Ok, This past week has been a little more than stressful. 1 week ago today, Walker's father had a heart attack. At first, he didn't know what was really happening, he just said that his jaw was hurting and so was his back. Walker and I were down stairs watching TV and Walker dozed off for a little while, so it was just Moe and I. All of a sudden, Glenda, Walker's mother, runs downstairs and says that she is taking him to the hospital.
At this point, Walker and I were just thinking that he was just sick or something due to the fact that he hasn't been feeling that well. Well, 30 minutes pass and I call Glenda and they are at Belfonte. Mayo's (Walker's father) blood pressure was something fucking nuts like 228/120. According to the doctors, this was stroke range. Well, Belfonte didn't rule out a heart attack!!!! They just said that they were going to give him a stress test the following morning!!! At this point, Walker is in hysterics b/c we got to the hospital right when the doctor came in said that they didn't know what was going on besides the fact that his heart enzymes were abnormal. HELLO?!?!?! That really shocked the hell out of me. At this point, his blood pressure is brought down and he is complaning about chest discomfort. So, they admit him into belfonte, a few short hours later, I guess it hit them that he had definitely had a heart attack and they had to move him to Kings Daughters b/c it was obvious to some doctor that further procedures was going to take place soon. Belfonte isn't capable of doing Heart Stints, which in the end, is was he had to have done. 4 actually. 95% of his right artery was blocked along with a few damaged spots from plaque buildup over the years. All in all, Walker took 2 days off of work, Mayo was in the hospital for 4 days and luckily I had 3 days off in a row to be with Walker and his family. It was so sad seeing Walker have the realization that his father could have died. I'm so glad that he has a dad that loves him and is such a great person all together.
Everything is ok now. I got up early this morning and went to Easter service with Walker and his mother. Came back, and found out that I didn't have to go to work like I thought that I did was even better. I don't know if James or Jessica has told anyone, but I have been a VEGAN for a little over 2 weeks now. I'm doing it strictly for weight-loss purposes. I have already lost some and I'm so glad. I feel that I have more energy as well! However, I must say, it has been a task due to the fact that i love cheese and meat ssssooooo much! :) Well, I hope to see you all soon! Love you, all!!! ~Leanna |
