The low:
Before leaving this ER room, I shot a photo of where I’d hung out this morning from 7am to 11am after waking with a pain in my chest that scared me.

I’m fine now. No one thinks the pain was heart related, but after calling and canceling a morning workout with Stacy who said I should go to ER and then calling and talking to Keenan (Ray’s retired cardiologist golfing buddy) who said have Ray take you to ER , I decided I better go. Ray drove me the 7 minutes to Eisenhower Hospital’s ER. Ray knew the procedure would take about 4 hours from the last time we’d been there.

This is the second time I’ve gone to this ER since we moved to the desert with concern over heart related pain. I didn’t want to go. I hate going there. I feel like a hypochondriac or the girl who cried wolf. It’s the 4th time I’ve been in the hospital or ER since we moved here. First when I fractured my hip bike riding, next when I had an systemic reaction to a red ant bite, and then the two heart pain related scares.

The pain in my chest went away in the hospital. After eating lunch at home, the pain came back a bit. The ER doctor wants me to have another cardio stress test but he, and I too, think this is gastrointestinal. Maybe my nightly popcorn snack is playing havoc with my intestines or esophagus? Do you think? Wouldn’t that be horrible? Anyway, I am not worried, so I hope you aren’t either. Just reporting my day.

The high:
On the evening news, Brian Williams reported a story about this lady singer and gave the viewers this link to hear what he was referring to. On the news clip I noticed Simon Cowel was involved as it was some British American Idol type show. I raced to my computer to view this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY The judges mouths fell open and remained that way as the woman continued to sing for her audition.

Another video brings tears to my eyes.
