      hi, hang in there

    • Hug

      From Spring123 May 9

      Doing okay-went to a new primary care dr today & told about chest pains i'm having on occassion-just a chest pain, nothing else. Of course they couldn't figure out where the problem is so they say probably anxiety. Only thing is it's like an electrical shock & doesn't happen during stress. I hope that's the case & i don't end up dead like my dad=that was my whole reason for checking into it further is to prevent the same from happening to me. I'm not big on death at all since my dad died. I also don't want anyone to see me dead-that's a terribly traumatic event & one i can't stand to bear again. Gotta go-upset today things didn't go well.
