Went To The Hospital Saturday
Oct 11, 2011
I have been having shortness of breath since last Tuesday. The only time it happened is when I was trying to speak. Then the coughs would start. I did'nt know it was serious because this is the first time that I have encountered this type of problem. It calmed down until Friday,that when I went to see my pcp. She told me to go to the ER after I leave becuase it could be a blood clot in my lungs or somewhere else. I was told this the day before by Dr. Lee's NP. I still did'nt go until Saturday afternoon.I was there for 6 hours. It went pretty quickly in my opinion. I checked in,had ekg about 10 minutes later,was called back about 20 minutes later,changed my clothes,was asked questions, off to take chest xray,back to the room,watched the tv with a breathing treatment(no steroids and I asked about every med or needle that they may give...NO STEROIDS!!),ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER, i WAS OFF TO HAVE A CT SCAN.............I was vomitting for about 5 minutes from the ct liquid,then was giving nausea med and I felt better later but it still hits me off and on.
I was thanking God that nothing returned abnormal..I was a bit shocked due to the coughing spell. I may have broncitis or however you spell it. Never had breathing problems before and i am not around smokers and no one smokes in my house. I was'nt dehydrated and the Doc at the hospital said that my lungs are good.
Get this......the male nurse that i had asked me what was my highest weight for me to get wls, I said 200. HE SAID YOU DID NOT NEED TO HAVE THAT SURGERY. I was like oh boy, let me school this dude. I pretty much told him my history of the thyroid,meds,my height and the HUGE amount of the 75-90 pounds that is causing or could cause on my short frame. He said..oh, I see. Anyhoo,I left with a prescription for a inhaler. I did get it filled but have'nt used it unitl I wait to hear from Lee's NP today. My record from the hospital was faxed to my pcp and is getting faxed to the NP. I am very tired and sluggish the last couple of days. I have been stressed about a few things and I think that it's taking a toll on my body. Whatever the case may be, God has everything under control and all I can do is let go and let God.
I am now 169.16 pounds. A relative saw me yesterday that I have'nt seen since December 2010. She looked at me up and down and said you really look good. She told me gain before I left. I was soooo sleepy and could'nt wait to get home.
