No More Craziness From You All

As some of you may already know, my family has not had a dull moment this year.  Fourth of July was no different, only this time, I was NOT the cause of the craziness.  Unbelievable right?  Yeah, I agree.

Mom was brought to the hospital in the morning of the fourth which I didn't find out about until I got out of work.  Obviously I cried, I have become a complete wreck this year which I'm not a fan of but I think I was justified when I started to cry after hearing about my mother in the hospital.  

That morning, she was experiencing chest pains and was told by her coworkers that she was going to the hospital.  If I know my mother, she didn't want to go and was thinking she could just go home, but they went to the hospital.  She was put into a special part of the ER for chest pain patients and when I got there, she was already going stir crazy saying how she didn't want to stay overnight.  While I completely understood her feelings, I was happy to repeat what she told me all those weeks ago during my week long hospital stay that the doctor's knew what was best for her.  Dad and Mom both got a chuckle out of it but nobody found the irony more then me.

Anyway, yesterday Chris and I went to visit Mom after her stress test and I believe an MRI but I can't promise that one.  She was saying how she had no sense of time and just couldn't wait to go home.  It sounded so freaking familiar.  Anyway, she eventually got to go home last night which she was pumped about and I couldn't be happier about as well.  Today she spent the whole day resting and while I know that is not what she really enjoys, the idea that stress can be a huge influence on the chest pain means that she needs to start relaxing more (COUGHCOUGH HOPE YOU ARE READING THIS COUGH).

Anyway, one bright spot in the whole thing was trying the food carts outside of Yale.  Let me just tellllll you, it's something you have to try.  When Chris said they had everything, he was not joking there really is everything out there.  And it is inexpensive and yummy.  Plus there is this really cute little area that you can sit outside on the benches and just people watch.  Which is obviously what I loved to do.  I seriously would love to just try each and every one of the carts but that would take a while to try them all.  Maybe someday.

Well that has been my eventful couple of days and it involved the hospital but not having to go into them for me. Yay!  Let's cross our fingers that mom continues to get better
