My sweet, wonderful daughter, age 39, had a heart attack 3 weeks ago. I am still processing it! She is doing well, thank God.
Her diagnosis is MINOCA: miocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries. It's more common in women. The micro arteries are the problem.
She had classic chest pain with weakness in both arms. Of course, being my daughter, she drove herself to the ER.
This post is part PSA and part vent.
How much more can I take? DH has stage 4 renal cancer, complete renal failure, and uses a feeding tube. Surprisingly, his quality of life is good. He has no pain. His mother is close to hospice stage, having been diagnosed with multiple myeloma. She's 89. Add in my own parents and a fucking pandemic and I am breaking here.
I just want my vaccine, but I will be in the last group to get it here. I am not 65 and have no health issues. I haven't seen my grandchildren in almost a year.
Thanks for listening, my friends.

I’m so sorry for everything that you’re going through. That is an awful lot for one person to handle. I hope that you can at least get a vaccine sooner than you expect. Big hugs to you.

Glad your DD is doing well.
Would you qualify as a care giver for the vaccine? Is your DH dependent on you for all his care? What would he do if you got seriously sick/Covid?

I just want to wrap you up in a big, warm, squishy hug....then get to work trying to relieve some of your stress and worry. I can’t imagine how you must feel, and the toll this is all taking on you.
How can we help? Serious question.

That is a boatload to deal with! No wonder you feel strung out. I hope you can get the jab sooner than you think and that will at least be one weight off your mind ((hugs))

Aww...I'm so sorry. That was the last thing you (and her) needed. You already are running at full stress level. I'm glad to hear she's doing alright, but man, that must have been scary for her. I'm so glad she knew what to look for and got herself to the hospital. I already had you in my prayers, but clearly I need to step it up. I'm sending you all my hugs. And please, reach out, if we can help you. At the very least, we can hear you.

That's a lot to deal with -I'm sorry for your troubles.
Maybe you'll be able to get your vaccine sooner than you think, we have a county in my area that is opening up to 60 and over. Not all counties are doing that but a few are. There is also a city nearby that is offering it to drivers 55 and over if they are bringing a Sr. for their vaccine. Keep your ears open - you may find something sooner than you think....

I'm sorry that you have all of this happening in your life. As another asked, is it possible to get your vaccine sooner as you are a care-giver to an elderly person and also to your dh? How old are your grandchildren? Do you live close to them? I will be seeing my gkids this weekend, very physically distanced in a play-field. It is supposed to be a nice day. I have been in quarantine hell since last March. Does your dd have support from her spouse/SO? Big squishy hugs to you.  |

I’m so sorry to hear about all the struggles going on in your life. I’m sure your daughters heart attack was extremely worrisome for you. I’m glad to hear that she got help quickly and is doing well.

I am relieved she is okay and glad she recognized the signs of cardiac blockage and sought emergency care.
There is so much for you to deal with. Hugs.

Holy cats! This is just say too much. I am so sorry.
So pleased your daughter was on top of it and got the care she needed.
I want to sit down with you and a pitcher of cocktails and just yap and giggle and forget the world for a moment before we get you back into your big girl panties and help you move along.

That is so, so much to handle. Will your DH receive the vaccine? Perhaps you can get it at the same time? Hoping for better days for you and yours.
