Geez Kristen! I'm glad you are okay!
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
No dying by esophagus! Work avoidance really is not *that* important. So glad you're all right, Kristen.

Thanks all for the well wishes. I slept for about 12 hours and now feel totally normal again.
It was suggested that stress could've also played a role in the not-a-heart-attack attack. (Stressed? Who, me?) So I think I need to find some cheap de-stressing activities.
Sounds like they did the full court press with you, so it shows they it took it seriously...
It was weird. Everyone seemed very calm and I was thinking that meant it was probably nothing and they were going to send me home soon. Then the ER doctor came over and, still quite calm, said, "We're very concerned and want to run a million tests and probably admit you for the night."
On the bright side, I've meaning to schedule a physical. Since they ran every test imaginable, including stuff a GP would never do, I can probably put that off for a little while now.

Yikes, Kristen! I'm glad everything turned out okay.

Please to not be collapsing anytime in the near future, Kristen!

They probably find it's not a good idea to freak out their heart attack patients even more. I'm glad it wasn't a heart attack, Kristen, and that you're feeling better!

Good idea, because, y'know? This thread title? Wasn't really meant to be a guide to life or anything...

It's officially over.
The members of the Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW) and Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) today put their final stamp of approval on the deal that ended their 14-week strike, giving writers new rights and protections for work distributed on and created for the Internet and other new media platforms.
An overwhelming majority of the WGA membership voted in favor of ratifying the three-year contract by 93.6 percent of 4,060 votes cast in Los Angeles and New York. The term of the agreement is from February 13, 2008 through May 1, 2011.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Kristen, I'm glad you're ok. I strongly suggest finding a nice yoga DVD that you can do at home. Yoga's done wonders for my stress levels.
