Cowboy here. Sar had a rough night last night. She was feeling good, more like herself all day - for a few days actually - then about 10 last night I caught her rubbing her chest. She finally admitted to a bit of pain, more like a dull ache she said. Spoke to the doc, gave her crushed aspirin, things got better in a matter of minutes.
Had the imp to myself for a change. David went home. Bull was out with friends. Held her till she fell asleep. Even went so far as to let the dogs in the bedroom. I'm gonna hear about that for years to come.
A bit of background here. Sar's used to having the pets around. The 2 companion dogs shadow her every move. When the normal routine is off, they get closer. They need to sniff, check things out, keep a watchful eye. I let the outside dogs in a couple times a day to say hello. They get nervous when they can't see her. The damn cat gets under whatever is covering her or sits at her shoulder, then spits if it thinks we're doing something wrong. I slipped an arm under her neck to raise her up a bit to administer meds. The animal BIT me. Wasn't expecting that, yanked my arm away. This caused the Rott to growl - the dog isn't crazy about my ministrations.
Why do I tolerate this? Because the imp is happiest when her pets are nearby and I'm a patsy when it comes to my wife.
Ok, I thought things got better last night - Sar was asleep. About an hour later she woke, complained of chest pains. Didn't waste time getting to the ER. They kept her till early this morning. Intermittent chest discomfort for a few hours - all the machines were hooked up to monitor vitals. End result is we have 3 days of more tests this week starting tomorrow. We'll be going home at the end of each round of tests - staying in the hospital overnight is too stressful all around.
Will try to post another update at the end of the week. We should have some news by then. Also, many thanks for the good wishes and the notes and cards. We are both appreciative of your friendship.

I'm so sorry you are both having to deal with this. The stress and worry, and the plain aggravation of being down when you're not that type. Thinking of you both...
Cowboy - thank you so very much for taking the time to keep us informed. Let Sar know that if wishes and love were capable of making someone better she'd have been up and about LAST week... we're here for her, and we're here for you, too. Never question that. C'mon, Sar! There's mayhem yet to be made. Hugs, Nay
Cowboy, thank you for the update. Please tell Sar that we are sending her healing and love.
Cats are strange creatures, quite hard to understand, our animals were quite protective of my wife.
Her dog used to growl when her mom went to kiss her and her dad gave her a hug.
Sar, dear girl, get well soon, we miss your mischief.
Warm hugs,
Paul. aka (zealous voyeur)
Thanks for the update. Give Sar my love and my thoughts and prayers are with you both!

love your blog sorry to hear sar is under the weather. hope shes feeling better real soon.
Cowboy,
Please tell Sar that I am doubling my effort to play and torment my sweet husband it her honor until she feels like doing it on her own. I know she would do the same for me if I was under the weather.
I know you both know how much those of us who read here love you. Sar and I are so much alike. Mostly I think in how much we love our husbands. My prayers are for Sar's full speedy recovery and also for you Cowboy. I know Tom would be beside himself in the same situation.
You both have my love!

Oh My Dears....
I thank you Cowboy, for I was un-aware of the situation. I know your worry.
Sar, pleaseeeeeeeeee take care. Listen to what the Doctors are telling you. Listen to the one that touches your soul, for surely hes on edge as anyone can be.
I will be thinking of the both of you, in my prayers as well as sending good vibs on the North/Western winds.
Warm hugs
Valerie
