 OT: Well, I Thought I Was Going To Meet God Yesterday

Well I didn’t think I was going to make it yesterday......I had a real bad episode with my heart and had to be rushed to the hospital by ambulance...Boy I real was scared I thought that this was it...I’m going....I kinda have to laugh at myself I should have been worried about meeting God but instead the whole time they were working me up, all’s I could think of was "I DIDN’T FEED MY LIZARDS" Man do I have lizarditis bad....I think I’ve got my priorities mixed up...I should have be thinking about meeting God and not be so worried about the damn lizards....LOL

I’m home now, I’m doing OK, just taking it real easy today...I’m still a little out of it....but I’m feeling better........My body feels like it’s been put through a washer machine wringer..I’m sore from be poked and prodded and stuck with needles....But the good news is I’m still here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess the big man upstairs didn’t want me yet...LOL....

Awwww Thanks guys.....I’m feeling better it just took a lot out of me..I’m wiped out......

But really I was scared this time..I thought that this is it I’m going... I didn’t even get to see John (my husband) and tell him I love him because he was at work and his work is 45 miles away.....My girls were at the house and they were hysterical..I was so out of it I didn’t know what was going on...One minute I’m staggering down the hall trying to get to my bedroom and the next thing I know I was in the back of an ambulance being rushed to the hospital....I was trying to tell them that if I code don’t defibrillate me because I already have a defibrillator implanted in my chest......Well they kept me for a while ran some test. My potassium levels were a little low so I think thats what did it..My heart is so sensitive to things like that.....I wish they had little machine to test you potassium level at home..I have one for my blood sugar but I need something for my potassium..My medicine I take to keep my blood pressure up also plays with my blood sugar & potassium levels.......so I can’t win I guess....

You know it things like this that really makes you sit down and think how fast life can be taken away from you...I aways live my day as if it were my last because I never know if I’m going to wake up and see the next day........:( I hate living like that but I guess if God wants me I can say no........

Annie, I’m so glad your ok and sorry you had to go through all that. I know how bad it can get to yoo when something like that happens. My mom has ovarian cancer and was recently diagnosed with diabetes. When she was on chemo there was some really scary moments. But she lives her life day by day and stays as optimistic and happy as possible. Sometimes it’s hard for the rest of us to follow her up-beat, but we all do our best for her. Hang in there and stay up-beat!! Take it easy and get all the help you can with the household stuff, yes I mean the lizards too, LOL. You’ll be in my prayers.

Glad you are OK Annie. I guess we shouldn’t put up with your loss, because you became really important to us all...

You mentioned taht you need to push a little your blood pressure to make it a little higher. If it is that way, I know that olives are great for increasing the blood pressure, as well as the salt.

Kitara, about your mama’s cancer, there are some natural medicine that can really give a hand in cancer treatment, sometimes, even help healing.

Annie, take care, because I will not accept you leaving us... I will go after you just to argue...

Thanks Buiatti,

I tell you I try everything to keep my blood pressure up...I’m the worst saltaolic(sp) there is...The medicine I take for my blood pressure is a type of steroids it make me retain fluid...Summer time I have to be real careful because I swell real bad with the hot temperatures out here..some days I can’t even get my shoes on my feet...but that doesn’t bother me to much...I go barefoot most of the time anyway..My poor feet are soooo tough I can walk on just about anything...LOL...

Oh dear!

Poco ... I’m sure you already know this but Bananas and tomato’s contain high levels of potassium. Have you tried chopping up a banana and eating it with your cereal in the mornings? It might give your body the potassium fix it needs to start the day?

I only know this because my dad had to cut out 90% of potassium from his diet.

About the de-fib .. don’t you wear a medi bracelet?

Glad you’re ok!

Thanks TD,
Yeah I know about bananas....I was eating them for awhile but I told my doctor that I felt like I was becoming a monkey..I was swinging from the trees out front in my yard and I was grooming John(my husband) and picking the fleas off of him....ROFLMAO

My doctor called me in some potassium pills...so I guess I’m back on the pills again...YUK...I hate pills

Oh my God thats awful. I am very happy that you are alright, things like that are terribly scary.
When you think you’re going to die it is the worst feeling in the world. I can’t even think about death sometimes. There’s so much I’d still like to do, see, experience, and just live.

I’ve had a time where I thought I was a gonner as well. Just about drowned once and my life flashed before my eyes and all I could think about was my family and how they would react. That gave me the push I needed to get my head above the water.
Then the other time when I would go into surgeries I would be worried because I’ve never been to happy about being put to sleep, but its still a good thing so I don’t feel the pain. >.<

I’m just glad that you are alright. ^______^
And I understand why you thought about your lizards, I would to. Back then I didn’t have my lizards so I thought just about family, but now my precious’s would most certainly be included.

(Gosh I realize that I need to come here more often, I keep missing out on things)

Hey Thanks guys....

Feeling a little better just going to take a while..this one really knocked me on my butt....This isn’t the first episode with my heart..I’ve been in cardiac arrest 5 times before..My first time I had a down time with CPR for 13 minutes..my husband John saved my life.....Well it a long story I’ll have to post it sometime....
Yes it is terribly scary sometimes But I just take each day as is comes and live each day as if it were my last...I always have a fear of going to sleep and never waking up I guess thats why I’m nocturnal....LOL.... I guess when God wants me he’ll take me I can’t argue with him...LOL....
