I didn’t answer the phone. Four calls I missed. I was at the gym. When I found out what I had missed I cried and cried.
My mom is a really strong and amazing person. She has an incredible tolerance for pain and has always been a hard worker. So today when she decided to tell us that she had been feeling tingling in her chest and arm for three days and wanted to go to the doctor – we were concerned to say the least.
She called me to come get her and take her to the urgent care. My seriously sleep deprived sister with a 3 year old and a 5 week old called me. They called the house, they called the cell. By the time I responded they were already on their way, down the mountain to the er.
Everything with her heart has thankfully checked out completly healthy. She will be following up with her family care doctor to check out some other possible causes.
But I missed their call. The one time they really needed me and I wasn’t there. It breaks my heart.
