My mom called today. My stepdad had a heartattack this morning. He's in the hospital, of course. The doctors originally said he has blockage in a main artery & they wanted to go in & clear it (balloon stint?) but that he's not strong enough so they wanted to wait 3 days. About the time I was calling to find a flight, they changed it to tomorrow morning. Apparently his original heart surgeon (he had triple bypass at the beginning of the year) conferred with the new doctors & they decided now was better. He's not going to improve in 3 days. No way I can get there that quick so guess I'll wait it out at home. So please say a prayer for my stepdad, Kenneth.
I'm trying not to let this derail my progress completely. Actually, when I first heard the news, I went to the gym because I was anxious & filled with nervous energy. Since then, been more of a slug & craving carbs/comfort food. I was already feeling sluggish this week, but I'm going to do what I can.
Best wishes everybody

I said a prayer for your stepdad
Hope everything turns out alright and that he has a good recovery. Try your hardest to stay away from the comfort food! Try going for a walk instead or eat some veggies instead of the bad stuff. When you want to eat something try to do something else and get busy with it.
I just said a prayer for Kenneth. Also a prayer for the family. Let us know how he is doing when you can. May God give you special strength during this time. Chargail
I'm sorry to hear such bad news. I just lost my dad in August so I feel for you. I prayed for your step-dad and you and your family. I prayed for your strength through this. Hang in there :) Shawn
