Expensive date
Last Sunday, Dec. 14 Dad was suffering from a back, shoulder, arm pain. This pain had started in some form on Friday and kind of came and went. Sunday afternoon as we laid around it bothered him. Of coure we were both concerned if it was heart pain since you are told back and or shoulder pain that goes down the arm. Soooooo about 6 P.M. during a mild snow dad decided he should go to the hospital to be checked. We were bored anyway from staying home in the threatning bad weather. So we took off. Needless to say we were also a little nervous. We were admitted to the emergency ward. They were very nice and took immediate action. Dad had an electrocardiagram and an x-ray of the heart in which they determined it was not his heart. PTL Since that night we have determined that the angle of his computer and the way he holds his arms was causing the pain. He lowered his key board and may have to have some physical theraphy. We came home that night in a raging blizzard and had to just crawl along. All in all it was an expensive date and we were glad to be safely home. (The medics assured us that we did the right thing as of course we felt a little foolish.)
