My husband had a bad pain in his back but continued working. Refused to let me take him to the hospital. This went on for a week until he could barely walk,would not eat and looked like death. Finally I got him to emergency. He had a massive heart attack seven days earlier and also had a major infection from diverticulitis which he is on morphine for. Of course his heart was damaged for refusing to do anything. He has blood clots in his heart which he is on medication for . They don’t know the extent of the damage yet . He is not out of the woods yet.
