Friendly visit

My friend Val came for a visit yesterday. It seems that Babe likes people. She had to check out Val's suede shoes and her leather purse. Val left with piggy gobbers on her shoes, but at least nothing is missing from her purse. Babe thinks that everyone has to give her treats and pet her.
Oh what a life.

Piggy in a Blanket

A picture of Babe at her best. The thing she loves doing the most. Sleeping. It looks like her ears are in need of a cleaning.

Saved by a Piggly

Early Tuesday morning, March 1, 2011 my pet piggy was making an awful ruckus around 2:30 p.m. and I thought she wanted something to eat. I got up and fed her, but I felt like I had a heavy weight pressing on my chest. I figured it would go away. I lay back down, but had difficulty breathing. Babe kept fussing and got me up again about 3:00. The pressure was so bad on my chest that I got scared and went upstairs to my mom. She sprayed under my tongue with Nito and I went back downstairs. My son Wolf came down and wanted to call an ambulance. I refused. I got up and got ready for work, but the pressure was still there. I drove to work but still did not feel good. My friend Val, told me that I looked grey. She wanted to drive me to hospital so did Mona. My TM wanted to call a cab, but being stubborn, I said no. I drove myself to the General Hospital.

When they checked my blood pressure it was 199 over something. A little high. I was admitted and they found that the main artery to my heart had closed that is why I was having problems with my breathing. They said that I had suffered a massive heart attack and that I was very fortunate because 2 out of 3 people don't make it. I went Thursday to Hamilton and they put 2 shunts into the artery. Now I find that I also have sugar diabetes, but instead of medication, I am going to control i with Diet and Exercise. I came home yesterday. I have to take it easy for a few weeks and will be off work until April 4.

I have to thank my piggly, because if she had not have kept waking me up, I may have never gotten up like my friend Sharon.
