Just had my visit with my Rehab Doctor pleased with my progress so far, weight, waist size, BMI was 23, blood pressure, Cholesterol and Diabetes are all great which are signs they look out for, but still getting the feeling the two hospitals don't get along

Very good news about your progress! That's great! So, the rehab hospital is not the same as where you had the bybass? What makes you think the two don't get along?

Just the tone of when they talk about the other one Lanie

The rehab is in Ottawa which is closer to us and the hospital that did the surgery is in Kingston which is where we went for my birthday

Well, that's too bad if they don't agree about things. I'm glad your rehab is going well though.

Rehab was going good Lanie, till my last visit which I ended up in ER confused

???? What happened?

Severe chest pain when finishing my walking routine and weakness

And was this because you overdid it? Or rather, the therapist had you overdo it? What did the ER doctor say or do?

I over did it ER doctor really didn't do anything, I think the wife scared her when she question the need for another chest xray and cat scan, cat scan should have been done if they thought it was heart inflammation

Then, take it easy as you go through your rehab? I hope this doesn't happen again. No need to push yourself.

Busy day today first rehab where on the way in we met a bunch of yahoos on the road, then an appointment with the psychologist right after rehab, rushing then to Orleans for an appointment with my Family Doctor who read the report from the psychologist and then said this is what he suspected, finally we get to go home.

My FD also said my problems with what happened at rehab probably had to do with the partially blocked artery in my neck and to continue with what I am doing at rehab because it is the same routine that I would be on if they did anything for it

A partially blocked artery in the neck?  Is this new?  Are you on blood thinners?  How will they handle this?  I'm sorry.  I hope you're doing ok otherwise.

This happened after my initial Heart Attack in 2011 and the cause of my mini stroke, nothing now Lanie, FD thinks I am going threw enough as it is now and just to go on with rehab
