Sometime Thanksgiving morning, I received an email from one of my brothers. One brother lives on the east coast and the other lives on the west so I wasn't seeing either of them for the holiday so an email wouldn't be unexpected. But this one was. After a short statement about a real estate issue he went on to say:
btw...it would appear that I have had a heart attack. Cath tomorrow to access damage...will advise.
Well, okay then!
After a flurry of emails on my part, I finally spoke to him today. He's good, the heart attack was actually probably a few months ago, but some symptoms showed up that sent him to the ER yesterday. He has had more tests and is working out a treatment plan with a cardiologist and his primary care physician. Does not look like surgery will be indicated, which is good news. He says he is listening to his doctors - I just hope he's better at taking care of himself than he is at informing people!
But then - that's my family!
But then - that's my family!

So glad he's going to follow doctors orders and take care. I think an email like that would give me a heart attack.
