I'm home been home since Weds night , been so drugged up with meds that I slept allot , very sore from the test and all the IV's and blood drawn. One thing I have to say is that they are very through. Ya know when your in the hospital you never sleep don't you? .
Well here is the story
Monday morning bright and early I was feeling really bad been up the whole night before and just couldn't sleep.. The pain got to intense and waited till 8 am to call my doctor to let him know I was told to go right to the emergency room .. So by am I'm sitting there. They have take blood , put in a IV taken chest xray. Gave me oxygen. Came in taken blood , did a EKG and then I wait . You know the drill you sit and wait if your not dying , which I really wasn't but it sure felt like it .
My hubby sitting by my side holding my hand putting up with my grouchiness .. So they gave me some Nitro then ask a few minutes later did it take away some of the pain.. No it didn't.. They waited another 5 minutes and gave me another still no results. .. So then they decide that they are going to start heart blood test to make sure there is no abnomalitys with my heart.
Sorry for taking so long with the rest of my hospital trip. Ok above is still on Monday, fianlly 3 hours later after sitting in the emergency room they deciede that they will admit me so up to the room I go , very nice nurses and had a very nice roommate Donna.. she also has diabetes and was in the hospital for Celulitis remember that one from my husband. well they got me all settled in and gave me lunch , snack then later supper .. best part i was hungry .. anyway they came in every 2 hours to take blood . now mind ya i havent been to bed since Sunday morning , i was exasted so I tryed to get a cat nap in but that didnt happen, They gave me tons of drugs none of which i can think of there names, put a nitro paste patch on me and then gave me tylenol for the headache they give you .. gezz
All of my kids came to see me with a exception of one .. He was not informed of me being in the hospital. I could of died and he would of never known.. oh im not getting into that right now on with this story.. I ask for all my kids to be there with there babys I wanted to see all of them you just never know what tomorrow will bring and I didnt want to miss one single minute of not seeing them .. And at this point I want to thank , Christy, Jonathan, Dusty, Kelcee, Kyle, Stacey, Josh ( her hubby), Maddey, and Logan for coming up to see me , I received to pink carnations in a vase, two balloons and a little candle that says on the side of it Moms are like buttons they hold things together.. was so sweet..
Lets get onto the next day Tuesday in the hospital, Up early 6 am to take more blood , ok im going back to sleep .. nope they come in with the breakfast tray at 7 am who in there right mind eats that early lol. im a night person not me but ate anyway .. then thought ok i can go back to sleep ... nope more test more blood being drawn .. oh by the way two iv's had slipped out of my veins and one came all the way out of my hand gezzz .. Ok more blood being drawn .. by now they cant get it anymore the have to pump my arm up with blood pressure cup to get more blood to come out fun huh? Well since the last IV slipped out they gave me a break an said that i could wait till later to get another put in .. Thank you..
Then at this point I dont know if Christy came up ya I think she did she brought me some scrap books she is making for me made me feel so good to see them she does beautiful work and I loved each and every one of them .. Made me feel so good .
Later that evening Hubby brought up Kelcee.. We cuddled and spent allot of time together , hubby brought up cashews and some sugar free candy. It was nice and we really enjoyed the quiet time.. After they left nurse came in to put back in the IV from earlier they wrapped my arm in hot towels and then came in and proceeded to put in the IV.. oucheee I told them it hurt they said wiggle your toes and you wont think about it .. hell i was kicking my feet and still felt it lol.. took them like 5 minutes but it finally got it and hurt till they removed it at 8.30 p.m. then next night, They told me Tuesday that I would go in for the angiogram scheduled for 2.30 the next day.. oh what stress..
