The ambulance got him to the trauma hospital in 40 mins, and that was during rush hour. And then he was rushed right into the angio room. They took an hour and a half, and didnt tell me anything all that time. So that was last wed that this happened. I was so glad they didnt have to do heart surgery. My neighbours drove into the city and picked me up and took me home that night, and two other times they drove me in to see my husband. My husband was supposed to go home on saturday, but each day he wasnt well enough to come home, but he finally came home on tuesday, so he was in there for a week. I was really stressed the whole time he was gone. And im just so glad he is home now. He had to stop smoking right there and then, and so i did too. He wasnt able to smoke in the hospital, and i quit cold turkey at home. He's also getting used to eating a heart healthy diet. My husband is very overweight, and i really hope he can get this under control. He seems to be really trying. But we both seem to be on edge and snapping at each other so easy, i dont know why, cus i missed him so much. But i'm just so glad he is home now
