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.
