Hospital---I Went In On Wed And Got Out Late Sat. Night---Last Few Months I Have Been Passing Out And Having Chest Pains---But I Really Did NOT Think Much Of It---I Would Go Over Backwards Lay There A While And Get Up And Forget About It---The Chest Pains Keep Getting More And More Often Often---I Finally Went To The Doctor And Told Him I Thought It Was Angina Or I Was Taking Too Much Medicine---So Whats He Do But Send Me Down Stairs To Have A EKG And Blood Tests---Well Late Wed. Nite I Got A Call To Go To The Emergency Room---So I Drive 45 Miles To Sunny Side (Kaiser Hospital) In Portland Or.---I Get There And I Am FLAT On My A^& Before I Had Time To F--- I Still Never Thought There Was Anything Wrong---But I Had A Chemical Imbalance That Was Causing All The Problem---My Blood Pressure Was Sky High---Between Both Problems Was Causing Me To Have The Chest Pain And Passing Out---I Had Around 12-15 Tests---So Far I Guess It Did Not Do Anything To My Heart BUT If Either Problem Starts Again I Will Have To Do More Tests--- God Do I HATE Those Running Stress Tests---I Only Got (1) Meal A Day Because I Could Not Eat And Do The Tests---Never Bothered Me Much As I Was Two Darn Tired To Do Much More Than SLEEP---Hope I Don't Have To Go Back As I Was Stuck In With A Bunch Of OLD Guys Verns Age---One Thing I Was Doing Wrong Was Never Careing How Much SALT I Ate---Now I Got A Bunch Of New Medicine To Take---Nitro Patches To Wear And WEIGHT To Lose (50 Lbs)---Heck I Did Not Weigh As Much As The General---I Dont Think---Why Does He Weigh As Much As He Does---We Are ALL Part Of His Problem---I Always Did The Same As He Does Now And That Is---Thinking Because WE Can Eat A Lot And People Tell Us We Do----What Do We Do But Eat Way More Than We Need Just To Keep Our Image That People Have Of Us---Up Till I Was (40) I Never Gained Weight---People Would Say How Can You Go Into A Restaurant And Eat (2) LARGE Breakfasts--Way More Dinner Than Any One Else Could Even Start To Eat---I Was Still Doing That And Thats How I Got To 210 Lbs. So I Am Quiting Showing Off About How Much I Can Eat, And Lose That Weight---Then Maybe My Knees--And Back Wont Hurt So Much---And Again Be Able To Bend Over And STILL Breathe At The Same Time---And NOT Have To Use A Pick To Help Me Back Up When I Get Down On My Knees---They Told Me I Was Very Lucky That Those Pains Did NOT Hurt My Heart---I Hope !! But They Sure Hurt Like H%#@---Any Thats What I Have Been Doing To Pass The Time In My OLD Age----Whats Funny They Give You A Sleeping Pill And A Hr. Later You Get Woke Up To The Tune Of---I Am Here To Take Your Vitals OR I Need A Gal. Of Your Blood----I Will Say One Thing I Was Treated Excellent, Not Like When I Was In When I Was 7 And 23
