Today's are you kidding me?? moment

[Guest guest]

So. You all remember back before my mother's hip surgery in January and I told you they were *this* close to canceling her surgery like 5 minutes before it was to start because of some funky blip on the EKG? And then the anesthesiologist decided it was probably ok so they would go ahead with it and told her "you should see a specialist and have it looked into"

??!!

Yeah, that. OK....

So, my mother goes to her regular doctor and they redid the EKG...

You sitting down and ready for this??

She had a f-lipping heart attack in some capacity at some time!

OMG. Are.you.kidding.me??

So. Family history time: uncle (on mother's side) has had a heart attack. My grandfather (on mother's side) died of heart attack. My mother has had some semblance of a heart attack at some time in the past.

Can you say L-O-V-E-L-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y??

-sigh-

I will be calling MY doctor tomorrow and updating him with this little tidbit of knowledge and seeing if he wants me in for any preemptive measures and tests.

Mom said "well Lou knew he had/was having a heart attack" (he probably had OMG chest pains or something)

.... I told her you probably did too, but were in denial! You know "oh, I think I have heart burn, bring me a tums" type thing or other. She just looked at me. I told her my doctor needs to know this. Told her that her sister should be checked too (seriously) - she said we have different dads, I said you have the same mother, you and your brother are close enough of a connection at this point, doesn't have to be grandpa that is the connection.

(right?)

Glad I am in this to win it (getting healthy and taking weight off)
