helluva start for summer

It's been an interesting june.... was having problems with what I thought was my stomach.. The last friday of May was the fish fry, and then I did the breakfast for the holiday weekend. I thought I just needed an adjustment, but would have to wait till Wed when drs office opened up. Instead, I went to urgent care who referred me to the ER, when my son got home, I had him take me.. rather than waste a good ambulance ride. (go figure)... I was released that night w/meds & told to follow-up w/dr. I made the appt, when we got there (we being my son & I), my BP was low.. I mean LOW. So dr calls paramedic & it's still low for them too! So we go on an ambulance ride across the street!! I was going to have my son drive me over, but I knew that I wouldn't have to wait as long as if I'd walked in myself.

So they thought I had an "incident"... heart attack/stroke. But I didn't have any of that. So I'm admitted that night and watched, given some stuff... pain meds I think... taken off my reg BP med and put on a lower dosage....

wow... just noticed this has been sitting out in limbo since June. ok, so to up date-I went home just in time to be installed as Madam President for the Auxiliary. And then I went back into the hospital that Monday. Didn't even stay long enough to enjoy karaoke Saturday night! :-(
After all was said & done, I ended up taking 4 trips to ER, stayed in hospital 3 different times, and all within a month! Now I'm on oxygen 24/7; and finally did a sleep study for the sleep apnea. I knew I had that issue, just never took care of it like I should've years ago
