I just talked to my mom. About a month ago she was having a heavy feeling in her chest and her arm was hurting. So, she went to the clinic out in King Salmon and they said that she needed to go to Anchorage to have a stress test done. That's where they make you run on the treadmill until you collapse. Well, she did that test on Tuesday and i came back abnormal. So, tomorrow she's got to go have her heart looked at. And she will either A) need medication B) need angioplasty or C) have bipass surgery. So, I suppose that I'm a little worried about it. She says not to worry because she doesn't have a bad feeling about it, but I didn't have a bad feeling when she told me that she told me that she was having pain in her arm. We figured that she had a pinched nerve or something from moving. So, now I'm a little scared. Hopefully all she'll need is medication since they've caught the problem before anything serious happened. But it's really scarey that she's been walking around with a bad heart for a month and during that time she could have had a heart attack or something really bad. Anyways, I have to get back to work.
