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!!!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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?"
I thought so, but the search isn't bringing up anything like that when I search enchiladas or tortillas.
I just searched, too, including the variant of "tortilla" (singular) and "tortillas" (plural), and nothing about the layered dealies. Was it in Bitches?
I found nothing on those searches in Bitches. Fortunately the variant seemed simple, layer of tortilla, layer of chicken goodness, repeat till done, enchilada sauce on top.
Just try that, then? SHould be just like whatever recipe you want to follow but easier, right?
Maybe try searching for lasagna, although that gets spelled multiple ways.
OK, I have gotten as far as putting all the pictures I took while on vacation into one Album so I can inflict a slideshow of that on people who come by my cube for the candy I keep on my desk.
That may be as far as I get, although I have hopes of getting rid of the pictures of, for example, the license plate of the tour bus so we would get back on the right one, etc. and maybe adding comments or something. We'll see.
My mom found out she'd had a heart attack at some point when the doctors were doing blood work. They tied it in to her Phen-phen use a while back. It must have been fairly minor since she had no memory of it. Alternatively, Mom had had terrible back pain and migraines for years, and perhaps the heart attack didn't rate in comparison. Dad also had a heart attack that landed him in the hospital, probably related to his Vioxx use.
Hubby was on Vioxx, but they never tied his heart issues to that. He just wanted the Vioxx back, it actually stopped the pain.
I remember the enchilada conversation, but I don't recall which thread -- sarameg was talking about how in her part of New Mexico, layered is just the normal way of having enchiladas, but everywhere else it gets called an enchilada casserole... if you don't have any luck finding the convo, maybe that would be a reasonably googleable object?
It must have been sarameg -- she'll surely come back around and re-describe.
