Just got back from the ER.

[Guest guest]

And for the first time as long as I can rmember I was treated human.

I``ve been having such pain on and off in the last few days, right in my chest.

It hurt bad and was tender to the touch. Nearly threw up when the Doc pushed on

my stomeache in that area.

Than after a little while my blood pressure went up to 198/97, I started to feel

like I was going to pass out, and that my chest was going to blow apart. I was

actually thnking I might have been seeing my hubby for the last time.The pain

got so bad they had to hold me in bed. They wouldn`t let me sit up incase I

would faint, and it was killing me to lay down.

They told me that all my labs and test came back okay for the heart. They gave

me nitro and a good sized doze of Adavan, and my blood pressure started dropping

right away. I was so exhausted from the pain I started to fall asleep. YES to

all of you, pain will kill. I don`t think it would have been much longer befroe

I was a victim.

Doc thinks it was a muscle around the rib and back that was spasming big time.

He said those areas are all attacthed and we all know that.

So I didn`t want to go,because of the way they always look at it.,But this group

tonight was very understanding. My nurse is also toying around with the idea of

having a pump

The wonderful thing is that I could tell right where the pain was coming from, I

could pin point it down. I could have never did that before I had this pump. It

would have just hurt all over I am just so thankful that it is helping me some.

My life has chancge in so many ways.

Well I`m tired so I think I will let you all off the hook for tonight.

I`m hoping all of you had a good night, and a better day tomorrow.

Beenie, if you ever want to talk about the pump, send me and eamiil and I will

send you my number. I have signed up to be an advocate for Medtroic, in hopes I

can help others who are wondering about the pump

I would love to help whomever I can. Night to all, R.

Anne, how have you been doing!
