Dad has an echo cardiogram s'afternoon. Mom is trying to get a chest x-ray, blood panel and doppler scheduled ASAP. I'm hoping we start to get some news going out of phone range on Tuesday. Since the doc didn't admit him I'm just going with the positive thought that this is chronic not acute.

I haven't bought fancy-schmancy ice cream in forever. Is there one to recommend that has chocolate and caramel? Might have to get 2 flavors in case Chunky Monkey just doesn't work tonight. Yeah, I know, hard to imagine but I like to be prepared.

Well, you should get some information on your dad soon, I would think. With what you had described earlier, chronic sounded right. Hope it is not serious.

As a backup I would suggest New York Super Fudge Chunk or Phish Food. But I am one of those who likes "stuff" in my ice cream. DH does not - he likes plain coffee or vanilla with no "stuff". I like the "stuff" best of all. We try not to buy ice cream at all though!
