Does this mean you haven't been eating your oatmeal?

I don't think it is very nice of you to rub your swell getaway in our faces. It was bad enough when Rambi bragged on her one day trip to LA. but this is a whole WEEK you are talking about. ps- I missed you anyway

Oh dear, CR, couldn't you have gone to Tahiti like all the other cool people I know? I'm so sorry to hear you haven't been well. My thoughts are with you.....dogging your every move.

What is with this oneupmanship-- I couldn;t enjoy bragging about my trip without your telling us how you had room service AND great drugs? It is late here and my eyes are crossing. Reading your post--which was funnier than it should have been given the subject matter, by the way-- I read the name of the hospital as Suffer Memorial-- which made me blink. I mean, it's nice to be honest about things but really, that's a little too upfront. Then I realized it said Sutter, which I hope means it's run by the wine people. They would certainly know how to entertain. So you are home now? And doing better? And things are ok? I am impressed that you had the aspirin on hand, and thought to take them. That had to be scary as hell. We are all very glad you are here, with attitude intact. Don't do this again.

Well, your sense of humor is obviously in fine fettle. I hope the rest of you is doing as well. Take care of yourself. Karen P.S. The technology is definitely cool. I took a tour of my arteries once, but I used Slow Boat Cruises rather than 9-1-1 Travel. It always amazes me, when I'm in such a situation, how a part of me detaches and watches the process with wide eyed fascination while my body lies limp on some table. Funny how that works.

Hey, buddy, I was led to this post. I won't say by whom. Isn't my discretion laudable? And wise, considering they probably kick me in the (let's not get into THAT!) for doing it? OK. The time my body notified me that a tour of my cardiac arteries was urgently needed, I DROVE to the ER, slacker! (I believe they give a Nobel Prize in Stupidity for that.) None of this 9-1-1 Travel for me! I agree with you about the drugs. They seem to LOVE nitroglycerin patches with MIs. And nitrocglycerin gives me the Headache From Hell. After repeated beggings, pleadings, whining, and crying, they started drugs that that bum begging on the street corner would have KILLED for! You only got one day on the Tres Chic ICU floor? I got TWO! You should complain! It was after the angio, though. You apparently didn't complain enough to get fast service. HINT: Complaining helps keep the good drugs coming too. I agree about the technology. I was so fascinated by all the neat displays while they were doing the angio that I completely forgot I was in imminent danger of immediate death! I did get a ride from 9-1-1 Travel following a stroke. Actually, my wife called. Then I told her not to. She hung up, but this trick won't work with 9-1-1. Call blocking does nothing with these guys. They called back and wanted to know what was going on. She told them I was talking really funny (New Joisey accent?), had to hold on to something to stand up, and my eyes looked really weird. Or weirder than normal, anyway. Also said I looked and acted like I was totally drunk (I may kill her!), but I wasn't. I don't recommend them in that situation. For some weird reason, I don't remember A THING about the cruise to the hospital. Come to think of it (what I can) I don't remember much of that whole day. I don't recommend having a stroke. Close as I can tell, it's a bummer and the drugs suck (I had an allergic reaction to the TPA they commonly use to treat them and itched like h*** for better than a week!). No pain, so no neat narcotics. Try an MI next time.
