Just when you think you can breathe again .... well, you just can't.

Ron had bad chest pains at work yesterday morning. They got the ESO's, who carted him up from underground to the onsite Medical Centre at the mine, then into the hospital in town. We all got ready quickly and packed a bag for Ron as he was being flown out by Royal Flying Doctor's Service to an Adelaide hospital. He's had lots of blood tests taken and he will be having a stress test today to check his heart. They actually don't think it is cardiac as the ECG's have been fine but they are making sure. They think it could be an infection in his ribs or something. The kids were mucking around when I was talking to him, so I couldn't hear properly.

On Monday, it was exactly one year since he had acute pancreatitis. Now this, I can't believe the timing. Gosh financially, I'm just getting us back on our feet.

I just hope they find out what the problem is and are able to fix it. We want him home. I'm so worried. I just feel like screaming. I'd love to just hide under the doona for a couple of days.
