Sorry about this c/p guys, but just couldn't type it out all over again.....but, here is the update on my man!
**********************************************
Okay we went to the cardiologist earlier todahy with Peter and this time I went with him. For whatever reason/s, he insisted I do not go with him to his earlier appointments, but then after each appointment he said oh I wish you were there to remember half of what he said. I could say something funny here but I'm not in a very funny mood right now but I'll get over it like I get over everything else.
Since two of his sisters suffered strokes within three weeks of one another back in August, the logical step would to be test his carotid, right off the getgo, for goodness sake!!!! DUH. His lungs are clear so that ruled out walking pneumonia.
At one point my dear man made the comment that three of his women were sick in the hospital so his stress factor had to be through the roof. That type of stress would make anyone ill.
Bottom line is the 24th he will have an echo Doppler contrast along with carotid Doppler the very next day on the 25th. He will also undergo a stress test. Now all of this will be done within a two-day span because they finally see the seriousness of his symptoms. No, doctors, it wasn't his back, he was short of breath and while the back could have been a factor, the first line of defense, with a heart patient who has had three heart attacks is to check the heart and carotid artery ! Another DUH.
His cardiologist saw the fire in my eyes and became very attentive and answered each of my questions to my satisfaction.
My anger has surfaced on this post and I apologize for that!
Now I need to get rid of this anger and turn it into something productive like taking care of my man.

is your wifi that strong or are you that close that others could log in?
And here I thought you loved my posts! 
(((HUGS))) to Gracie and DH. Do not apologize. You are entitled to your anger! I'm glad they are acting and doing these tests. If they come back okay, INSIST on a CT scan of chest and abdomen. Lungs may SOUND clear, but that doesn't mean there can't be something brewing there if his other tests are negative. I have a feeling, though, that it will be heart related and CAN be treated. Will keep him in my thoughts and sending loving vibes to you both!!!Sorry about this c/p guys, but just couldn't type it out all over again.....but, here is the update on my man!

Good evening and goodnight Snails. Sleep well, pleasant dreams and a better tomorrow for ALL !!!
I do not know enough about Amazon take-overs to make a comment.
My uneducated guess is that ANY rumbling about a Wegmans buy-out
would be met with a great amount of backlash.
Hi Tibs and Fran, bye all ... time for my one hour of television.
