HARD HEARTED HANNAH CAN'T HACK IT!

Last Tuesday night, having trouble getting to sleep due to chest discomfort, and having taken nitroglycerin twice in 15 minutes without relief, I recalled the cardiologist's words of concern the day before when he urged me to come in and let them do angioplasty - "I don't want you to get too comfortable with that chest pain."...
