Greetings and salutations from the second floor of our local healing institution. I am lying around being lazy and indolent and dining on the remarkable conglomeration of food stuffs from downstairs. Actually the food isn't too bad so that's not really a complaint. Why am I here? I woke up on Tues. morning and my heart was hammering so hard I thought for sure I was having a heart attack. As it turned out it was afib and diabetes. They managed to get my heartrate down from close to 200 beats a minute to the low 100's ...not great but much better. I am lucky. Very lucky. It could have been much worse.
So, hi. :)
Just a little reminder ___enjoy all you can while you can.
Get well soon :( And I will take your advice. Thank you for posting.

ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself, goldie!
Aww feel better my flamingo friend! *hugs*
ReplyDelete*hug * Take care! I am struggling with diabetes. I never had any symptoms before this last month, and apparently I've been doing everything wrong! (apparently I need to eat more, not less. First time I've ever been told that in my life! LOL)
ReplyDeleteI shall heed every word you say.
And you: Get better, please. *hug hug hug*
It's strange how the world works isn't it? Back in '99 I had the worst seizure of my life and it did it's darndest to kill me. In fact it did but my partner and the EMT's managed to bring me back. I have never been the same because of neurological and physical damage from that experience. It wasn't too long after that I lost my partner and life took another hard turn. It was around then that Matt insisted that I get and use a computer.
ReplyDeleteI am beyond glad that he did as this was how I met all of you and honestly that has been one of the most positive life affirming experiences for me.
Over the past few days I have also been given the gift not only of life but the realization that people can and so often are beyond kind.
When I was taken to the hospital after the seizure [the last as the medications control them now] in '99 I wasn't treated well by the ER staff. This little town is tough and ornery or at least it used to be and I was mishandled as so many were around here then. This time the entire staff was so kind and supportive. I have witnessed a nearly complete turnaround in the way they care for their charges. This gives me hope.
And your support and caring give me great, well, support and caring. * smile * You make things so much brighter.
Oh, Goldie, you light us all up. (That sounds like a drug reference, lol). I love you, and I want to keep you around! I am glad things have improved. How long are you going to be in the hospital?
DeleteI am home now. I have been resting and that is apparently what I will be doing for at least the next 3 mos. as they have me taking more stuff and this stuff puts me at risk of injury. Joy. But I will attempt not to complain [too much] and find things of an even more sedentary nature to occupy myself. * sigh *
ReplyDeleteTy all for your support. :)
And Miki? I love you, too.
