Seal Beach, Ca.
I find myself unexpectedly back in southern california, because my mom is back in the hospital after having had a heart attack and an emergency angioplasty last night. She had been having symptoms for over a week, but attributed them to other causes. WE in the medical field call this denial. When I had talked to her earlier in the week, she was having some trouble breathing, but that is nothing unusual.
I arrived here at about 8 pm after a 7 1/2 hour drive and went right to the hospital. She looks great, actually. She is out of ICU, and expecting to go home in a day or two.
I am dog-tired, and need to go to bed.
