Horrible week, hope light at end of tunnel ain't a train.

Bad two weeks, thought I was having a bad asthma attack went to my medical groups urgent care center and on 10/29 was sent to the hospital with a heart attack. Was sent to the Cath lab and stented. Next day found out I was being sent to another hospital for a high risk additional stenting.
Before I left I stopped breathing during a 8 foot walk to the toilet. Not so good but I was told that the next stent should take care of this problem. Every thing went well until they told me my ejection fraction was under 20%. But it should improve during the next three to six months. However the breathing problem still reoccurred. I was xrayed and checked by my nephrologist I was retaining fluid and starting on Wednesday I had 4 kilos pulled at wed, Fri, Sat( extra session) and Monday's session. I had been losing weight and seem to stop a couple of weeks ago, it appears that I lost weight but retained fluid. Bummer.
Strangely after this on the way to my car I had a breathing episode PM, could not get air in, sweating and dizzy. Once again on to urgent care no one has any idea what's going on. The doctor working thankfully was a careing bright young doctor who worked his butt off trying to get me a hospital bed. But I hadn't eaten all day and it was around 5:00 PM. So I told the nurse is was leaving AMA. No one was happy so I got up and began to leave. That's when the third breathing failure occurred. As I watched the heart monitor the display began to behave bizarrely for about 3 minutes.couldnt breath when suddenly the monitor reverted to what it was like before the weirdness and I suddenly could breath. Doctor comes to convince me to stay, I readily agreed,that meltdown scared the spit out of me. As the doctor left a nurse came in and as I headed to the bed it occurred again, nurse hit alarm and print function. Doctor came back and began to order paddles attached to me, I was telling him it would stop soon since I had just seen a demo of this and as quickly as it started it stopped. I was going into vacation and miraculously a bed opted up in the CCU. Now tomorrow I am being transferred to another hospital to have a defilberator installed. Then another week of therapy for Afib.
All I can think of is how lucky I was to get a doctor that fought for me all afternoon, and how lucky i was for being a a...ole about leaving AMA and provoking the VTac episode that explained all my problems. This is why I think being nice counts, you need. All the karma you can get.
