Still waiting on that. Cardiology hasn't been in yet. Super frustrating to not know yet.

That'll come later today most likley. There's a good chance they outsource cardiology. They call one in from there own practice local....close by.

Absolutely no 4WD in auto...tried it every which way. I was stuck until I locked them in.
Brew,

More than likely either the big vacuum seal in the knuckle is junk or the hubs internally are frozen. I have sold more than my fair share due to them not working right

Still no idea what is causing this. Did another EKG in the night that was normal. But she is still having extreme chest pain. The reason they moved us was because the hospital by our home can't do an angiogram.

IHC is who owns this hospital, and they bought some land by home to build a new hospital, but not even close to breaking ground yet... so 80 miles we came. Their 2 main hospitals were full of flu patients, so that's why we're here. This is a very nicely equipped facility though.
Sounds like you are at a better facility.
Good luck.

Ford should of left well enough alone. The gen 10 system much easier to deal with.

Thanks Dj.

Morning, sucks they still have no answers for you yet White.

I tore my shoulder muscle in the back while waiting on surgery, and the pain mimicked a heart attack.
I had to have a whole bunch of heart tests before they would do the shoulder surgery that was already scheduled.

I hope they figure it out, sitting, waiting and wondering sucks.

This is where one might want a 6.5 ft bed and a topper, and maybe a USB &/or cig receptacle.
Hospitals do not often cotton to you "camping," in a tent... (SF possibly excepted. &#128527

When a dealer did my heater core hoses backwards near Placerville after awaiting a Dorman replacement, and one blew after 50 miles, I had no heat and was stuck.in nowhere'sville, I had dry rolls and beer and no sleeping bag on a simple 150 mi trip past Sacramento to an older vet's digs, I ended up sick, and this was a nice summer night. No more traveling light. I can - I hate that time in ten when it flips. And at my age/condition, I need better digs to flop in. "All new hoses, etc," did not over come a deaker's ability to swap hoses.

Honestly though, I had climbed some altitude leaving Sutter's Mill and that may have exacerbated the as-yet undiscovered head gasket. This one eluded testing well, (but no bleed down was done, just a cooling system at 17 psi w no loss.) It took 4 years to show it's ugly... head. Even in an army tent though, with proprietary AC wiring, I found banana plugs fit A-ok. 🤭🤣🤫

I tend towards handy-capable. I don't sleep well in a [hospital] chair. Atop an army semi tractor trailer, ok. But if you cook in a tent in a parking lot, a Sterno stove, being alcohol, shows v lil light. ReBurning CO2 however, can create the well dreaded CO1.

Keep us updated, plz, Ohio... 🙏
Ask ahead about blood donation, IF potentially needed, so we can be prepared to act before the bill ink dries. I think it was $25 a pint back in 2000, just to process a donation. We are your discount coupons.

These guys have their own staff of cardiologists. Great group too.

It really does suck. Looks like we have another night here. Shes done an echo cardiogram and a CT scan we are waiting on results from.

Hospitals are different that's for sure. I think I had 4..at least 3 cardiologists. They rotated where I was at.

Hope they figured it out and she's on the mend.
