Slowly catching up so I can enjoy the photos. Your Animal Kingdom morning looks great. how nice to just go in, do what you want and head out.
That's exactly what we did and it was great. There really wasn't much I wanted to do, but I knew I had to see AK at least once on this trip.
MEK GREAT EE photos! I felt a little dizzy on the backwards part
how can you snap all those photos on a coaster?
That type of coaster doesn't bother me, but I can't do that on ToT because I am much more uncomfortable on dropping rides. But I've taken pics on EE before, so practice I guess.
Your photo pass picture by EE came out very nice despite sunglare.
Thanks!
No you won't - you gearing up for a Florida trip, aren't you? Lucky girl!
Not so much an aversion but a detail over looked. There are 2 yellow- green crayons in the queue one in the stand by and one in the FP line and they are NOT the same color. I guess it just bothers me.
I just think its remarkable you noticed that. I am so NOT observant and would never have discovered the difference.
I guessed it right then. Rest room stop and even though unlikely, you had to be driving for it to happen, and home by around 11.
Yeah - time for a potty break and a driver change. I was supposed to make it through all of NC but discovered after we pulled out of the parking lot that I only had enough gas for about another 100 miles. oops!
As someone who has had 2 very good friends survive the widow maker ( one with 5 stents) and both as well as myself are CPR instructor trainers, it is easy to dismiss some signs.
When you evaluate the signs objectively they are easy to see. When you put the emotional component to it, not so much.
Thankfully you knew and Denny knew not to. That is certatinly a different way to spend the vacation but so glad everything worked out as well as it did.
So glad they were receptive to a cardiac nurse.... I also hope the ED doc realizes she needs to dig a bit more.
I hope the hospital realizes that they probably need a better cardiac short stay policy in place. Some hospitals have that were they will automatically stress test the patient before letting them leave. It's not a full hospital admission.
Yeah - I hope she was notified of his outcome. It's really important to consider family history. She just looked at him and thought "he looks in good shape" and his EKG and enzymes are negative. She still got a cardiology input, but she needed to emphasize the family history more.
Very Nice Pictures of DHS all lit up.
I think we both got some great shots of the park at night. Glad we did that.
Your dinner looks amazing.
I could go for that fish right now - oh - and that wine.
Apparently Agent P has quite a few fans and the kids love him. I guess I am just an "old fart" who only appreciates the classics.
Nice to cap off a great evening with a late night TSM.
It really was, even though I was practically asleep when we weren't shooting.
Glad Denny is OK. How scary for you guys !! Good thing you insisted on admitting him.
Yep. Those genes will get you every time .....
Family history is such an important risk factor. You can do everything right but you can't change your genes. Thanks so much for your good thoughts!
Post some HHI photos when you get some time.
I actually edited a bunch on the way home. It made the drive go much faster.
Unfortunately, I didn't take nearly as many around the resort as I had hoped because that's when Denny was in the hospital. Once he was released we ventured out a bit, so I tried to catch up. I'll see if I can get them on photobucket before my next update.
Oh my! Nearly complete occlusion! How extremely lucky for Denny that you knew to insist on the stress test which resulted in the cath which resulted in the PTCA. Thank goodness for your intuition! Glad to hear that it turned out well.
It's unfortunate that I had to come off as "anxious" or "pushy" to do the right thing. But it had to be done. I knew darn well we would be right back in that ED as soon as he climbed the stairs again. Ugh!
Thank you - I am glad it turned out well, too. It really could have been worse.
Back to your TR.. great job for your Agent P drawing.. totally looks like him. As for the kids with the balloon hats.. hmmmm... yeah, that would be pretty annoying.
Sounds like you opted for the "green experience" post dinner while Cynthia was up for the "orange, more intense experience" after HBD.
I think that's exactly what happened! Well said!
Oh my goodness!!! That is such a scary ordeal to go through!!! And... I personally do appreciate your story...even if I don't really want to hear it.
See... I grew up with my father having one or more heart attacks a year. He was one of 13 kids... all of whom had issues with their hearts in some way. My dad... he died at age 45.
So you lived through what Denny did. He was 16 when his dad died and he still gets very emotional about it. That's really tough. All of Denny's uncles had heart disease too.
At 30 I was diagnosed with PVC and PACs... nothing major, but experiencing arrhythmia's can be troubling none the less...and I stood up to take note. As you probably realize... I do run. I keep myself at a somewhat normal weight... and I like to think I am keeping myself away from that dangerous set of genes that I am all but certain I have. Now you go an make me think... maybe not?
But... I am female. That makes a difference, right.
I definitely think modifying your other risk factors like weight and cholesterol and high BP and all that stuff helps. It definitely helped Denny, but it just couldn't take away the risk all together.
With woman your risk of cardiac disease is much lower than mens until menopause. After your lose the cardioprotective effects of you female hormones then womens risk will start to catch up to men. So - when you hit your mid to late-50's it would be prudent to have a stress test and just a general awareness of your risk.
So will Denny be able to resume normal activities then? Will this be a problem long term for him? It is so good that he had you there with him.
I am so glad things worked out and you were able to enjoy a couple days after all this stress.
Thank you for the positive thoughts. I am glad it worked out as well as it did. Yes - he should be able to do everything he always did. I think he will feel more relaxed after he sees the cardiologist here next week. He is still just in shock and is worried that the stress of his job was a contributor.
