Babe Fussing again

I have always said that whenever I eat chocolate or pasta I feel sleepy. Yesterday Tori made brownies, and when I went upstairs today I cut myself a good size piece and since then I slepted most of the day. Babe kept fussing and waking me up. I feed her but she still fussed. At supper tonight, I mentioned this to my son. He got a funny look on his face and said "Remember when you were having your heart attack and Babe kept fussing? I said yes. He then said that since I now know that I have sugar diabetes, I wasn't sleeping all day. I had passed out. Babe knew that something was wrong and that is why she kept waking me up." Wolf said that animals can sense when their loved ones are ill and do try to help them if we would only listen. I will certainly listen from now on. Twice Babe helped me. Now I have a reason not to put her outside, I need her to keep me well.

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.
