Wednesday, November 4, 2009 | An Anxious story

hi, and thank you so much for all your hugs and prayers, no one knows how much that has meant to me thank you thank you thank you,

well i kicked myself out of bed at 5am this morning had a racing heart and shaking legs once again, made myself  a drink got ready and watched it get light, wanted to come on ds but if i did i know i would of stayed here instead of going to the hospital,

got to the hospital 7.45am and was called in 10 miniuts later had to strip off and wear one of those lovely hospital gowns omg, then the nurse tried to put a canulla in my arm and she couldn't get a vain so she put it in the other arm, so i was sqirming as although its only a pin prick i don't like it,well sat for two hours with a drip attatched and it was freezing,

while sitting there i had a blurred vision attack again and the machine i was hooked up to went haywire, the nurses came running over and i had to lie on the bed for a while, they turned down the lights and brought me a cup of tea,

 

then when i felt better i sat back in the chair still with my friend attatched to my arm with a blanket over me, and although they Called Nigel my hubby in to sit with me i wasn't really with it, thats how blurred vision linked to migrane leaves me,

 

well there were five of us another lady and me and three men all in for a angiogram and one man for a pacemaker, well i looked oposite me and what a site, there was a old man sitting with his legs wide open showing his paper pants we all had to wear lol, and gawping at me, i looked away and when i glanced over again his eyes were fixed on me ,

well what could he be looking at, my gown was fastened my dressing gown was in place, besides my hair sticking up like a cockrel i really don't know what he was looking at,

 

well 10.30 came and we was all told we would have to come back next wednesday as the heart machine that checks on the dye broke down and they couldn't get it working,

nurse asks is that ok with you, No i said i can't go through with anxiety again and i feel fine and i wish i never went to the doctors in the first place now, so she got my notes and told me that my ecg from when i had to go on the treadmill was only a week apart from the first one and there was a dip so they knew there is some narrowing of the arteries and they need to check how much and what can be done, and if i don't have it done i could have a heart attack later on, WOW i really wanted to know that, WORRIED

 

so the next thing is i am told because of my anxietys i have to take loiazepam for sunday, monday, tuesday, night when i go to bed and wednesday morning, thats all i need,

 

 

 

well thats the news so far, anyway we went to Birmingham yesterday for my dad's birthday and went to see my grandchildren, to which one of them put her shoes on and said wanna come to your house nan, i said but you have to go to playgroup tomorrow, she said no playgroup wanna come to your house, they are so sweet, well that lightened my heart,

got home and Olive a old lady over the road brought me a card and a lilttle gift bless her, then i really missed getting on ds this morning oh its hard not to be able to satisfy my crave for ds and friends lol

got back home today, had lots of visitors neighbours all coming to see me, then managed to get on ds, and OMG so overwelming the love and prayers, hugs, ect from lots of you here i will always be gratefull and thankfull to you all, and Misty a special thank you to you,

can't wait to talk tomorrow,

 

 

so for now i have to get back to normal for a short while and ask you all please don't smoke, it may happen to you or worse, happiness is much better than hospital visits wether something wrong or not,

 

 

well god bless you all, sending massive amounts of love

Carol xxxxxxx

    So sorry that the silly machine broke down and you went through all that preparation and anxiety for nothing. Maybe it will make it a little bit easier for next week. The Lorazopam will really help you relax, it's a good antianxiety med. I hope things go smoother for you next time. Hugs, Beth

    Well Madam Carol, sounds like you've got an "admirer" at the hospital - lol. Whilest you and your new boyfriend were were lounging in the angiogram ward at the hospital, sippin tea and making googly eyes at each other, I'll have you know I was thinkin bout you all day at work. (like many folks, you know)

    "loiazepam"....your SO LUCKY.......Save some (2 or 3) to pop in the mouth the morning you return to the hospital and the whole ordeal will REALLY be a piece of cake! You'll get through this and trust your pal Bill when I tell you the loiazepam is gonna help TREMENDOUSLY ((GRIN))

    is it lorazepam? if it is that is ativan, that will knock you out for sure. You'll be extremely relaxed when you go back if not asleep. Your husband may have to carry you haha. I took one once and fell asleep on my chair. that stupid machine had to malfunction today,oh well like Joni said,everything happens for a reason. Take care love Terry

    Well Carol.....I'm with bill on this one....I pictured your day today being so much different...kinda like....Heart racing due to angiogram...not because your playing peek-a-boo under some old guys paper pants...(lol)...shame on u girl..Poor guy...Just imagine how he felt! Helplessly sitting there & some young girl peeping at his goodies! Imagine his journal entry!
    Although....I'm glad to hear you got a free thrill today....I hate you have to go back through it next week. But, look on the bright side....Maybe by next week either he will loose the paper pants OR there will be a new guy.......Never Know.....((u little peeper))
