Sad but true

It has been 2 years for me this is what happened. I got myself so worked up about the anniversary of Gene's passing coming I ended in the hospital--in ICU. The doctors told me that it was life threating. I was on a verge of a heart attack. My blood pressure went sky high in just 45 minutes. I went in for 6 days. The point I am getting to is that I wasn't trying to think of the day-trying to keep busy but it nailed me. I told everyone that what happened is that a sign must of went up in heaven saying Vicki is ready to come and my Gene looked up replied OH no I am not ready, for two years he was having a ball. So needless to say I am out of the hospital working on blood pressure and they are going to do surgery on me in October for a growth on my thyrod that they found when I was in the hospital. The good part is that when I got out I did receive two winks from Gene--I guess he is trying to make up for me not joining him. We will survive but some days do suprise us with tears, sadness, joy, feeling of all sort that mix us up to no end.

Vicki,
I was just thinking of you when I signed into EONS and presto there was a message from you. I am so sorry that you are going through such a rough patch with your health, but you know that Gene is right there by your side helping you get better. I had a scare with my blood pressure around Christmas and really thought maybe it would be the end for me also, but after getting two new prescriptions for medicine and adjusting the diet, my blood pressure settled down again. This grieving thing takes a toll on our health and mind so badly that my doctor was very worried about you and told me that the death of one's spouse is the most stressful thing that can happen to you. So heed the doctors words and watch you diet and take the meds and try and relax and think of some happy times between you and Gene.
Hugs,
Kathy

Vicki, thank God you're doing okay now. I've missed seeing you around...
Kathy's right - this grief business does take a huge toll on us, and we often don't see what's happening until it blindsides us. Know that you're in my thoughts and prayers. (Gene misses you but isn't in a hurry to see you, right now.)
hugs...marty
