We all need to listen a bit more carefully to our bodies, don't we?<br /><br />I'm so glad you're OK, and hopefully you'll even make it beyond the age of your mom. ;)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Liz @ The Brambleberry CottageLiz @ the Brambleberry Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15884107407813083090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815641866110708561.post-83948483867835676342012-12-25T08:27:44.418-08:002012-12-25T08:27:44.418-08:00I am so glad you shared this.

And fer hevvins, sake ~ call 911!!! That way, if your heart stops, the EMT's can get it going again!<br /><br />bobbie howder R.N.

I am so happy you survived to live and enjoy all that God has given you. Maybe your purpose now is to spread the word. Women are so used to taking care of everyone else that we minimize our own pain- discomfort.

What a scary experience. I will certainly remember this for future reference (hopefully VERY far off future) that a woman can experience a heart attack without feeling intense pain. Or maybe we are just better at handling it then men? I think it's definitely in our genetic makeup to wait as long as possible before we get help - we don't want anyone to make a fuss over us for nothing. But in your case, that was definitely not nothing! As annoying as it is, I'm glad you've got that defibrilator around, just in case. I'm going to say a little prayer of thanks for you, and hope that you never have to experience this again!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815641866110708561.post-40931610961347946952012-12-15T11:22:27.035-08:002012-12-15T11:22:27.035-08:00First of all, I'm glad you made it to the hosp...First of all, I'm glad you made it to the hospital in time.<br /><br />This was really good for me to read because sometimes I get bad heart burn and think heart attack, but I had no idea that a heart attack might not be painful. I'm like you and would have waited also. For me it's too much pride.

She had all the same warning signs and took 12 hours to mention to my dad. It was the middle of the night. He did call 911 and she nearly died twice before they got her to the hospital.
