Last wk before the carving show in Townsend,I called the oxygen dept at the VA,the lady in charge,always has my tanks & machine waiting for my arrival in the motel room. It was all waiting for me last wk end too. Just speaking with her on the phone,she said,your breathing isnt right Forrest,she set me some lung test yesterday at the VA.
I couldnt even make some of the test,my breathing was down that bad. The glass body box test,you are inside,I couldnt even make 2 test in it this time. Checking my other lung functions, and the blood test they do in your artery they all hit bottem.
At the VA you have to go through your main Dr to get anything done,see about other problems,etc which can take months! She told me after Id been there for hrs yesterday,I need to been seen my a Pulmonary Dr. right away. She called me later yesterday,You have a appt with such in such Pulmonary Dr at 8:30 am today. My wife went with me.
Right on time,the nurse took me to him,he pulled up every thing about me on his PC,he took me for the walk with the thing on your finger,he bought me back to the room quick. Cking more about me on his PC and all the test and reports and picts of my insides,he send me to have a ECG/EKG,took only 3-4 mins,took the papers from that test right back to him.
In Feb,I went to the ER at the VA with chest pains,hooked me to all the machines and I was there about 6 hrs,sent home no heart problem.
The Dr this morning compared that Feb test,Forrest you was on the line of haven a big heart attack right then that day and todays EKG scan showed Id had a heart attack since this past Feb.{wasnt the first time the VA Drs almost killed me in the ER} He sent my main Dr all this information with all the test or anything he has to approve. I got Nitrostat Nitroglycerin pills in my pocket even as Im typing this plus hope I get the paper work soon next wk for all the heart test! He told me,you might need surgery or something else about your now heart problems.
HOW I made the hot trip and all down to the Townsend show,I will never know. The Dr told me today,You dont even go outside till you come in for the heart tests. I told him,I have two little dogs I have to walk out side,YOU CANT DO IT! My wife will take off tomorrow to help me on the dogs plus any thing I need.
Guess the main caver & creator in the sky,has carving for me to do in the future when I get seen about this new problem with my heart.
Besides all the above,I missed a whole day today of carving,will start on something tomorrow.lol
Thanks for your thoughts and I'll take them and your prayers!