Weds.. morning at 6 am i was awaken and fed my breakfast my last meal till that night .. I told everyone to say away in the morning hours so i could try and sleep the day away ... but was to stressed to do that Thank God that Christy Came up around Noon to sit with me and give me the strength to go on Thank you again Christy you are my gaurdian angel.. Later Stacey came up with logan but didnt stay long logan was being ansie.. then hubby came up and Christy and him stayed with me till it was time to go . I was fine till then and they went with me to get the test done i was fine till they had to leave me , I got upset but tryed not to show it I told both of them that I loved them and gave them a kiss.. I heard that hubby cryed when i went in.. let me tell you a little story about why i was so stressed .. Doc comes in that morning tells me there is a 1 in a 1000 chance of mortality during this procedure tells me that there is a chance of stroke or heart attack hmmm good information but scared the hell out of me besides the fact that I am alergic to the Iodine they put in me .. they had me drugged up so much anihistomes i didnt have a allergy one lol. it was a safety thing they said but said i could still have a reaction.. gezz what was i getting my self into..
Anyway back to going in for the procedure .. the nurses were great they ask what kind of music i liked i said country on went the radio and i was jammin away loll ya right i was flat on my back with nothing on but warm blankets .. gezz talk about being open to the world ..
They said the doc was coming and they gave me this drug said that i wouldnt know what was going on.. I swear i was awake for the whole thing I wasent they said oh ok i thought i was talking to them and looking at the monitor and everything must of been dreaming .. anyway next thing i hear them say is you will feel really warm .. they sure wasent lieing .. i got warm all over thought i was going to pee my self lol. After that I dont remember much of anything . them telling me they are going to move me to a bed and not to do a thing do not move they said
So I say ok just dont drop me lol. I dont remember nothing from there till i was in my room and I opened my eyes and there was Hubby holding my hand telling me that i had not blockages and i had a very good heart for my age and that everything went great..
Next thing I know they are trying to make me drink so there i am flat on my back trying to drink from this straw that bends and you take a drink and stop a take it out of your mouth and the pop keeps coming out all over you lol. oh well then they bring in dinner hmmm ok how the hell am i suposta eat laying flat on my back .. well let me tell you it can be done yep hard but it can be done hubby fed me ran into my teeth a few times and kept trying to feed me fast .. i guess he dont understand you cant chew and swallow as easy as you can sitting up.. but he did a great job, I do have to tell you that laying there for 5 hours was the worst day of my life , couldnt move your legs head noda .. I realize how bad it must be for the people that are paralized and cant move.. I felt helpless .. hubby left after a few hours if i had known how bad it would be once he left i wouldnt of never let him leave.. first my phone falls off the bed , then the call button for the nurse.. then they come in and check on me move my tray across the room and now I cant reach and get something to drink.. I have nothing to throw nothing to get there attention..
Ok relief they bring another roommate in yeee haaa and I know the ladys daughter another plus.. she walks by i say hey she says Hi Toni.. I say please please get me a nurse.. by now Im thirsty and have to go potty .. you know what is coming next right .. bed pan. and not any ordinary bed pan this thing is flat great i havent went all day and they want me to lay flat on my back and go in this flat thing .. ok i got to go i say fine i go for it .. guess what got to full and ran out .. I rang for the nurse cause now i have the call button back a male nurse comes in gezzz what else.. anyway I tell him I went potty and he needs to get gloves on and get it out from under me and they put a pad behind me till it was time for me to get to sit up .. I have a few more hours to go so unconfortable..
Finally its time or getting close to it I say please there is only 5 minutes to go please let me up they say NO you have 5 minutes ok fine im watching the clock yea 5 minutes go by... I get to sit up dam I almost feel back down all the blood rushed to my head laying down and it was going the other way when i sat up .. took another 5 minutes before i could get out of bed to go to potty , ok potty time over and im back in bed .. they tell me I can go home yeeeaaa.. hubby calls hmmm its raining so heard he cant see to drive says he will wait a little bit to come get me when it slows down. by the time he got there it had stopped and I was dressed and ready to go.
Was told to go home and rest for 4 days do nothing then i could go back to work .. I was so sore for three days felt like someone beat me up but am feeling a bit better now my chest and back still hurt but I think its something else . they are going to do a scope on me maybe next week to see if i have a hernia I know i have acid reflux but it could be getting worse . we will see.. so this is the end of this story .. I see the doc tomorrow at 4 and will find out more and will keep you updated on whats going on... Sorry for the long story..
