After Church on Sunday I decided to scrape some snow off my back sidewalk. It wasn’t a big job but in short order I felt a menacing pain in my chest. I came inside having finished what I’d planned and watched a little PBS on the tube. When we’d finished watching I decided to do a little more shoveling on my driveway. That brought the pain back even more convincingly. I came in and told Claudia who has a blood pressure cuff and she strapped it on. I had 175 over 90. Claudia drove me to St. Luke’s Emergency.
This will probably be my next column at the end of next week. PS. I spent a lot of time practicing my French at the hospital over the weekend.
