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.

lol, i know. if the shoe was on the other foot, i'd be like let me see, let me see!!!!!! Whee

so it feels kinda weird talking about me. isn't it weird for you not to talk about you? you don't come play much anymore...what have you been up to?
Exactly!

And yeah, I've decided not to talk about myself that much. I'm totally kidding. I'll always talk about myself a ton, even if I'm by myself laugh out loud

I haven't been up to much. Just goin' through a little bit of a time (I don't think all this helps either laugh out loud ) and haven't felt all that sociable. It won't last. I can't be unsociable for long. laugh out loud

It's totally freaky. Because earlier this afternoon when Mr. SD made a brief appearance in da lounge I was thinking of you and wondering if you were ok. Cue Twilight theme.

Whooa, that is weird. I like it when stuff like that happens, lol.

Oh! Btw! A couple weeks ago I think I went to send a response to a PM you had sent but it said you weren't accepting PMs. I was like "Shoot. I'll PM her about that." and then realized I was stupid, lol.

Quote from Autumn :
Honestly, I'm not sure exactly what happened. I had a bad bad pain in my jaw/neck. Then I got really dizzy and hot. One of my friends told me to smile and one side of my mouth wouldn't move. Then I had to drop my head to the table and I couldn't move it up so one of my friends called an ambulance and another got some ice to put on my neck. One of the ladies there is an older lady and she's had a stroke and she was really sweet going "ohh no, ohh noo, it'll be ok.." So then I laid down on the booth and I realized I couldn't feel my hands/arms and when I tried to tell my friends that I couldn't say my S's and I was talking really slow and I couldn't get out what I wanted to say. About 20 min later I felt completely fine. It was really weird. I tell you though, all the weird stuff that I've had happen with spider bites and stuff that was the only time I actually kind of wondered for a couple minutes if I was gonna die. Which I didn't, obviously, lol. I wasn't really scared but the thought did cross my mind for a couple seconds.
You do know you can't actually resurrect yourself, right?

Quote from Autumn :
If it helps things, I've taken 67 pictures of me looking dead, me with my IV, me with my hospital tags, me after the EKG, me looking dead again...etc. So even if I didn't notify before hand I was going I can still make you all feel like you're actually here! lol
We believe you. No need to post them

Quote from Autumn :
On the upside, I got free socks, another free water mug thing AND I had just painted my toenails the other day so when they keep coming in and checking the pulse in my feet at least they look pretty, lol.
Free? Wait until you get the hospital bill. See if you feel the same then.

Or ask for an itemized bill. Bet you'll find them listed somewhere.

Quote from Autumn :
I had a chicken quesadilla which had grilled chicken, green peppers, onions and a little cheese and a small side of rice. We play trivia there every week and that's what I get every week. But sometimes they change up the quesadilla like sometimes there's beans and sometimes there's cheese and sometimes not so maybe they put something weird in there last night that I didn't see. I didn't eat any of the other stuff.


You know what? About a month ago I went to the Dr. and my BP was 174/123 and we were all "I'm gonna dieeee! Whee" and she was like "Hey, go on a low salt diet." and I was like "Hey, lay off my bacon salt I don't count it as salt."

But I did lay off the salt. I bet it's bacon salt withdrawal and I can still sue someone Rock
EEK!

Quote from Autumn :
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
Dammit, now I'm hungry.

Quote from Autumn :
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.

Cloud9 I may never leave this hospital again if Uncle Jesse keeps giving me sponge baths.
laugh out loud


Confused

Get better soon. Comfort

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

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. 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.
The second picture sort of looks like it could belong in the "Dirty Minds" thread.

Quote from Autumn :
This is my room. I think it's pretty cool. The hospital was built about a year ago. The old one was completely torn down which kind of surprised me cause I thought that was a fine hospital too. Anyway this is my room's view from my bed.



After the EKG. I look so happy, lol



This is the needle in my arm that they've had in for the past 12 hours but no one has used at all except for when I first got here. I do not enjoy this, lol.



Prerequisite dramatic dying picture


And again (Patrick brought me a nightgown to use tonight)


I have like 60 pictures/versions of the dramatic tongue out dying picture. I am not kidding. I have been so bored and I am so full of myself, lol.

The TV in front of my bed. There's a bar running along the top of my bed with this hanging thing where I can pull myself up on it if I needed too. I don't really know why I'd need to but ok. BUT the cool thing...after I ate the nurse comes in and goes "Oh! Yeah! I forgot to weigh you!" (Sure, after I eat..blah). So I started to get up but she told me I could stay in bed and she weighed me while I was sitting on the bed. It was kind of awesome.
Dammit, too late. Ranting

Quote from serra :
haha, i just got here and i'll be here for a bit. sorry to hear you're in the hospital.

let's seeeee.....mod life is interesting. no two days are the same. all of us go on this mod chat thingy. we work but we chat/banter too. i'm the most picked-on there. most of the times, it's 3 against me. tis fine...i take them on...3 at a time! Flex

Shutup

Autumn I hope you are finally sleeping and getting the rest you need...but I woke up a little bit ago and since I couldn't get back to sleep I checked my phone to read emails and check SD. When I saw this thread I had to read through it and wanted to get up to send you good thoughts and wish you well.

Your symptoms do sound like a mini stroke...very similar to something my brother's ex-wife had many years ago (I think she was in her early 40's)...and now she participates in half-triathlons. I do think you will make it through with flying colors (or was that from the loritabs before? Scratchhead) and am glad that people were with you and got you medical attention right away. hug You are tough and have a great sense of humor...two things that will be sure to get you through this.

I am thinking this might be tied to your anxiety and hoping that once this is all behind you the anxiety will be in your past too. Smilie
Soak up as much attention at the hospital as you can. laugh out loud And take full advantage of that room service ...did they provide a mini-fridge/bar too?

On one hand I am sorry that you are going through this...on the other hand...now you are so bored and you are stuck there for a bit so you kind of have to be visiting in the lounge... Harhar
