Rolling on the stretcher

Another week and another visit to the ER. This time from work. All I have to say is that when that kind of pain hits you you don't care about anything except the end of that pain. Make it stop was a moaned litany in my head. A damned bumpy ride with me not being able to hold still, unable to answer simple questions. Swarmed by nurses on arrival to slap EKG leads onto my covered with sweat body, and finally an IV and the pain fading.

This surgery cannot happen soon enough, I do not need or want another reminder that something inside me is not working right. Just fix it damn it. Enough already.

One day off mostly spent sleeping and I return tonight, hopefully to all being normal and a regular work night. A packed lunch, (so Not having cafeteria food again till after the surgery is completed) and me, sort of stretched thin right now. I don't have enough 'umph' to deal with more right now. I hope the world and the angels understand that, please do not put more on my plate, I am full.

Will check in again later. I was not able to make phone calls on friday, too washed out and under the influence of pain meds. I have to see about moving this surgery forward. I'd rather be in pain recovering then going through another episode of hell.

hugs,
k

Glad you are feeling somewhat better. Also, happy that you are taking your lunch...probably a safer option than the cafeteria!
Love, Mel

One good thing about this happening at work is that they see you are not imagining anything. What you have going on is real. If they had doubt which they shouldn't have.

Big Hugs!

Nope, definitely not a faked event..I could not begin to act that well. Honestly, when you can feel that kind of pain everything else disappears, there is only the pain, it chases everything else away, including the ability to perceive what is happening around you and speech. This is why I only remember bits and pieces of the event. Along with taking my own food to work, I also carry, if needed, pain meds. Another ambulance ride? No thanks. Hugs to M and V for your support and huge hearts.
