Yikes, Nora and Tom! I'm glad you got him to the hospital so it could get diagnosed and treated. Glad it's not a heart attack or collapsed lung.
But Hubby has single handedly raised the survival rate for heart attacks in our county. It's not necessarily the utterly catastrophic thing it could be.
My dad will kick in his FIVE heart attacks, just to raise the survival rate higher.
In re: Hubby's heart, he had a recent cardiologist appointment, and his report on that to me is "I am definitely a middle-aged white man. I ain't got rhythm." They started backimg down some of his drugs a few months ago, and now he's got mad syncopation going on. If putting him back on the drugs doesn't work, it's another visit with Wong, the Buddhist Avatar of Electrocardiology. We are so fucking lucky to have such top-flight people in our rinky-dink little community.
edit: And, of course, yay for no heart issues!
Glad it's "just" broken ribs for Tom and not something more dire!
Scrappy, ~ma for your mom's lungs. Hope it's "just" an infection.
Man, the things we end up hoping for. Talk about the lesser of evils.
Pet rodents, cute. Not-pet rodents, ultra eww.
Scrappy, what a rollercoaster! I hope your mom's GP is right!
I missed you, bitches. :)
Whew, I thought work had finally blocked you guys.
I'll take Weird Infections for a hundred, Alex!
Yay, bitches!
I had no place to moan about my truck being rear-ended as I was on the way to pick up my chemo pills. If there was prison involved, it's enough misery for a country song.
I think God has made another bar bet with Satan.
I stopped at a yellow light, something that few Atlantans do, and the guy behind me hit me. His car was a mess. The truck looked like there was nothing wrong, until the guy who hit me said, "That tailgate looks funny." I opened it and it fell off the truck. He was nice, and there was no question of fault. I felt bad for him, because they'll probably total out his car.
Also, my county charges $11 to get a copy of a police report. Does that seem right to you?
And much healing for Tom (catching up from FB).
