But, yeah, I mean, today's been a heck of a day. You know, my mom had to go to the hospital. Turns out she had a heart attack.
00:07
So they kept her there last night, kept her there today,
00:12
and don't know if she's getting released tomorrow or what the deal is.
00:18
She may have to have a stent. She's on blood thinners, yeah,
00:22
so I have no idea what's going on there.
00:27
I mean, thank God they found the problem and they took care of it right away.
00:31
What hospital is she had?
00:37
She's up at Kenmore Mercy.
00:43
You know,
00:44
I hadn't heard all day what was going on. So I called the hospital,
00:50
rang her room, and she answered.
00:54
And I said,
00:56
you know,
00:57
mom, write my cell number down if you don't have it with you.
01:00
Well, it's in my purse, but your dad took my purse home. I said, okay,
01:05
have dad write this down.
01:07
She didn't want to do that.
01:09
She's like, I don't need any more pressure right now. Like, what are you talking about?
01:14
You know, so I called back the hospital and got the nurse's station said, look.
01:19
My parents are elderly. I want to be put on the contact list. So my mom had me actually listed to my surprise as their first point of contact before even my dad. So...
01:33
Well, I don't think you put his dent in today then.
01:38
This is what I'm saying.
01:45
No,
01:46
no. I guess at this point they're evaluating whether one will be needed.
01:52
So,
01:53
you know, they've got her on blood thinners. I don't know if they want to be careful to make sure she's not clotting or whatever.
02:00
I guess it's just a wait-and-see thing.
02:05
Well, I mean, I'm glad that she's okay, you know, and I caught it, you know.
02:11
But, yeah, I mean, I've been through it, so I know what it's like.
02:15
Not a fun time.
02:22
Well, my mom's fortunate because I think this is her first hospital station. She gave birth to me.
02:30
So, I mean, she's 86 now.
02:34
Well,
02:36
like I say, you know, she's had a tent put in at one time,
02:40
and I know they do that.
02:42
Is Getsvascular ECMC or Mercy?
02:50
I just say, I might have to take her to Mercy Hospital on Monday, we don't know yet.
03:01
Well, it depends on my release her and have you take her or if they want to transport there by an ambulance or something.
03:07
They haven't done depends on how stable she is.
03:15
I mean, to me that would seem to make the most sense, but what do I know?
03:21
Yeah, well, I just say, you know,
03:24
and your dad can defend her right for himself?
03:31
Yeah,
03:32
you know, he has no idea where he's going for South Buffalo, but, you know, he's getting back and forth, the hospital and such.
03:40
The man is eating and all that stuff.
03:48
Yeah, yeah, I guess he went to the cafeteria for lunch, and she had, you know, dinner there, of course, and he got some dinner, and, you know, they ate together in the room, so, yeah, he's fine.
