I don't know whether to cry from worry or hug & hug my little Manx Joey.....my husband has been suffering from intense shortness of breath & intermittent dizziness, headache & extreme fatigue. Turns out he's got some sort of masses either on his heart or his lungs; yesterday he had an irregular heartbeat, topped by fast beats of over 180 plus increasing difficulty breathing and irregular blood pressure.
He's been in hospital since yesterday, and while the heartrate has been slowed , it's still erratic and fluid is now accumlating in the bottom of his chest, so they flew him to Reno (approx. 200 miles away).

About 10 days ago, his regular doctor had already said it was just a bad cold plus hay fevers

But JOEY(
).....Joey, who never leaves my side if possible, turned all his attention to my DH, even sleeping with him on Sunday night. Joey is not close to my DH, so I realized that Joey was predicting with his attentive behavior serious illness (as he does for me and my kids, without fail). I made an appointment with my preferred medical care providers who immediately hospitalized DH and the seriousness of my DH's condition was discovered.
It was hard to see the airplane fly away without me along, but I have to tend the business - as it is, DH had to give up a case with a preliminary examination, so I hope that our client gets as good a result as if my DH had done the case
. Maybe if all goes well, I can be on my way to Reno by tomorrow noon - the hospital staffs seemed so puzzled that I wasn't staying close by his side and I'm just hoping he improves, because I do feel guilty, and yet, life goes on and I can't leave our clients out in the lurch and my DH's court cases uncovered

So, if you can spare some vibes....thanks! Susan

Oh man how scary! I hope they can figure it out, and fix it without surgery!

And
to you for having to stay home while he's there - that must be hard!
