Well, remember that I'm getting the story 2nd hand from my SIL, but this is what she told me...
Apparently, my ex-MIL (Rosa) was feeling pretty bad last night. It's no secret she's a big drinker and has been for years, so when she spent the whole night sick as a dog - she figured (as we all would) that she drank too much again.
Well, this morning she was feeling worse than ever and so she called 911. While she was waiting for them to show up, she called her daughter who stayed on the line with her until the ambulance got there.
The EMT told my SIL that they would evaluate her and decide whether or not she needed a hospital.
When my SIL called back 10 minutes later, there was no answer - so she called a few hospitals until she located her mom.
When she got to the hospital, the doctor informed her that her mom was being admitted immediately because her heart was failing. He told her about the heart rate and the last I heard, Rosa is awake and mad as hell that they've admitted her.
She still looks and feels terrible though, so she's scared to death she's going to die. She's a wonderful lady, evven though we've had our disagreements. I hope she recovers and gets home soon.
I'm thinking cholesterol is better than diabetes if you gots to take your choice; easier to lay off the freedom fries than to poke yourself twice a day, etc.
Mini-dramas? Well, we tried to re-write The Brothers Karamazov as a campfire skit, but that didn't work out.
Check 2J's chicken stories :)
Thanks, you two.
It's just been so crazy lately.
I can't wait for things to settle down again. All of the different mini-dramas had me feeling so "blech" that I had made an appointment to see a doctor this Thursday even ~before~ I heard about Rosa.
The cherries are gone.
Well, she sounds like a spunky person, anyways! I hope she gets to feeling better!
Bing!
Day sucked.
I'm tired.
I think Corin's had enough of my chicken stories to last him a lifetime...
Sounds like she'll be fine.... ;~D I sure hope and pray that's so.
Whatsa matter, Bear?
Series;y, have a beverage and a comedy, eh?
Yup, she is.
She's prolly upset because she can't have a beer! LOL!
(((Bear)))
Seems to be the sort of thing going 'round today.
Looking forward to the Chicken Little movie coming out :) and the Wallace and Gromit movie :))
Is there a new Wallace and Gromit? My jedis LOVE W and G.
Me too, chica.
She's pretty cool for an ex-MIL. Never held the break-up against me or my girls.
So did mine. So did a lot of ours. I think it's an evil conspiracy. Or maybe it's Monday.
Wanna vent?
Anyway... have to get something to eat before bed, I guess.
