Hospital Visit :( naked... fireman
Feb 09, 2013
So yesterday i had my first post op doctor visit. I explained everything that has been going on with me lately and told them that I have not been getting enough protein or water in. I also told them that I have been experiencing shortness of breath and light headedness when I walk up any kind of stairs, this never happened to me before. I left the appointment and shortly got a call back from my surgeon telling me to get to the hospital ASAP. She was worried that I might have a blood clot in my lungs, she didn't want to scare me but said that you can drop dead from this. So off I went, when I got there, they took my vitals, my blood pressure was through the roof and my heart rate was really high. They could not get my blood after several attempts and had to call in reinforcements to draw my blood and put the IV in. So they gave me a bag of IV fluids and while i was waiting for the blood work results, came in and gave me an EKG. After waiting a while they took me to get a chest Cat-Scan. This was such a strange feeling, i was not anticipating the weird burning sensation from the dye that they inject. I felt like i was in an episode of House MD...lol So after waiting some more they came back and told me that all was well and I did not have a blood clot. That was a relief! I immediately felt better from the IV fluids though as I was dehydrated. They took my blood pressure again and it was normal this time and they let me go home.... as a side note, while I was in bed waiting, the fire alarm went off in the Hospital, it was going off for about 20 minutes and the fire department came, it was finally off by the time I was getting dressed. I was standing in my room naked and taking off the tape and gauze from the blood that they drew, i looked up and realized that you could see in my room, and guess who was standing at the perfect angle to see in my room... about 10 good looking fireman.. i was so embarrassed... i got dressed and had to walk past all of them with my head hung in shame.. lol All of this in the great snow storm last night!
