My Mom

This is my Mom taking her blood pressure to monitor it.

This is me and my mom after she got home from hospital

Trip to Maryland or should I say nightmare

I went to my home I grew up at last tuesday March 25, 2008
unexpectedly because my mom suffered two heart attacks. I
was called the monday after Easter by my son Jason and he
told me. I thought he was playing an april fools joke early
on me because my mom just went in two weeks before to have
a physical and they told her she was fine and healthy. You
never know what suprises life gives you. I stayed in the hospital
with her all day and night as soon as I got there. She came through
it pretty good. She is a tough anry old bird. Doesn't like to listen
(does any one really) She had chest pains Easter night and thought it
was indigestion let it go till Monday just like my dad did. Before she
called 911 she put out her big trash cans for the trash man thinking she
was going to fall in grass and die right there because her chest was hurting
her so bad, then she made it inside and got her payroll taken care of so
her employees would get paid. Then she called her brother Elliott and sister
Laurie to tell them what was happening. She didn't want to call my son Jason
or her grand daughter Dawn because she knew they would freak out and they
would. My uncle Elliott and aunt Laurie said they ran every traffic light
and drove so fast they got there quick but my mom Knew she couldn't wait
any longer or she would have been dead. She rode to the hospital by herself
(which makes me feel guilty and sick that I don't live close to her any more)
She was very lucky. They put 2 stents in immediately and said she had a major
heart attack that blocked 99% of her main valve that they were able to open
with the stents. Said she had another heart attack some time in the past because
there was one artery that was blocked and they couldn't get it open but she would
be fine with the main one open if she takes care of herself and stops smoking and
the stress levels in her life and takes care of herself. My father had a heart
attack at 59 and I still miss him greatly so I wanted to be with her to let her
know I love her no matter how far away I am or what ever. She is a good mother
and loves us all.
