Hey y'all. I haven't been contributing much lately, and I apologize.
I wasn't feeling to well Wednesday. I began sweating really bad, it was hard to get a breath, my stomach hurt and my head hurt. I had one of my FF/Paramedic friends check my BP, turns out it was 82/50 and pulse was 42. A little low. Shortly there after, turns out I became unconsicous on him.
Instead of going to the ER, like I know darn well I should have, I decided I would just go lay down and rest.
Have felt like crap ever since. I saw my DR yesterday and he ordered way to many blood tests, EKG, a halter monitor a some scans. He also wants me to keep a diary of my BP and Pulse. He did the stand/sit/lay BP and pulse check and they were wildly different.
So anyway, between running (well not really running, more like walking and hoping I don't drop right there) between tests, trying to work, and still maintain status quo in my house for my son I will be in and out, but mostly out. I am also transferring from the ER I work in now, where I do most of my posting to the main ER where they to 10 times the number of patients.
So after Monday, I will be more out of touch than normal. But I will check in with y'all often. After all, I am almost to my custom title!!!!
