Wednesday morning I went to Mom's to help her with Papaw... a few minutes after I got there, I took that heaviness in my chest I'm having a heart attack feeling and in minutes I couldn't even stand up straight. She got all upset, called for Stan to come get me, no way could I drive, and when he did I had him take me to the doc's office. There, though, they said they couldn't see me until 3:30. The receptionist suggested I try going to the E.R. So.. I did. I sat there for hours, waiting, and the more I waited the more ambulances came and went and by 20 after 3 I just headed back to the doc's office for the appointment they gave me.
They took me in, hooked me to this EKG machine, and found that I had no p wave.. a missing p wave must not be a good thing because they decided to admit me immediately to the hospital for more tests. The doc said with my chest pain and the missing p wave she'd just not feel right about not admitting me. I was getting scared, so I agreed, no, it wouldn't be right at all. By then I'd been hurting for about 6 hours. I think a real heart attack woulda got me by then. Still.. I was hurting pretty badly..
It turned out to be a really rotten Gall Bladder attack, surgery, they took it out on Friday and let me come home yesterday. I still have some problems with my liver, they want to check it again on Thursday, but all in all I do feel better.
Thank you, Lisa, for staying with me night and day.. you're awesome.. thanks Stan, Mom, Dianne, and Bonnie for helping with the girls, and thank you all for the beautiful flowers.. you sure did make me feel loved and needed.. I don't know what on Earth I'd do without you.. Papaw, the blue roses were my favorites.. I'll keep them forever. Thank you everyone!
