Another trip to ER last night...

I was having a lot of the same symptoms that had ended up putting me in MICU, so it was no small feat to keep from hitting the panic button.

I texted my youngest, hoping she would take me to ER, and as soon as she texted me back, I knew she had her EXABF over at the house. Ugh. She was cooking for them and couldn't take me.

So I drove myself, hoping I didn't upchuck in the car on the way.

Fortunately it turned out to be a nasty case of sinusitis, which was causing the dizziness/nausea, and they gave me something for the nausea, and a couple of scripts to fill for today.

They also ran labs again to recheck my values as compared to when I was so violently ill, and everything looked good

I'm just glad it wasn't worse, and I was able to get myself there and back last night.

As for my youngest? If nothing changes, nothing changes.

She's got her own lessons to learn, just like I have.

I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt. That's where self-inventory and prayer come in handy.

I had a lot of practice over 2 years time of learning he was first and foremost in her books.

I am glad the tests came back with good results and you're doing well.
It's a shame about your daughter - it's her choices, though, not yours. Still, I do recognize how difficult it must be for you.


Take care of yourself.

I think it was the universe's way of reaffirming what you said yesterday about overachieving vs. taking it easy. I'm not pushing myself anymore.

Amber likes to keep sticking her hand on that hot stove. It's easier than work on self at this point in her life.

Ugh.

What a scare. I'm glad it wasn't more serious.

Yes, take it easy. I can't even imagine refusing to take my mother to the ER. Ugh. That is on her, not you.

I'm so glad you're OK!

I know your daughter's response was hurtful...despite the fact that you weren't terribly surprised. We always have hope...that this time it will be different. And I'm sorry that it wasn't.

Take care of yourself and be well!

Thank God it was sinusitis and not a re-occurrence. I would be very scared if you'd ended up back in the hospital. Sorry that ABF is more important at this point. We can be such boneheads!

All I gotta say about your daughter's response is this: Karma is a Bitch.
