[yossi]

I have many memories of playing trivial pursuit with my dad and siblings. He still has all of his old boxes of questions.

 

[Lorilei]

I'm actually not even old school.

I'm just old.

Feeling incredibly guilty about wanting to take an uber/taxi just for a 2 and a half mile grocery store run.

Yet I can't get past my anxiety today about getting out. Had an appointment with sleep specialist and cried like a complete loser about the bus stop and gave up.

I hate, just absolutely hate that I was starting to be less anxious about going out after the heart attack, but Tuesday early evening, I felt some horrible chest pain, and while my back didn't hurt and right arm didn't feel heavy, it was the same pain I had when I had the heart attack. I was so afraid to call an ambulance and be embarrassed that it was nothing, but when they got here, my blood pressure was 179. First round of blood tests showed nothing, but they wanted to keep me in the ER for a second round, and sure enough, my blood showed elevated cardiac enzymes which meant I did have a second heart attack. Had to stay overnight and put through the ringer of another cath and stress test, just to find out that it's something that can happen shortly after a heart attack like I had. I mean good news is there's nothing wrong, and my stents are fine. It's just that I had another one that has thrown me into a loop of anxiety and depression, and I can't stop being mad at myself for feeling that way.

I just want my calves massaged......

yikes Indie

They did not warn you about it, ahead of time?
I am glad that you are still here.

Thank goodness for smart phones, etc.
You can always call for help, no matter where you are.

 

[juttjaw]

I'm like some kinda Clue ninja..
That and connect four. GET THE FUCK OUT!!

 

[Disgustipated]

Knock that shit off, Indie. We need you around.

anxiety feeds itself. stay ahead of it, and keep active. surround yourself with positive things to keep your mind off things. I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night having a panic attack. no real reason why, but when I do, I put on one of my "go to" movies and the positive feelings begin to overcome the anxiety. stay positive bro.

Does smoking pot help?

Don't feel guilty about taking care of yourself. You were right to call an ambulance.
I know it's a hard thing to do, but you need to do what makes you feel safe.
You just had a second heart attack so taking an uber/taxi is not unreasonable.

Also, some of the anxiety/depression could be from the chemicals the heart attack released that aren't yet evened out. Sometimes it helps if you tell yourself that some of these feelings aren't real, they are just from the chemicals.
I know it sounds weird, but it does help.

Do you have anyone who can go with you to appointments? Maybe just ask for a ride? People don't need to know why?

Are you in cardiac rehab? If not, can you be?

Not sure if Trivial Pursuit is old school. I remember when it came out.

I rule at Trivial Pursuit except in Sports and Leisure and Entertainment. Entered a Trivial Pursuit competition with a buddy who aced the Sports and Leisure category. But he failed to show up until I was going for center.

I missed out on "What body of water does the Euphrates River enter?". Named every other body of water around but damn if I could name the Persian Gulf. That's what you get for smoking pot before playing Trivial Pursuit. Mind gaps!

We had an English Monopoly board. I still don't know the places on the NA board. But as teens we would put the Brit version and the NA together and go around in a figure eight. That way you could get a large group playing.

Risk is good. We would do same with two Risk boards.

Best board game ever is Divine Right by TSR. A cross between Risk and D&D. Takes upwards of 12 hours to play.

Depression is common after a heart attack. Denial of symptoms too.

Exercise is critical to recovery. As long as you don't exceed limits set by docs.

A slow walk there and cab it back. Carrying groceries might be a bit much.

Stress and anxiety can create conditions that can make heart exceed BPM and pressure levels set by docs.

You've had the stents and aside from getting heart back into shape, you should be fine.

The heart is a muscle and needs exercise as much as biceps and quads. If you can pass a stress test you should be fine for a slow 2 mile walk.

Myself had quad bypass 10 years ago, a potential widowmaker one, and a slight one last year.

I bumped it. After a quick review, it shows proof that LadyF was fairly sane less than a decade ago.

 

[Killswitch1]

And PSF still posted.

And semen4whatever was still a dipshit.

Also, even though we weren't board-official and wouldn't be for years, I had met Arte for the first time the previous week.

My good mood wasn't really about the election.

Talk about self-awereness. Wow

You Do realize that you progressive dipshits don't exactly look like the most sane in this asylum,
with your constant trolling and "racists hunting" over all sorts of stupid stuff.
