Heart Attack..

Well, it has been pretty exciting around my parents house the last couple of weeks. My dad had a heart attack almost two weeks ago. He was out mowing the yard when he starting having chest pains. The only other people home were Hope and my Grandma. My dad wasn't sure if it was just a cracked rib, pulled muscle or what..so being the Pharmacist that he is he decided to home remedy the problem and take some aspirin. The commercial that says "Take two of these and call me in the morning" ...that's my dad. Growing up we only went to the hospital if something was broken or bleeding profusely. Like Chris Rock said: "We rub some Tussin' on it"...

My dad later turns to Hope and told her to call 911 should he pass out...wrong thing to say to a 13 year old! It almost scared her into a heart attack. My dad ended up calling 911 himself, poor Hope managed to keep herself together long enough for the paramedics and my mom to get there.

All this happened while I was getting ready for bed...I was excited that I was actually going to get to be before 9pm - Yahoo!! Just as I turned the light off...the phone rings...and all hell breaks loose. Next thing you know I'm crying hysterically trying to get dressed.

Long story short - all has ended well. My mom has recently discovered more gray hairs. My dad got to stay in the ICU for 4 days and now is a lucky recipient of a stint in his right artery. (He had 100% blockage) Granted a Pharmacist is not a doctor, but I think a Pharmacists' is probably just as bad of a patient as a doctor..my mom hasn't beaten him.....yet..
