had not been feeling too clever due to infection now on the mend. well was up around midnight wasn't sure why then went back to bed and was woken up by the love of my life having a heart attack 2.30 am, didn't muck around and got an ambulance.

what was a surprise blood sugars were very high not sure if this goes hand in hand for people having heart attacks or if it was untreated diabetes.

all day have been very distressed by early events this morning and partner now been prepped ready for angioplasty, all ready 4 stents and am wondering if one of them has collapsed which i am aware can happen in which case they double stent.

well will find out in due course but am on total edge as having any coronary can be dangerous.

the sad thing about all of this is that all our family have passed away so am now sat here on my own, trying to keep occupied but very difficult for the mind to wonder and no one to talk to.

for now take care people on here.
 
So sorry to hear that. Best wishes to both of you. Hope there’s happy news. We’re here for you.
 
Oh no, so sorry to hear about that - thank goodness you were there and able to get an ambulance.
Waiting is horrible. Is there a friend you could call so you have someone to talk to? - or someone you could talk to via Skype or something of that sort?
If not, as Thebearcametoo says, we are here for you, talk to us if it helps.
 
So sorry Mikey, what a horrible thing to happen to you both. I really hope all goes well for your wife. I can’t answer your question on blood sugars going high but perhaps you could ask the drs when the time is right. I’m sorry that you are lonely, it must be hard being on your own. We are only virtual friends but friends nonetheless and ones who do care about each other. Can I suggest you keep posting and put down your feelings as you know that people on the forum will be thinking of you and doing all they can support wise to help. Take care Mikey and I will be thinking of you both. My love to you. Sue xx
 
What a horrible shock for you.
I am sorry to hear what you are both going through right now.
When you are up to it , please let us know how your wife is and how you are .
I hope posting on here helps even if only a little.

Putting it mildly you are under a lot of stress right now and it is bound to upset your BG levels.
Do try to look after yourself , ok.
 
Thinking of you Mikey.

Such a hard time for both of you.
I hope that there is good news soon.
 
Thinking of you mikey.
 
What a terrible way to start the day for you both, but she is lucky you were there and reacted fast and well. I hope she is OK and that you find stuff to keep your mind occupied. Don't neglect yourself either, it can be too easy to do so, but she needs you strong to support her.

Good luck and I am sat here thinking of you both, even though I don't in reality know either of you.
 
Oh @mikeydt1 what a terrible experience for the both of you, I`m sorry I`ve only just picked up on this. I hope everything turns out well, you are both in my thoughts and prayers.xxx
 
Thinking oh you Mikey.
 
Hi Mikey, how is your lady wife doing, I do hope she is improving and getting all the care she needs. How are you managing, don’t forget we are all here and thinking of you. X
 
Also thinking of you and hoping for the best outcome. Please update us when you can. Sending positive wishes.
 
so sorry for replying late and many thanks for the well wishes and messages.

as of still in hospital but was okay as of yesterday.

when you are with someone for such a long time and things like this happen it really does mess with your mind and not having anyone around really does hit home, as others have said people are on here and i appreciate that, thank heavens for the power of the net in times like this.

Hoping for a full and speedy recovery. Hope you have been able to cope OK in the meantime with both the practical and emotional impact of having your loved one being ill.
