although he did walk around with chest pains and pain in his left arm for a FEW WEEKS recently. Didn't mention that to me until after his stent when he was talking about how much better he felt.
We have the same Dad, apparently. Or they got the same handbook.
Yup yup yup.
Like my dad telling totally offhandedly that he'd had *another* stroke. Another??
ETA: Although the classic was this summer when my sister and I learned that he had been RUN OVER BY HIS OWN TRUCK a few days earlier, as an aside in a story about how he had renewed the AAA membership.
they got the same handbook
"Health Guidelines for Stoic Guys, or, What to do when Duct Tape Won't Stop the Bleeding."
Followed up by: "Why are These People Yelling at Me, or, Random Strangers Are Calling an Ambulance, How Can I get Out of Going to the Hospital?"
I am thinking about enchiladas again this weekend, but I'd like to try the variant where you lay out the tortillas in layers with the filling in between. However, I can't find where that was talked about. Can someone remind me?

That is impressive.
Yeah, he totally wins.

Was that in this thread?
I thought so, but the search isn't bringing up anything like that when I search enchiladas or tortillas.
He also had the ambulance drop him off at home, natch.
I am inclined to say: DADS! Except, it was my grandmother who would skip telling people about strokes and, when she broke her arm, opened the conversation with my mother with, "Are you busy?" Well, she was actually busy, but
not too busy to take her mother to the hospital with a broken arm!!!
This is all reminding me of my nonogenarian cousin who found out he was diabetic after "feeling bad" and driving himself to the hospital, where his blood glucose count tested in the 1100s. The doctor threw a hissyfit when his sister asked "Is that bad?"
