Mystery Diagnosis

After a month of sporadic abdominal pain and a near fainting, the patient decided to visit the doctor. The doctor had a number of ideas for the pain but found a "slight abnormality" on an EKG, so sent the patient over to the ER. After another EKG, a CT scan (no major problems w/ organs, etc), and other testing, the doctors were able to to rule out most serious problems and left the patient with these words on advice:

--Eat more fiber

--Take care when lifting heavy little boys

and

--De-stress and refocus in your life

Two months after the ER visit, he's also had a echocardiogram done (checking why the EKG's were reading abnormal) and we've paid more than $800 in medical bills--but he has a clean bill of health (except the high blood pressure that he's now on medication for)!
Yeah, it's been a crazy fall for us! But I'm grateful for good health insurance, modern medicine, healthy bodies and my wonderful husband and sons! We are very blessed!

Talk about people not filling other people in LOL
when I say "so, what's new with you?"
you're supposed to say..."oh, ya know husband thinks he's dying...the usual..."LOL

J always says he never needs to go the Dr b/c all they are going to tell him is to eat better and exercise.
i just ask if he would listen better to them :)
