Parents exist to make you insane

Mom calls me, very worried. She had a 'severe attack of heart burn and pain going through her chest from front to back.' Should she go to the ER?

Um YES.

Mom - But dad isn't home.

Me - so? get Aunt Mary to take you

Mom - she won't drive that far.

Me - Anna?

Mom - not with learning she has lung cancer today. Sharon's not home either.

Me - Go. TO. The ER

Mom - guess I could call 911.

Me - Go. TO. The ER

Mom - I'll call Dr. Sharpnak. (oh great, i do not like her doc)

Me - Go. TO. The ER

Mom - well turn on your cell phone I'll call you later.

Me - ARGH

She calls back five minutes later.

Mom - I took two prilosec I feel fine.

Me - still go

MOm - but I feel fine. I ate PB&J today that probably did it

Me- yes jelly DOES give me horrendous heart burn but not that stabbing pain. Go to urgent care

Mom - it's over in McMurray somewhere.

Me - SO?

MOm - I'm fine.

Me - you just described the classic symptoms for a heart attack in women.

Mom - I feel fine now.I'll go if I get worse

Me - you could be dead by then

Mom - I was at Grandma's when it happened. She gives me heart burn (no, really if you knew my grandma you'd know how true this was)

Me- yes she gives everyone heartburn Now GO

Mom - i just didn't want you to worry

Me i'm more worried you aren't going

Mom - I'm fine. Bye.

me - .....

so she didn't go to the doctor's

Gee why call me and ask my medical opinion if you don't plan on LISTENING to it. She's fine according to her. Whatever. You'd think with the news we got today she'd be in the mood to listen to reason (her best friend from childhood was diagnosed with early stage lung cancer today and her other best friend from childhood had to go back in for more cauterization of throat vessels (though this friend is doing her best to kill herself) and a third friend of the family had her cancer return. Well today just ranks up there high as a suck-ass day.

As for me went to the eye doctor's today. Good news, no diabetic changes bad news, my vision is getting worse but I'm also getting old so one contact will be for far vision and the other won't be for near but it will stay what it is now because if we move them both to fix my far vision I probably won't be able to read close.

And is it a bad thing when you make the tech yelp when she looks through that refraction machine and sees JUST how bad your eyesight is?
