had convinced herself she was having a heart attack though she had no chest pain coming form there.

I have seen articles (no references but easily searchable) that women’s heart attack symptoms are different than men’s and can be quite subtle. It is important to err on the side of caution.

the average longevity of a person with my condition is ten years.

As an engineer you know what ‘average’ means. If someone (else) dies tomorrow and another lives for 20 years the average is 10 years. All you can do is live the remaining life that God gives you and be thankful for it.

Go in peace,

I am feeling internally a little on the depressed side this morning as I pondered Miz Micro's much ado about nothing even though she was not feeling well and had convinced herself she was having a heart attack though she had no chest pain coming form there.

As her lifetime husband and mate, I could only go along with her and err on the side of uber caution.
The ER Doc was kind but found nothing.. He ran every test he could and came up empty..

Every reputable medical institute I have looked at trying to gather information for my heart condition says that the average longevity of a person with my condition is ten years.

I have pondered this for weeks now and it is starting to bother me.. There are multiple ways to look at it but the end result will always be the same.

My grandsons in Virginia will not be out of high school..
Well, the youngest won't and the oldest will hopefully be in college somewhere. His parents are both Genius level IQ's so I hope some of that was passed to the boys.

I am having real conflated emotions and thoughts over this for some reason and I need to get a better perspective or I will wind up in a state of depression..

So I am working on it. Every Christmas and birthday will be special from here on out for sure...

Taking miz micro to store to support local economy some more..

Catch y'all later.
