New Year's Eve in the hospital

Yep! My husband had some blood work done and his cardiac enzymes were a little elevated, so he was sent right to the hospital to be admitted on New Year's Eve. He had some "pressure" in his chest, so a cardiac work-up was recommended. The cardiologist comes into the room and sees my Nebraska purse. (We are in a hospital in Wheeling, West Virginia.) He looks at my purse and says, "Hmmm. A Nebraska fan?" I said, "Yes, you're not going to hold that against us, are you?" He kind of laughed and said, "I'm from Penn St. and your Huskers kicked our asses in that Kickoff Classic game that year! But I'll still take good care of your husband!" The good news is....after tests, xrays, heart catheterization, there is no blockage, no evidence of heart attack, and no muscle damage. Apparently there is an "electrical" problem and can be fixed with 1 pill a day! Happy New Year!

 
WOW that's good news!!!! It's a bad way to spend your new years, but at least you got some good news out of it. :thumbs

Thanks for all your good wishes. My husband is fine and back to work. Just another one of the "joys of getting older". The Dr was just great though.....even being a Penn St fan!
