Still in Iowa, was at a local watering hole with some Sean, Mark & Bridgeette.
My dad was out of town but I got a panicked cell phone call from my mom around 12:30(am). she sounded scared and said her heart was racing and couldn't breathe.
I literally raced home ( it took 12 minutes ) and we went to the Emergency Room. She was pale, shaking and disoriented.
It soon passed and they hooked her up to machines and did tests for 3 and a half hours.I got to take her home and she seems fine now.
It was very scary. I had a hard time sleeping - I went to her room a few times to listen to make sure she was breathing.
I feel terrible that I live 1500 miles away.
This was a rather eye opening experience. It's easy to function while assuming that life is fine and everyone is healthy, but I now realize that both my parents are 65 and life gets complicated at that age.
anyway, thanks for reading. Heading back to Minneapolis in a few minutes and Flying back to Seattle and my real life Saturday afternoon.
