An Update

First of all, thank you to those who commented or emailed in regards to my mother. It’s appreciated. She may be coming home today. They’re optomistic. We’ll see.

As for me. Well, I had my doctor’s appointment today. My symptoms are weird and fall into a gray area. I have some but not all of the symptoms of angina. [Side note: is it pronounced ang-eye-na or an-gin-a?] Enough that it warranted an EKG this morning. And the EKG results were in a gray area too. Not “great – no problems” – more of a hmmmmm reaction from my doctor. So, I’m going to be having a chest xray and fast blood tests. In addition, he’s decided to treat both possibilities. Real chest pain? Nitro. Maybe just really severe heartburn/reflux? Omeprazole to suppress stomach acid. We’ll see what happens and I go in again next week.

I called my boss when I was waiting for my prescriptions (mom usually does those kinds of errands for me, and well – that can’t happen). I wanted her to know that I was going to be a little later than anticipated, and what was going on, and she told me to stay home. And she knows me too well. “And do NOT feel guilty!”

I’m kind of tired of the curveballs, you know?
