It's never simple with me, is it? Last night we were meant to be celebrating as a family before mum and dad head off to western australia tomorrow, and instead everyone ends up eating cold food that they dont feel like having and waiting for news from the hospital.
I felt fine all day, and I was really looking forward to having my nachos because i'd been craving them all week. I was fine eating my entree of salt and pepper squid but then three bites into my nachos I felt like crap.
I knew I was going to pass out. My head got all fuzzy and I could sort of feel the energy draining out of me. I felt like I was going to throw up. I remember looking at mum and saying I didnt feel good, then I got up to go outside and the next thing I know dad was trying to get me up off the floor.
Apparently I fell down twice while they were trying to get me outside. I could hear dad talking to me, but I couldnt reapond and it sounded like he was really far away.
By some freaky sort of luck there was an ambulance crew there attending another man, and the woman came straight outside to me and stayed with us while we waited for another crew to come. I felt a little better as soon as I was in the fresh air.
She took my bp once I was coherrent, and it was only 100/50. 10 minutes later it was back to normal. My blood sugar was fine.
My ambo crew arrived and they were just as good as the first and insisted that I go to the hospital to get checked out. I was feelung better by this point but I didnt want to argue. The ambo in the back with me joked that he was really sorry that he was taking me to the mersey - turns out he's not a fan either. He said something about how he should really try and find something nice to say about them but he couldnt think of any, I agreed with him.
We got to the hospital and waited 15 minutes at the triage beforw anyone came to take me off thwir hands, the ambos were getting very pissed off. Then I was stuck in a chair in the hallway and no one came near me for 40 minutes, not even to check my bp. All the time I was worrying about drew who was waiting out in reception.
When they finally let drew in and he did some yelling they moved me to a bed that had been empty the whole time and started to pay me some attention, but by then I was fine and just wanted to go home. Over the next 2 hours they did an ecg and testedy urine, both were clear. They checked my blood pressure sitting amd standing and it drops slightly when I standing but it wasnt low so they sent me home.
We have an appointment with doctor jensen this afternoon, so hopefully he can shed some light on things for us. I really hope he doesnt say those horrible "bed rest" words again, I only just got out of that!
I feel fine this morning, a little queesy and a little embarrassed thats all. I sure know how to steel all the attention ;)
