    Thanks everyone, I am a little embarrased by the attention. I feel like I should be doing great by now, but I am still in some pain. I am totally off the pain killers they gave me at the hospital as it just made me really sick almost as bad as the surgery itself, who would know that they could make you that sick. I have just been on Ibuprofen and that helped so much more, before I could not even sit up without feeling sick now I am doing really well.

    I have not been on the internet much since getting home. Thank you Flipper so much for doing this thread for me. I really appreciate all of your comments of concern for me from eveyone. Thank you all so much.

    I do not know what I would do with our Flipper and Mrs. Flipper, they mean the world to me. They both have hearts of gold they are the most wonderful people, I am so glad I have gotten to know them through this sight.

    I talked to both Flipper and Mrs. Flipper last night on the phone thank you so much for calling last night and checking in on me. As I told Flipper and Mrs. Flipper over the weekend while I was just lying around and my husband was really trying to be helpful and kind getting me anything I need. He even did one of my cleaning jobs for me on Saturday but then on Sunday night he started to get kind of snippy with me, I was thinking oh great the JW mood is coming back but then I looked at him and noticed he was gray and looking really bad himself.

    I called the doctor first thing Monday and they had him in for tests all day Tuesday at the hospital because of his two heart attacks he has had in the past.

    I know I should not blame the religion for all of this but I do still somewhat. With his two heart attacks the elders had him right back up conducting the school the next week no breaks or time off for him as they did not want the school themselves.

    When I got him to the doctors office on Monday my husband told the doctor that he was stressed out because I was so sick and he did not know what to do to help me and Sunday night he was feelling chest pain. I now know that the stress of being an elder was really bad on him. Even when we were in the hospital for his tests Tuesday that night was the night for the our school and service meeting my husband joked that if he was still an elder they would probably want him to conduct that night. He did admit there was a lot of stress with it all and he just bucked it up and did the work as none of the other elders would do anything. He told me that once just did not feel well with his heart and asked one of the other elders to conduct the school that night, the elder said it made him nervous and he did not want to do it my husband told me he was thinking well I have just had a heart attack and what do you think I feel.

    Anywho things will work out have to run to a doctor's appointment for my husband now thanks again for all of your kind comments it really means the world to me. I am also trying not to do to much but kind of hard when I have my own cleaning jobs.

    I still want to try to be a Tahoe but will see.

    This board means the world to me and all of you that are on it.
