just got out of the hospital d/t having a mild heart attack  it really sucks I was feeling so good  the home hemo was doing well and th Dr. said that if my numbers were good next month they may decrease my days from 6 to 4 or 5 a week, so I was flying on cloud nine then last sunday I woke up with chest pain my 16 year old called 911 and off I was to the hospital the frustration is so high as things just seem to get worse, and then I worried that since I have had a heart attack would this keep me from having a transplant, my doctor said no that it should not matter unless I get really bad the heart that is.  anyway I just needed to vent i am very frustrated

I am glad you are doing okay after your heart attack, that must have scared the crap out of you. It sucks when things pile up (medical things), I do understand, I dont have any advice really, just hang in there, and tell that brave child what a great kid she/he is!   :grouphug; :grouphug;

dyann, Sorry to hear about your heart attack, I hope everything is ok. Did you have to have any surgery? It just seems like one thing after another doesn't , one minute you are doing ok and the next your not. We all go through this and you will get through it, trust me. We have to stay positive. Lots of hugs.
