Our thoughts are with you. I have MSNBC on non-stop with the news. I’m telling all my kids, none of us can dare complain about a thing. We aren’t spending DAYS stuck in 100 degree traffic, terrified we won’t get away from a killer hurricane, all the while running out of gas and food. Millions of people are. They’re the ones with problems right now. The rest of us are pure lucky.
Well, I watched Rita make landfall from my hospital bed at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola. I had an angina attack. Just one of those heart problems I inherited from my Cheroenhaka/Saponi grandmother. 🙂 I was there 2 days what a miserable place. Oh well….It would seem Rita was not all that bad my sister said her trees were doing the hula dance but they all stood up to the wind. We got several of Rita’s outer bands so it was nasty here but I just watched it through the window in my room and we needed the rain my husband said he could have done without the wind he drove over to the hospital in but he came over there anyway.

Sorry you’ve been miserable, too, Linda. You can complain. Angina sounds pretty scary. I hope they’ve got a good eye on you.
Linda,
I just hate having to go to the hospital they keep poking me for blood and wraping my arms with those blood pressure cups and making me take their meds(I call them chemicals). Everytime I have to go they treat me like I’ve had a heart attack because angina can lead to a full blown heart attack. I just look at them and say I have not had a heart attack yet I’m here so you all can stop it before it happens so lets get on with it. Apparently these attacks are damaging my heart a little bit. My doctors do the A,B,C,D,F, scale when grading the heart. They tell me I’m walking around with a B heart and it’s time to make some changes (ie no more smoking). This attack did scare me it was worse then any heart pain I had felt before….personally I think this was brought on by the stress of this hurricane season. When Rita hit cat 5 my heart started acting up. So I go to the hospital they stablize it and they make me lay there hooked up to a heart monitor. fun fun
