Yesterday, all day, I felt like my heart was going to explode through my chest. I have been dealing with digestive troubles for about 2 years (gastroparesis..etal) and have also been diagnosed recently with high blood pressure. (What Democrat's blood pressure isn't a little high right now?)
Anyway, it got a little scary so I went to the doctor. I was really dehydrated and my heart rate was 150 so he sent me to the ER with a note to hydrate me and get my heartrate down. Actually, I took the note and went home, waited for MrG to come home, let them eat dinner and then went to the ER figuring,"Heck, it's Wednesday how busy can they be?" Answer: REALLY DAMN BUSY
First: There was the guy (22) who thought he might have the flu because he had, "kind of a headache" all day.
Second: There was the guy who had a little bit too much to drink and fell out of his wheelchair pulling it on top of himself. (actually, this one kind of pissed me off because I cannot stand the way some medical personnel treat alcoholics with such obvious disgust).
Third: There was the girl who wasn't sure she was pg, but felt like she was and thought she might be miscarrying.
Fourth: I could go on....
Anyway, there was a really great episode of "My Wife and Kids" on that had my husband and I rolling.
After six hours of fluids and listening to a drug intervention on the man in the cube next to me Mr.Idon'tknowhowIhurtmyhandbutithurtsbadandIneedsomethingevenifthexraysdon'tshowanything, I was released into the care of my husband.
Anyone know where one can purchase a doityourself I.V. kit?
