A Grand Day Out

Mum rang me at lunchtime and said that she’d been to the doctor and had been told to go straight to A&E. She’s been suffering with breathlessness and this morning had pains in her chest which she thought might be indigestion. I picked her up and, after a lot of waiting around, being shunted from one floor to another and numerous tests and scans they confirmed that she almost definitely has had a heart attack. She’s been admitted to the Emergency Assessment Unit where she will stay until they get her into Papworth. I stayed with her until 6pm then came back to pick my dad up who had packed a bag for her. We went back and stayed til the end of visiting hours at 8. She seems in quite good spirits and is definitely in very good hands.
