Another grand adventure. Or something
Nov. 19th, 2015 08:15 pmStep one: get symptoms (palpitations, etc) and take the day off work to shake it off.
Step two: a couple days later, go to work even though you're not feeling very good
Step three: get more severe symptoms, including shortness of breath, and call the advice nurse
Step four, the glamorous bit: call 911 and get wheeled through campus by EMTs to the waiting ambulance
Step five: ?
Step six: PROFIT!
Spent most of yesterday and today in the hospital. Yesterday, they told me I was no longer in a-fib as I'd been when the EMTs got me.
Then they told me I had blood clots in my lungs.
Then they said never mind, no you don't, maybe in your legs.
No blood clots in my legs.
They think maybe I'm having more episodes of my heart conditions (SVT & A-fib), so they're going to put me on a monitor for a couple weeks to make sure.
Not fun, but I'm home, happily, and watching reruns of Columbo. It could be worse.
