Wow What A Ride...Not M/C

[GolfVenture]

Wed. Plan surgery to remove 3 remaining pins in my left wrist. Plus removed some scar tissue from Surgery from June 2012. Blood pressure about 130 over something normal.

Back home about 8:00 pm stayed up till 1:00 watching J Leno and took a pain pill. Went to bed

Woke up 7:00 am. Walked with wife about 180 feet round trip to the detached garage to get the blood pressure unit. Put new batteries in.

 

Came in the house and sat down and 1st blood pressure read was 77 over 50.

Hmmm. Must be a malfunction. 2nd read was 75 over 50. hmmm whats wrong with this thing.

Put on wife and it read 130 over 85. hmmm seems to work.

So put it on me and this time the unit gave some error message.

 

Then it started. Light headed, weak, Wife is rubbing my chest, head, yelling at me to wake up. She called 911. I was golng in and out faintly. Head her try to give direction.

I said over 1st speed bump, immediate right then left 2nd gate. I also said bring the barf bucket incase I throw up.

 

911 came in a couple of minutes. About 1 miles up the road. Took my pressure Still low 80 over something. They gave me 4 chewable aspirins. Felt little better. Got me on a stretcher. Blood pressure going up some.

 

To the hospital. Full 10 yards of test. All the simple and small stuff then Ct scan on the brain showed possibly something…MRI showed nothing. Heart scan showed nothing. Back home Sat noonish. All during the hospital stay just a tiny bit of lightness in the head. Blood pressure between 102 to 160 over some other number. Part of the high blood pressure is due to hand surgery. Felt great today.

 

Going to take it easy for a while. Like I said what a ride.

Brian, PLEASE take care of yourself. You seem to want to do things too fast, or too many things on your plate. Slow down, take your shoes/slippers off, and allow others to care for you.

 

If your wife goes back down to Cal., and you need...ANYTHING...give me a call.

Take care of your bad self, stay hydrated and get good rest. Those uncoated aspirin should be in everybody's pack and while bitter if chewed will go to work quickly.
