What a way to get some time off

Went out to dinner last Friday with my daughter to hear my nephew's band
play. Was feeling kinda tired. Had a light meal. Came home early. Fell
asleep early.

Woke up at 1:30 a.m. feeling uncomfortable in my chest. Slugged down some
Maalox cause every good type-A-er knows that's the Cure-All. No change.
Dozed for a bit. Woke up at 2:10 a.m. feeling like I had an elephant
standing on my chest. Pain going into my left jaw. It didn't pass or
lessen after a few minutes, so I went down and asked my daughter to take me
to the hospital.

Two days and several sets of cardiac enzymes later, they determined I had a
mild heart attack. Very low potassium. Now I have to go through all the
stupid cardiac testing that I've had countless docs already tell me isn't
designed to be as accurate on women as it is men.

Now on 3 separate days this week I've broken out in very painful hives.....

Diagnosis??


IMO-- S T R E S S!!

Wedding planning, house-hunting, financial issues, 65 clients on my
caseload......
