A Morning Surprise


We were having a leisurely morning at home. Merrie was unwinding from her hospital stay.

But life brings the unexpected.

She called to me that I needed to call 911. She was having heart-attack symptoms.

The paramedics were here in just a few minutes. Merrie was able to speak with them. They took her off to the hospital.

I went to the ER to wait. The receptionist said she wasn’t in the system yet. Fifteen minutes later, Merrie calls me and says she’s not at Kaiser but at Alvarado.

And she also says she’s feeling much better. What a relief.

A few hours and some tests in the Alvarado emergency room, then a ride to the Kaiser ER.

Then the wait to hear if she needs to be admitted. Again.
