on sunday night, while we were waiting for my brother in the car in the UWS, avraham complained to me about chest pain and a tingling in his fingers. i asked him if he was having a heart attack. he said that he didn't think so.
we sat there siliently for a minute.
then he asked me if i thought he was having a heart attack. i told him that i didn't know.
we sat there silently again.
he told me that now that i'd put the idea in his head, it actually was concerning him. i asked him if he was stressed out over anything. he said no. we decided that the pain was because he had been holding on to a futon for the entire ride from PA.
on tuesday he told me that he was going to go see doctor. i looked into my insurance coverage for him just to find that it had neve finalized because i had never sent in my marriage license - mostly because i was never told to, but that's s minor issue in this story.
so we spoke to the union rep and sent in a whole bunch of info.
the next morning i get a call from him at work saying the tingling had spread to his neck. i called the union rep, who gave me his info, and off he went to columbia-presbytarian.
he walked in complaining of chest pain and tingling, and they did an EKG - which came back fine.
a muscle got inflamed and pressed on a nerve, accounting for all the symptoms.
i posted a quick note about the EKG, which his mother read. avraham decided to make the entry secure until we could talk to the immediates so no one would panic upon reading it.
and now you know.
