What A Day!!

Yesterday I was in the hospital 2 times. Yes, that isn't a typo. Lol  I woke up feeling like my heart was racing and I felt it was going to jump out of my chest. My head was throbbing too. I have a blood pressure cuff and it read that my bp was 151/107 and my pulse was 104. After over an hour of feeling like that, I called my cardiologist. They told me to get to the ER asap. My youngest son was so sweet! He took me to the hospital. I told him to leave & I would let him know when I was done. The dr ordered meds to get my bp down. About 2 hours later it started coming down but I still had the pounding headache so the dr ordered a CT scan of my head and more meds. They did the CT scan to make sure none of my cerebral aneurysms were leaking. It came back ok. They dismissed me and the nurse asked me if I needed a wheelchair & I told her No.  My son came out to pick me up. There is a divider in the parking lot with a sidewalk around it. We were walking down the sidewalk and my right foot came down on the edge of it and I fell hard on my left knee, left hip, and left elbow. I instantly grabbed my knee and then I heard voices all around me. I opened my eyes and there were I think 5 strangers there to help me! 1 of them ran inside the hospital and told them I fell and 2 nurses brought out a wheelchair. Since I was holding my knee, 1 of them got on the radio for them to bring out a stretcher. Between 2 of the strangers and nurses, they picked me up and got me on the stretcher. The staff asked me if I was just in there and I said Yes but I missed them so much I had to come back! Lol  When the dr saw me, he was laughing and said I was the worse case of missing someone he has ever seen. He ordered an x-ray and the nurse cleaned up my knee and bandaged it up. The x-ray came back ok and I was dismissed again but this time the nurse said there was no way I was Walking out of there! I was going out in a wheelchair. I made it home thanks to the help of some fabulous strangers, the staff at the hospital, and my loving son!!! Yesterday was a perfect example of how there ARE FABULOUS people out there and I am EXTREMELY BLESSED to have a lot of them in my life!!! Have a very blessed day everyone and remember: YOU ARE LOVED SO VERY MUCH!! 


Laugh And Smile Often, Love ALWAYS!!!
