    Uncle Murphy

    Get a phone call last night from my stepfather...my mom was transported to the hospital with extremely difficult breathing.
    She is in Tucson, I was in Indianapolis. A whole bunch of tests later...and quite a bit of.Lasix...she is getting a pacemaker tomorrow. I sure wish I was there instead of here in 3-land at the moment....

    Sucks to be far away from your family when you're needed.
    Good to see she is helped so fast, another ham here got his pacemaker a few years back and it really made the difference.

    I'll keep my fingers crossed for her.

    Take care now.

    Add me to the list, got mine last month and now I can walk more than 50' before "hitting the wall".

    Damn! I'm with Cor. It does suck when you're far away and feeling helpless as someone close to you is in trouble. I think it is worse when it is your mother. You have my very best wishes for a swift and successful return from hospital for your mom.
