Well, it's a hectic couple of days in my life.
Thursday started out just like any other day, late to work--stupid traffic, craziness at work, etc. I got a phone call from L saying that he was going to the doctor early. He had an appointment later in the day, but he was having chest pains so he was going to go early. I didn't think much about it because he has had chest pains for about 4 years (usually stress or anxiety related). But this seemed to worry him because his head was stinging and his arm was tingling. So about lunch time I got a phone call saying they were admitting him to the hospital for observation. So, I left work and headed to the hospital. He was telling to stay at work and come on afterward, yeah right. No matter how confused I am about him right now, he is still my husband and I'll be darned if I'm going to let him sit in the hospital and me not be there.
On a rather funny note though, he's a weenie when it comes to needles! I mean, when I was in the hospital for the strokes, I was stuck like a pin cushion every 2 hours for 7 days and they only stuck him like 4 times the entire time and he whined every time. It's not funny really, but men will never cease to amaze me like that!
Anyway. They didn't find anything though the overnight obversation, but the doctor came in about 6:30 am and said it was time for another stress test. He had done one of those either shortly before or after we got married. So we headed to Nashville to Vanderbilt. Again, it appears that nothing is wrong with him. They did the acid reflux test and stuff this time. So that was something different.
I truly believe this is panic/stress related. He started having these types pains with an ex-girlfriend when he was frustrated with her, so that leads me to believe that he's not allowing himself to handle any stress in a productive way. Well, that and smoking 3 packs of cigarettes a day. Now, I'm not sure what to do about him all the way around, but call me crazy but chain smoking like that is one sure why to make yourself sick and make sure that you're not going to be around. I know he didn't ask to be put in the hospital, but I can't help but wonder if he didn't use this as some sort of "test" to see how I would act if he were in the hospital since everyone gave him such a hard time about the way he acted when I was in the hospital. He's changed so much outwardly anyway in such a short time, I can't help but be more than skeptical about him.

hmmm. that's very interesting. attention seeking maybe? maybe he feels like if he has a major catastrophie you'll stick around? i dunno man, but he sounds a bit shrink wrapped.
I think you've hit the nail on the head, Liz.
You know my thoughts...
Run! :)
