a trip to ER

Last Monday, Mom woke up abut 5AM with chest pain. She notified the OAR on duty nurse and an ambulance was called to have her checked out at the ER. Mom told them to take her to Tacoma General and that her Dr. was who we call "Doc Bee" (our family Dr. for many years). Around noon they told us that they felt that she should stay over night for observation but TG was not a Group Health hospital (Mom's new Insurance) and recommended that she be moved by ambulance to St. Joseph. By about 3PM she was settled in at St. Joseph and had something to eat. The next morning they told us that the chest pain was not heart related but it was due to tender muscle tissue for some reason. Mom did not remember any reason why her muscles would be tender. Anyway, she was able to be released and is back home at OAR and doing well.
