...HEARTBURN! I feel like scrooge on Xmas day. Oh, what a happy clown am I. I can play. I'm 63 and I can play. I guess washing down my celexa or prozac and gabapentin
[neurontinin] with a glass of coffee is not too,
shall I be civil? No way. It is effin stupid, lazy, and worstest of all, has a way of catching up with one] So, a shot and a glass of skim milk. SKIM MILK! You bet, I love the stuff. a shot glass of pills and a side of skim milk. Oh, I'm a never quite recovering alcoholic, and this is bliss. No more shot and a Piels for breaky, now I can delight in the light of right. I'm still nuts, but I can go out and sledge hammer rocks and act like a goon with my grandkids. I suffer from heartburn. Man, but I am so damn thick and stupid. I have to learn to listen to my doctor, who happens to be my wife. Why is she allways right? I gotta find out that one. But I was terrified that I'd be consigned to the Cath Lab. Sorry to be such a nerk, but I am so glad that I can go out and just do stuff. Heck, maybe I'll go fly a kite like the kite surfers I can see soaring over the waves. Whoopie! with gratitude, Cockeyed.

I'm glad it was not more serious. I do wonder though, about whether your wife is the best doctor for you? I know that treating family members is discouraged, because it can be too hard to be objective.

gardenergirl, hi. No, my wife is not my cardiologist; she's just allways right about my excesses. I'd seen my dr. that day and was feeling...amused? Not so today, I'm in hypochondriac mode. But reading these posts cheers me up. I could be doing a lot worse. I learned about nerve pain from sciatica. oh how that smarts, like malfunctioning neon fire running up and down one's leg and back. but there's a bit of a cloud on the horizon. Last year I got my own personal stent which I think sometimes backs the blood flow up. I'm not really up for calling a plumber right now...want nothing to do with hospitals. I guess I'm in the right place on this site: I'm nutty enuff to be cheered up when I realize that I(don't have some of the problems that others suffer. I can't resist the old cliche "misery loves company" and I guess I'm not as mis'bl' as I like to think I am. I'll now hit the hay and count my blessings instead of sheep. [no i won't. someone will hear me and blindside me. Faulty logic? So what. I've a faulty mind. Enuff nonsense. cockeyed. Oh, and thanks.
