Hi Sweet Friends,
Well, It has been a Very Long,
Interesting and Difficult Week
Last Saturday at about 1 am I woke up not feeling well
By 2 am I decided to drive myself to the ER
I was having numbness and tingling in my mouth,
Lips and under my left arm
So, my mini hospital vacay began
Let me tell you that the view from my suite was gorgeous
Especially in the early morning hours
The sky was ablaze with fire
And if I didn't look too closely
I could almost convince myself I was waking up on the beach
With Palm Trees swaying in the morning breeze
Room service delivered meals to my bedside
Three times per day
And, If I needed anything at any other time
All I had to do was ring my bell
And some sweet person would come running to assist me
I received personal attention
And my body received many nice services
Massages were received while the MRI was banging away
I had what I think was acupuncture to relax my heart
*or maybe those were electrodes*
I enjoyed an awesome photo shoot of my heart
And, those fun games I got to play every two hours
Were just what I needed to rest my mind (HAHA)
It was a joy to try on many expensive pieces of jewelry
But in the end I decided to leave most of them behind
Although I did take home 2 cute bracelets
Oh, and while I was 'resting'
My son decided to cut himself
And guess what?
He got a personal ride to the hospital in an ambulance
Yep! It was an interesting vacay
Now, seriously
I am home with a medication change and doing very well
What they thought was a stroke in progress
Ended up being
Hypertensive Urgency and possible a TIA
They made a good blood pressure medication change
And I am responding to that very well
I go to my PCP in 2 weeks
I really am feeling well
My son, on the other hand
Has been transferred to a mental health facility
Where, I am praying, he is receiving some much needed
Therapy and counseling
We both have a very difficult road ahead of us
If he is insistent on making the changes in his life
That he has spoken of
My momma heart is still broken
I am overwhelmed with sadness and concern
But believing, all that we have experienced in the past week
Will lead to answers and a plan of action
For my son and myself
In other news:
My birthday is next week
And I am Just Praying for better days
I promise to get by and visit your blogs
And to answer your emails
I've just been trying to get through the days
You are a blessing to me
And I'm grateful for your visits
Finding JOY in the Midst
