Big Relief

On Friday Steve complained about pain below his heart. We figured he pulled a muscle working out or moving some cement pieces in our back yard. That night he said the pain was so bad it woke him up and he almost woke me up to take him to the hospital. Finally he found one position that was comfortable and was able to sleep a little. The next day the pain had moved up and was were his heart was. We aren't ones to run to the dr. so we went about our day. We tried to get blocks for our garden but the place was closed so we drove up to IKEA to look around it. Meanwhile Steve was having a hard time taking a breath and would gasp every couple of minutes. We got to IKEA and he could hardly walk into the store, so we got him a wheelchair. We made it up the elevator and he was still having a hard time breathing sitting down so I told him we were going to the dr's. You can't quickly get out of IKEA's. We went to our dr's office and they told us to go to the emergency room. On the drive to the hospital we discussed some things we never had, like what song do you want sung at your funeral. We both like the same hymn and want it sung. I think we will be having some more discussions and also getting our trust done. We got to the emergency room and they immediately took us back. Did some tests and his heart looked great. The cardiologist was in the hospital so he came down and looked over things then had Steve do a stress test which he passed. They figured that he had some imflammation around his lungs and that causes pain around the heart. So we got a prescription for anti-inflammatories and he has been doing better. Also Taylor received his Duty to God award and we are done. What a relief.
