Oh, I am glad you are okay!! 🍀 Thanks! I keep saying this whenever it comes up, but women often present heart issues differently to men, as well as not being taken as seriously when they DO seek help. I was sick for several days before I got help and even then I was brushed off twice. In fact, I was sat in the discharge waiting area in the hospital feeling embarrassed that I'd wasted everyone's time when a doctor came racing in to stuff me in a wheelchair and take me away to wait for a bed on a ward because they'd got the blood tests back and found that I had all the tell-tale markers for a heart attack. Trust your instincts and keep pushing if you think there's something wrong but nobody is listening. It's better to make a fuss over nothing than to be fobbed off when it's really something. Omg kitty thank goodness you're OK!! My friend had a heart attack, and now is very vocal telling all of us her symptoms so we know what to look for. Her experience was violent vomiting, extreme jaw pain up by her ear area and then losing consciousness. By the time the ambulance had arrived, she was conscious again, so the EMTs, not recognizing that women's symptoms are different than men's, had her WALK out to the ambulance and get in. At the hospital she was diagnosed with a STEMI and had several stents placed. So it's good to let everyone know who is a woman, or even just knows women lol, what to look for. |

I'm seeing articles that they will be having her memorial at Graceland, which seems kinda money-grubbing and tacky to me.

^^ makes sense since she’ll be buried there. Unless they’re gonna charge admission. 🧐

Lisa only lived at Graceland until shortly after her 4th birthday, Feb. 1, 1972. That's when Priscilla and she moved to California. So that was half a century ago last February. October 9, 2023 will be the half century mark of the divorce, but I'm guessing that's one fact in Elvis history that Priscilla won't be promoting. |

My mom had heartburn and a stomach ache. She was at Walgreens buying milk of magnesia when she collapsed. Heart attack. My dad had what he thought was indigestion while at work. He has situs inversus and his stomach is upside down leading to chronic GERD at the time. He twice previously went to the ER thinking he was having a MI due to that specific symptom and family history- his mother had several MIs and always had indigestion in the lead up. Both times, he was diagnosed with GERD due to the stomach orientation. A coworker that had cardiac issues insisted he go to the ER. Thank God he listened, he was in triage when he flatlined at 44 years old BEFORE being able to tell them he has SI- nor did he carry/wear anything that identfied it at the time. If he were anywhere else, he'd be gone because AEDs in workplaces, etc. were not a thing yet. He had zero classic symptoms of a cardiac incident pending/happening. The vitirol.  Graceland is basically a private family cemetery at this stage of the game. I'm sure you are very much aware of that. And it was started because there was a plot to steal Elivs' coffin from beside his mother in a local cemetery. Sure you're aware of that as well, along with the fact the Meditation Garde, where they all rest is only open to the public one hour per day so not like it's free acess, willy nilly. Buried there: Elvis Gladys (his mother) Vernon (his father) Minnie Mae (paternal grandmother) Benjamin (Lisa's son) I see ZERO reason why she wouldn't want to buried amongst her kin regardless of whether or not she hadn't lived there in 50 years. |

I believe her son is buried there as well. Yep, everybody but Elvis' twin, Jesse Garon. He was buried in an unmarked grave back in Tupelo, since they were too poor for a funeral. But there's a plaque for him there, too. Elvis was originally buried next to his mom at the Forest Hill Cemetery in Memphis, but they tried to open his grave, so Vernon applied for and received a zoning permit to bury both mother and son on the Graceland grounds. |

Yeah, I'm very well aware who of the family are buried there. And my comment was not that she did not want or should not be buried there because she barely lived there (Benji did not live there ever), but a reply to greyfang's post that the public memorial at Graceland, seemed kinda money-grubbing and tacky. And finally: truth is not vitriol, just mentioning a fact. |

You have a very personal investment, imo, for people that are utter strangers to you. A public memorial at Graceland is no different than a public wake/funeral mass (depending on faith traditions) for any given person. Should people not be invited to pay respects to Lisa Marie in a public way simply because she is LMP and it's at Graceland? |

i mean, it's elvis and his family. tacky is pretty much de rigueur, no? and given the financial situation, money-grubbing should be on their minds. if priscilla is put in charge of managing the twins' portion of the money, it might be a good thing since she's the one who took over when elvis died and made his daughter's 5 million into 100 million. they should have left her in charge aven after lisa marie came of age, since she clearly couldn't handle her money and priscilla seems to have a knack for it. does this mean i'm part of the beaulieu cult now, too?  |

You have a lot of sympathy for someone who's an utter stranger to you. Never mind, carry on. I can honestly say, I have ZERO investment in this family. I grew up listening to Elvis with my grandparents. I read a few biographies about him. Basically, that's the extent. Oh, and my mom watched Dallas so I remember PP from that. My only sympathy lies for LMP, she lost her dad very young and was pulled into a cult by her mother. She had her own laundry list of issues because of both. I don't have any real opinion other than, Colonel Parker was a piece of shit and Elvis was a sprendthrift with drug and mommy issues, and he was surrounded by "yes men" and leeches. PP was savvy enough to turn her role as a named trustee in Elvis' will into EPEI and become a revenue generator for LMP 's benefit when she reached the appointed age (25). Did she personally profit? Of course, as was her right to draw salary for EPE, publish her own "telling" of her story with Elvis, create her own businesses and pursue a career. The tangled mess of LMP's finances were of her own making- she took little interest in overseeing her money (and how it was spent) after she sold 85% of EPEI. Do you feel the same level of disgust towards those overseeing Michael Jackson's estate, or Biggie Smalls? They, too, are headed by savvy folks who turned very little back into something for heirs. They too are well compesated for that. |

I'm seeing sympathy for a woman who has/is enduring the tragedy of outliving both her daughter and one of her grandchildren and a natural desire for the family to be laid to rest in the same place. To me it's no different to someone ordinary being returned to the home town they left decades ago so they can be laid to rest with their family there. People do things like this all the time. Just because in this case it comes with extra tinsel and a pre-existing admission fee doesn't negate the natural desire for family to stay together, even in death. |

October 9, 2023 will be the half century mark of the divorce, but I'm guessing that's one fact in Elvis history that Priscilla won't be promoting. However long she lived there, he was her dad and frankly, that fact has defined her entire life. There is no avoiding that for her and so she lived as Elvis' daughter which is, in fact, what she was. I see no issue with her being buried there, near her dad and in a place that defined who she is and what her life was. Say what you will about Pricilla, but the articles I read lately say that Elvis' estate was something like a paltry 5M when he died and Pricilla managed it to a significant fortune. Who the fuck wouldn't? I suppose Pricilla could have gotten a job at Walmart and done her best to carve out a life for her child OR she could work with the cards dealt her. She did that and made a fortune for those Elvis left behind. There are worse ways to spend your time and energy. |
