All that went out the window.
My wife woke up at 3am and wasn't feeling well, but not bad enough to cancel the trip. We actually left the house at 4:18am, but as we drove north she was getting worse. I finally stopped about 40 miles from home and turned around.
She was nauseous, had chest pain and radiating pain to left arm and jaw. Classic heart symptoms. We were home for just a few minutes and I decided we had to go to emergency.
When you show up at emergency and tell them you have chest pains you become number one with a bullet. It's like knowing the maitre d' at a fine restaurant - you get the best table in the place and right now.
It's now been over six hours since we went in. The symptoms have subsided but they're not really sure what's going on. The heart tests so far are all negative for heart attack. They're going to check some other options and will probably keep her overnight for continued tests and observation. My daughter will have to celebrate her 21st birthday without us.
Of course, my wife spent my daughter's birthday 21 years ago in the hospital, so I guess this isn't the first time.
Prayers are appreciated.

Prayers out for your wife, Rick. Looks like she is in good hands while being observed.
Am praying for Mrs. Holycoast, Rick. Hoping that you both stay strong.
Tomorrow blood tests will tell more about the nature of your wife's condition. I will be offering my prayers in the meantime...can't let anything this important go without all out effort.
Negative for cardiac is good news.
Otherwise the pickins are sort of slim.
Be well!
Prayers winging their way to Mrs. HC.
Prayers for your wife, your kids and you Rick.
Your wife, you and your family are in our prayers at this time. We expect to hear good news.
