Perry who-itis?!
The good news is that Perry Who-itis is not a heart attack.
The bad news is that I found this out after thinking I was having a heart attack. It was no fun having OmegaDad call the ambulance, being investigated soundly in the ER, dealing with being poked and prodded and CT’ed and ECG’d and X-rayed and and and.
So I have pericarditis, an inflammation of the lining of the heart. According to all the tests I’ve had, my heart is in super duper shape (I’ll probably end up like my grandma, just tickin’ and tickin’ and tickin’ along).
OmegaDotter has been wonderful, no bouncing, no fussing, a great deal of pretend medical stuff, such as using my sports bra to stand in for a blood pressure cuff. And when OmegaDad picked her up at preschool today, she had a slew of drawings with “I 
mama” all over them, which warms my pericarditic heart.
I’m bored. I’m in pain. I’m constantly nodding off.
Wah.
