It's as if they were trying to one-up eachother.

On Monday, my mom was seeing her doctor, who noticed that her heart rate was very high. The doctor sent her to the ER, and it turns out she had a mild heart attack. She is having an angiogram/plasty later today. This is the first time I've ever seen my mom in the hospital. Based on what my family went through with my dad's illness/death last year, it is way too soon for my mom, brother and sister to have to deal with this!

Minutes after my mom called me, my wife called to tell me her mom had fallen, and was taken by ambulance to her local ER. She broke a bone in her arm, and she is still in the hospital in San Diego.

It sucks being a grown-up sometimes!

    Gosh, so sorry to hear all of this is going down, Joe. If it's any consolation, my dad agreed to go for a medical checkup right before he retired (he hadn't gone in years) and they told him he had to have a quadruple heart bypass in the next 2 weeks, and that he had a heart attack a few years ago that he didn't even know about but I guess they can tell from looking at the damaged arteries. He even had to quit smoking cold turkey before they would operate on him.

    Well, that was 10 years ago and he's in better shape than I am at this point :lol::lol:

    I've been told bypass surgery are pretty much routine these days. Obviously surgery is still surgery, but it's not supposed to be the scary thing it used to be.

    Thoughts with you and D xx.
