Me too.

I talked to her last night and she seemed fine. Wasn't thrilled about being in the hospital and having to go through all this again, but even she admitted that it's a good thing that she went in and didn't ignore the signs like she did the first time. She seemed bored after having to spend all day in bed so I told her to tell the nurses she wanted some slippers so she could at least go for a walk down the hall or something. I sent her some Easter Lillies to brighten up the room a bit. We talked for about 30 minutes or so, then she had to go because my dad and brother showed up. At least she didn't have to sit there all evening bored out of her mind...she's not much of a TV watcher. It's just really hard because I couldn't be there.

So she's having tests done today. Everytime the phone rings and the caller ID says "cellular call" I dread picking up the phone, expecting the worst. I know this is all just routine stuff for the hospital and doctors. They see so many heart patients it's not even funny, but it's different when it's your mother's life on the line. She said that they mentioned something about angioplasty...she's still expecting to be released by about noon today....I told her to keep me updated but if I don't hear anything by the time I'm back from lunch I'll be calling them.

She said it was the spa weekend that was her incentive to go in because she didn't want anything really serious to happen there. I say I don't care what the incentive was, as long as she admitted there's a problem and took herself in! Last time she waited too long and almost died because of it....hmmm....maybe that was incentive enough.

So, no real information yet, but I'll let you know when I hear something. Thanks to all of you for your thoughts, prayers and support. Kim (Catnapper), I do believe in Easter miracles and that very thought crossed my mind. Lori (Jazzcat) after this all sunk in yesterday I immediately thought of you and how you went through this very same thing with your mother.
