Finally feeling some better this morning. Woke up with my BP down and enough energy to tell my story.

Friday morning on the way to the Rodeo we decided to stop at Wendy's instead of eating at the park, because they were supposed to be having dollar baked potatoes.

Well. That turned out not to be true so I decided to order a taco salad. It looked great in the picture, but when it arrived it was just a pile of lettuce with a giant glop of chili on top. I tried to eat it but it was awful and I only had a few bites. Gave me heartburn almost right away.

Went on to the Stampede and had a great day.

Went t bed early as we were to go on a trail ride in the am. Woke up sick at 2 am with the trots and feeling light headed. Got ready to go and sent Rich off without me at the last minute.

He got home at 2 pm and I told him I had to go to urgent care. Was feeling dizzy, nauseated and having chest pain. He harrumphed and tried to talk me out of it, but I was scared. I was shaking and thought I was going to throw up and pass out.

Got to urgent care and they put me on ECG and told me there was a blip and I needed to go to hospital. So off I go where they tell me the blip means nothing without blood testing for cardiac enzymes so they pull my blood and send me to the unit to be monitored for the night, and also for chest xray.

Mind you on every step of the way they put a different set of leads on me. I now look like a giant squid attacked me.

The last of the blood draws show a small amt of cardiac enzymes, so off for another test where they inject me with nuke, then with adenosine that makes the top of my head blow off.

Then three hours later they tell me I'm normal, but they have to send me home with the 24 hour ECG.

So another miserable night sleeping with leads on. Kiss my husband good bye on a trip he was supposed to take on Monday morning.

WHAAAA?????

My BP has been sky high and I have an appt with my PCP next Monday. I guess in the meantime I'm just supposed to stay home and croak?

So you tell me peeps. Am I sick or just freaking crazy!

And how does one show a small amt of cardiac enzymes without heart damage? If anyone knows please tell me!

I pretty much slept for 24 hours and am just now beginning to feel a bit closer to normal!

WHEW!!!!!=)!

Oh well. I always hoped I would drop dead fast like my grandmother before me instead of a lingering death I have witnessed all to often in my nursing career.

I got a taste of being in hospital and i never want to go back!

I will say though the staff was very nice to me and it was a very nice new facility.

Holy Cowgirl!!!! You have been going through it!!! I am glad that they can't find anything wrong. I wouldn't doubt that you are sick, but perhaps it may be just your system rebooting wil all that has been going on, especially with Don. I mean, it was situation after situation with him, and I am sure, although you have had a great attitude about him, even after finding out he wasn't always honest, I am sure there is a part of you that feels betrayed and disappointed. Maybe your body is simply detoxing from all of it, and moving the energy around. I trully believe that when I get sick, I am totally detoxing. You were greatly affected by Don, for a long time and were a true friend to him. Your bod is also giving you no choice but to slow down and nurture yourself. The body is an AMAZING thing! It never lies! Be very loving to my Granny! I LOVE YOU~
