Trip to the E.R.

Around 2:00 A.M. my wife wakes me up and said she had terrific chest pains and was afraid she was having a heart attack. Since we live in a senior complex, she tried to use her personal alarm, but it did not respond. So she used mine and it wasn't long before we had a total of at least 5 EMS men here to take her to the emergency room. I follow in our car.
We spend the rest of the day, from about 3:00 AM until around about 6:00 PM today before they release her. Did a bunch of tests. She had chest pains and Afibrilllation (I think) was what they called it.
Came home with a new blood thinner and hopes that her
diagnosis is correct. That emergency room was packed, they had patients on hospital beds in the hall, and once I said are you going to put Jean in the hospital. The answer was 'we cant, there's no room!" Since we had arrived so early we had a room in the E.R.
Our RX for the blood thinner was $37 with our medical plan. The pharmacist said it would have been $617 without a plan! Amazing. Just Sayin...RJS

Kathe and I are thinking of you. Afib can be very serious, but it is fairly easy to control. Follow doctor's orders. Wishing you both the very best.

Incredible. I pray Jean is ok. Pricing is unconscionable. Stay safe and get some rest. Make sure to get her personal alarm checked out…..just sayin’.
