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...
Also no Lortabs. Blah, lol.

Just wanted to chime in and ask, did anyone mention checking you for MS? Sometimes MS presents itself with stroke-like symptoms, but if they test you right after an episode MS won't show up. They have to test you about 2-3 days AFTER you have an episode....
A bacon bacon bacon egg and cheese bagel. It was delicious!
A LOT of extra bacon it is, then.

The answer is: a large pizza from Domino's with extra extra bacon.
Edit: I wonder how funny it would be if TS changed his name to Uncle Jesse...
And who would be revolted more...
So the Dr. came in yesterday and said "I've got good news and bad news. Good news is all your tests came back fine, bad news is we still don't know what this is." The did the MRI, CT Scan, EKG, blood tests testing how quickly or well my blood clots, ran a heart monitor on me for about 16 hours, other blood tests, some cardiology test that they had to do three times about six hours apart and they all came back fine. Which is Great. I do wish that they had found something really really small (lol) that would explain this cause since we don't know what caused it I don't know if or when it'll happen again. It could just be some weirdass thing that happened to me and it'll never happen again.
I asked her if my jaw/neck/under ear hurting SO bad was something separate from the dizzy/slurring/droopy mouth/etc thing and she was very firm in saying no she was sure it was all related but she just didn't know how. She said her and her partners had been discussing it and every time they came up with something it "could" be the jaw thing didn't fit in with it. She said she hated to release me without finding out a cause but they had really run all the tests they knew to run for this. She said she could possibly do a stress test but my EKG was really good and the blood tests and I didn't fit any of the risk factors for a heart problem and she really didn't think that's what it was anyway.
They hooked me up with the heart monitors during the night and then yesterday they started an IV with fluids cause she did say I was a little dehydrated but nothing horrible. Not enough for it to have caused that.
The only thing she thinks could have possibly caused it was the meds I'm taking. A month ago my Dr. started me on 10 mgs of Lisinipril and then I went back monday and she upped it to 20mgs as well as 12.5 of some fluid pill. The Dr. said maybe the 20mg upped dosage and the fluid pill were too much and dropped my bp too fast so she took me off the fluid pill and I'm supposed to go back and see my Dr. in a week.
Weird thing about me is I am ALWAYS thirsty. When I was a kid the teachers would tell my parents they wondered if I had diabetes because I was always at the water fountain. The strange thing is is I rarely have to go to the bathroom but I drink LOADS of water all day long. I have to keep a water bottle in my car because I could be driving 15 minutes away and suddenly get so thirsty I think I'm gonna be sick even if I just drank before I left home. My dr. said that my body just really needs the water she guesses and that's why I don't go to the bathroom a lot. So this Dr. said maybe I do need more water than a normal person (lol) and the fluid pill just took too much water from me. A test showed I was midly dehydrated even though I had gone through three things of water that the nurses brought me (the third time she brought me water she was like "Wow you REALLY are a water person, huh?" lol). She didn't really think I was dehydrated enough to cause all those symptoms, especially the jaw thing but maybe it made it worse. Ehhh no one really knows I guess.
No tl;dr thing cause y'all need to read every single word I write ever in life
She said she couldn't form the words she as trying to form or couldn't comprehend words she was trying to read. BP was like 220/120 right after.
Stayed the night in the hospital and they did MRI and EKG and stuff, and couldn't find anything wrong with her, but she's on BP meds now, too.
Was that recent FML you? The one about being allergic to bacon?
Also Serra said in her own little roundabout way that I'm a A-1 butt kisser in that thread! I think she likes me!
I told you that you could have a bacon overdose! Thats what they were really trying to say in a nice way.
I kept waiting for the Dr. to tell me I needed more bacon but noooooo

And I know! When they discharged me the nurse told me that the hospital would be contacting me in a couple days with a survey about how I thought they treated me. I'm gonna be all "THEY WOULDN'T LET ME HAVE BACON!!
