You never know when some unexpected event will pop-up and change your life forever. Yesterday I went in for a routine Dr.'s appointment and was immediately she told me to get to the emergency room and check myself into have myself monitored. My BP was 228/140 and for years its been 180/around the century mark. Well this really scared me and I had to take a deep breath and take it all in. I had a friend take me and I checked myself in and the long nightmarish night began. The Dr came into my room three times and told me it was normal. He told me the first time he was going to have me stay for another day just to make sure. Now I was finally checked in and hooked up to the machine that monitors everything they were interested in at about 7:00. i tried to sleep but the bed was so narrow I was terribly uncomfortable and had nightmares as well as an area on my right calf has gotten infected and it hurt terribly. All in all I was not getting any rest . At about 10 minutes to midnight the nurse came in to check on me and let me go to the restroom. I was just settling back down when he came back in and asked me how would I like to be dischrged? I called my friend and the vehicle she had available before was no longer available to come get me. Bless her heart tho she made umpteen calls and found a friend of hers that was available and they came to get me. From the time I was disharged and she was able to find someone it was 4-1/2 hours. What a story to tell though. My BP was normal on all reports and they had me on constant watch, and the Dr felt comfortable letting me go home. I feel this was of God as a couple days ago I asked God to help me get my health issues under control and this was an eye opener. I would ask all my freinds to pray for me and keep me in that little place in your heart so I may do what He wants me to do to get back to being me again.
