No seriously, someone keep me company, lol. They're gonna keep coming in to check on me and I'm not gonna be able to sleep anyway.

Last night I was with friends. Had a stroke type event. Ambulance came to restaurant. Started to feel better by the time they got there (they couldn't find the restaurant, lol). Went home. Now I'm at hospital. They admitted me. Ran loads of tests. Haven't found anything yet. Hurrah.

So anyway I finally got connected to the internet. Hello hello hello. Is there anybody out there? Just nod if you can heeeeear me...laugh out loud

Also no Lortabs. Blah, lol.

I did laugh laugh out loud And I will hug


Yeah. now I have to take Lisinapril (sp) every day until I can hopefully get it down. Thing that sucks is, I had been eating really good for me since September but some of the things I had been enjoying that were low in calories/fat apparently were higher in salt. Like the Turkey sausage, the low fat/calorie soups that have a zillion grams of sodium. Stuff like that. Problem is, I love salt soooooo much, lol.

And the hospital food here is AWESOME. They have this menu you can call and order stuff from whenever you want. They have...wait let me look...well hell it's a load of stuff. It's like the size of a restaurant menu. So it was really hard not being like "I WANT BACON AND MACARONI AND CHEESE AND CHICKEN/PASTA WITH ALFREDO SAUCE AND TEXAS TOAST AND SWEET POTATO FRIES AND BRICK OVEN PIZZAS AND FRUIT COBBLER AND ICE CREAM AND...." laugh out loud
Roll i'll help you eat everything. just say yes when they hand you the menu.

Dear Pig,

No more Bacon for Autumn. the poor girl is having health issues that could very well be linked to a bacon overdose.

Sincerely lounge snack cake,
Cupcake.
There is no such thing as bacon overdose. Mad

And while we're waiting for the cute young doctor to come in for your sponge bath, here's some entertainment.

Juggle

woot

And almost as if you summoned him, someone did come into my room, lol. But it wasn't the hot sponge bath guy, it was some guy needing blood.

And I have the IV thing that's ready and waiting in my right arm but he had to poke me again and do it in my left arm. Why do I have the stupid IV needle in my right arm then? Grr! laugh out loud He was super nice though.
Quote from daisee :

OMG... that was your real BP?! EEK!

If by horrible you mean delicious, lol. Oh! And then in the morning you can have pancakes or oatmeal or omelets made how you want or BACON or breakfast burrito or fresh fruit or cereal or BACON, etc and right now I'm super hungry but I am NOT a morning eater so when morning rolls around I'll be like "Ehh...nevermind." lol

Oh I meant to answer this part. Yeah that was real! That's why I was kinda wtf about it, lol. I went in because it was reading really high at CVS (157 or something) and then when she told me 174/123 I was thinking "So aren't I supposed to be dead by now?" lol

They did blood tests on me when I first went in a couple weeks ago. Checked cholesterol and she said that my good cholesterol was 66 and that's was really good to get. So I just left that Dr. on Monday feelin' kind of happy that all my other stuff come back ok and then this stupid thing happens, lol.

I'm not sure. Heck I wouldn't be surprised. I told them all about it though and he didn't act like he thought that was it. I'd rather that be it though, lol.

Thanks hug

Gurl,you better not get all dieded on us!!!

My sister's bff had a mini stroke shortly after graduating college. She's fine as if nothing ever happened has 2 kids & leads the same athletic life as prior to the incident. Bad thing was her office let her drive to the doctor's office by herself when she lost feeling in her arm and half her face. Facepalm

laugh out loud That's what I should have done. "I don't need to 'look' through this. I'll just have all of it."

Man this is all the stuff I can choose from and then on the back there's desserts and drinks and stuff!

Thanks Pig hug

I think I'm gonna take the needle in my arm and stab it in Summer's eye. She's been horrible this year, more horrible than usual. Mad Though this still beats the summer 3 (or 4?) years ago when I had the brown recluse bite, gall bladder surgery, two wasp stings that got infected, a sprained ankle AND Bea Arthur died. That one was probably worse, lol.

Nah. I'm pretty sure this will all turn out to be ok and then it'll just be a stressfully huge hospital bill, lol. Ahh well, such is life. And holy cow they let her drive? Was she ok or did she have a wreck or was she able to pull over or what? Wow I'm glad she's ok and continues to be ok.
