Congrats Marco!

I'm waiting to see if Canada will win gold in the IIHF tourney this year. (I watched them DESTROY Latvia)

What a weekend start. Yesterday I went to hooters with a friend and then to see "Iron Man" (gotta love a movie that starts with 'Back in Black' and finishes with 'Iron Man'

). I was so energetic after three days of bad sleep I took a whole pill for sleep (I use a quarter usually).

But today when I woke up, mom wasn't feeling well, she thought she was having a heart attack. She was with vertigo, difficulty for breathing, her skin was cold so I have to rush her to the hospital. I spend the whole morning and part of the afternoon sit on a stepladder by her side.
Thanks God, the ECG and her enzime trials came out normally, it seems it was a neuro disorder that affected her. They give her some serum with difenhydramine and she fall asleep, finally around 14:30 she was released. It was a $250 bad joke, but when it comes to health you cannot come cheap.
I came home and has been sleeping since I arrive, the whole tension took me out in the end. Mom's feeling better and I'm listening to Testament.

Life surely have its ways to shake you up by surprise any given moment.

Good to hear your mum is okay Wyvern, the 250 is just a little drop if you can exchange it for some health!! Luckely my company provides an insurance for hospitalisation, so I never have to pay any hospital bills and stuff (came in pretty handy when my daughter had 25.000$ worth of surgery a few years ago ;-)
A few days ago I felt dizzy and went to the doc too. As I expected a bit my blood pressure was high. Blame myselve for it; I really need to get my health on line again. Too much candy and good food, and almost no time to do some sports or so. Got to go back on Tuesday and I expect that I'll have to do some quit heavy changes, meaning I need to work to get my 1980's six-pack belly again :-)
Weather here is superb last weeks, went to a US car meeting today with my Caddy. Even did some burnouts on a traffic light towards the meeting, fun and the people behind us gave us a thumbs up sign, cool !! Will see if I can find some pics tonight and post them here.

edit; here are the pics of the US car meeting:

Exercise is a must be at our age that's why I go to the gym immediately after work on weekdays. I'm not going to get any six packs, not even a twofer, but I keep the old pump ticking alright and the muscles with some tone.

Rolando, glad to hear mom is okay.

Marco Spain · May 11th, 2008, 11:45 AM

Wyvern: Glad to hear it. Me alegro un montón de que sólo haya un susto!!

Carnut: Man, if you live in Belgium you have to practice cycling!! You can do Liege-Bastogne-Liege, Flanders Tour, Amstel Gold Race,... I hope you get well soon

delize · May 11th, 2008, 03:27 PM

I'm glad your Mother is ok Rolando. Scary moments I'm sure. The money is something you will soon forget about. The main thing is you still have your Mother with you.

Carnut, I have the same problem. I have to watch the salt intake. I hope you get everything under control and don't have to take medications.

Wyvern · May 11th, 2008, 05:29 PM

Thanks everybody. She still feels a bit dizzy, but sure it was a scare she felt real bad, puking and the vertigo and the lack of air. I doubted it was a heart problem but nevertheless wasn't a thrill. Tomorrow we're gonna make an appointment with the heart specialist just to be on the safe (side, and I'll have my annual checkup too).

The salt is a no no. Cut down on the sodium, we've done it years ago (because of my father heart condition) and I don't regret it a bit, I'm completely accustomed to eat without salt. Just the natural one the food may bring and some in the water when we cook pasta.
