thank you for all the well-wishing. you guys are the absolute best. J is home now. He had what the cardiologist called class one heart failure. Essentially, parts of his heart were spasming and shutting down, so while his heart should have been pumping at 60 percent, he was only at about 35. They went in and fixed some thinning of the arteries, but at least the parts of the heart that are working are in great condition. He has an atypical heart failure, because most people have clogged arteries, and he doesn't. Right now he's on medication and he's not allowed to have caffiene of any kind.

He's sort of prone to anxiety, so right now he's not doing too well on the relaxing front. He's sort of freaking himself out, so we're thinking he's going to have to get something to handle that. What a mess. Thank god he's out of the hospital, though. And I'm going back to work.

dude, it came out of nowhere. he's in perfect health, goes to the gym, runs, and his heart just... broke. *shakes head* scariest week ever.

I can cook, but I don't like to :) His mom brough over a bunch of food for us.

*blinks* Wow, that's just odd. Did they find out what caused it? Any idea?

*grins* Good thing she took care of you, then.

They're not sure, but his aunt's a trauma nurse, and she said that she's seen it happen before. Just very scary and freaky.

You'd think with all those fancy machines, they could diagnosis quickly. Plus, you know, degrees they paid out the butt for.

I'm guessing they told J something while I was out of the room... he had about five different cardiologists, and I only talked to one.
