Not only was there the earthquake, but my mom (68) in L.A. had a nasty (as if there's a good) heart attack. Paramedics got to her in time... she had 99% blockage. They've given her a stint and opened up the artery, so her blood's flowing well now. They even plan on releasing her tomarrow. Modern medicine is amazing. It was really scary there for a while. Just thought I'd share...
