Personal Update: My mom (information sharing)

So, my mom went off to another state yesterday morning for a conference. Later that day, I got a call from MP (Mom's Partner), in which he wanted to let me know that three or four months ago, my mom had a little heart attack.

This is how he started off the conversation. He back-pedaled slightly after a moment, said it wasn't really a heart attack, just intense chest pain for a minute or so (intense to the level that my mom was apparently on her hands and knees crying).

Apparently, this is the reason that my mom has stopped drinking and started working out more.

Hearing all this worries me (of course, it worries me), but I really wish that my mom could have told me. You'd think she'd know, after all this time, that I would much rather know something, even if it's scary.

He said that she told him not to call an ambulance. I told him that if it ever happened again, he had better ignore her and call one anyway. He promised that he would.

I'm not going to get a chance to see her until after Vividcon (she's picking me up from the airport). I don't know what I should say to her, or even if I should say anything at all, given that MP apparently was not supposed to inform me at all. jic has suggested that something like "if anything were wrong, I would want to know, even if you think it might worry me" might do, but I think that she would either a) guess that MP had told me something or b) say that she would of course tell me things and then go on not telling me a damn thing.
