elfsOmaha is in the hospital again. She awoke this morning around 3am with chest pain, and after a quick call to the charge nurse the response was "Get your ass to the hospital now." So we got.
The EKG was completely normal. The same night doc as the one we encountered when Omaha's kidney stones started, Dr. Patrick, was in charge and he first said, "Weren't you in here recently?" He then said that he didn't think it was anything, but he was glad we came in anyway.
Nurses and orderlies came and drew blood, took x-rays, and wired up the walking EKG unit. Many comments were made about how Omaha and I were busily tweeting our morning. One orderly made a comment about how he hoped Omaha's problem was just something left over from the nasty head and chestcold that's been going around. Omaha had it last week, and Kouryou-chan still has it.
An hour later he came back and said, "Well, surprise, surprise, you're showing an elevated level on an enzyme that shows up only when heart muscle is damaged. It's not in the danger zone, but it's not normal either. So we're admitting you and I'm calling a cardiologist."
Okay, now I'm freaked out.
An hour after that, I went home, leaving Omaha in the care of the ER staff. SixfreakinAM and everyone is awake. I got Storm out the door, almost burned the house down making breakfast. Kouryou-chan still has her cough, so she's staying home.
I'm at my computer. I'm pretending to work. I don't have the brain.
