Just Another Statistic

Friday, December 19th, shortly after lunch...I started having severe chest pain, radiating down my left arm, and up into my jaw.

Thanks for the invite! And yes, we're practically neighbors :) Actually, I work with a gal from Denver City. Her husband also works for the city and, if I'm not mistaken, was a volunteer EMT when they lived in Texas! It's a small world, isn't it?
