DD- good point on maiden names...

My mom is supposed to have a heart catheterization in about an hour. I know they are pretty routine, but I'm a bit worried and out of sorts today anyway. My parents are fairly young (heck, I'm only 34!) and the went to the doc yesterday because she's been feeling a little tired/short of breath the previous 4 days while she was running. (She usually runs an hour [or more] a day with my dad, watches her diet, never smoked, doesn't drink- BUT my grandfather {her dad} had heart problems and my aunt {her younger sister} died of a heart attack a year or two ago). Regular doc sent her to a cardiologist, he admitted her yesterday afternoon. Hopefully everything will be OK...

Good lunck to your mom! Don't worry, it sounds like she is getting good care and if there is anything wrong, they will be able to fix it before there is a major problem. She's way ahead of the game just getting hersefl in at the first sign of a problem.

Sometimes getting family to go to the doctor at all when they think there may be a problem is the hardest step! I actually had someone tell me at lunch yesterday that she doesn't go for annual exams because she doesn't want to be told that there is anything wrong.

Inkmahm- I am sure everything will be fine and I shall say a prayer.

I can always use the prayers... but I think it is DVCGeek who needs them with his mom at the hospital today.

Oh my. Your mom is in my prayers. Let us know when everything is all right.

I am a former upstater. But wait, isn't upstate anywhere north of NYC

Just kidding. I was born in Rochester and family was from Fulton.

Brain fart, I knew that. Prayers to DVCgeek......

 

[DVCGeek]

Thanks for the prayers! Just talked to my dad and my mom is done with the heart cath. They found 10 - 20% plaque blockage, but don't think that could have caused her breathing issues. She's spending tonight night in the hospital again with a CAT scan tomorrow to look for a pulmonary embolism. We'll see what comes up next! It not being a heart problem is probably good at least...

I hope everything comes out okay!

DVCGeek, sounds good to me! I'm not a medical person but it sounds good that they've ruled out a heart problem. Best wishes for continued good news tomorrow.

I read your note about your mom a bit late - I'm glad the blockage wasn't bad and they're still looking into it. Do they think her breathing problems be something viral?

DVCGeek.....I've got thoughts and prayers going out to your mom and your whole family. Hoping for no major concerns. Keep us posted.

Winging up some prayers now... keep us posted.

DVCGeek- Just now catching up on yesterday. So glad it is turning out well for her with a good heart check up and prayers they locate and fix the problem quickly.

 

[KeepSwimmingDory]

Sorry for the double post. I didn't have my pictures ready earlier.

I found Nemo on my recent trip:

And here was my view after camping when we had 1 night at BLT.

 

[Granny]

Dory...I think I could handle gazing out at WL and EPCOT in the distance.

DVCGeek....I'm getting here late but am offering up prayers as well. Best wishes for a great outcometo the CAT scan.

Sorry to be off topic (again!) but it was a great view! In addition to enjoying the view of WL and the lake we could see several icons out in the distance like the new balloon at DTD, Spaceship Earth at Epcot, and Tree of Life and Everest from AK to name several I remember.

Also had a view of the monorail and Contemporary with GF in the background.

I liked the pattern of the new landscaping below us too.

 

[wildernessDad]

DVCGeek, I hope that your mom has a speedy recovery.

That view from BLT is pretty neat. Maybe it's worth a stay there someday.

We did MK view at BLT for one night after our cruise in December. It was very nice! Loved the one bedroom, but not the points splurge for a Saturday night to stay there.

We'll be back to BLT at the end of April after our next cruise. This time I booked a studio with Lake view so I'm hoping for one of the great views that I've seen pictures of. Not sure if we'll love the studio as much as we loved the one bedroom but we'll see.

Today in WI it is a beautiful 84! Back to reality and the 50's tomorrow. But for today, it is like being in Florida.

 

[DVCGeek]

Thanks everyone- talked to my mom a few hours ago and she was supposed to be released. CAT scan didn't show anything and all the tests are back to normal. So while it would be nice to know what originally happened, since it only happened during exercise and then cleared up quickly we will accept that she seems OK now!
