Hello again everyone. Lately I’m trying not to be a sob story but I’m failing miserably. I had an amazing vacation for my 50th birthday, I laughed a lot really had a good time. My daughters and grandkids were part of my celebration. Wednesday 28 it was time for my friends to go back to their country, I was leading them to the car rental return at the airport. Out of the blue I started to feel weird, I got confused, my limbs felt heavy, I felt icy cold water coming down my head to my neck. I missed my exit to the airport, I drove to the coming up exit, I put my blinker signaling left for my friend who was following me, getting to the exit I started to see orange flicks and then nothing, I was blind. I managed to park on the shoulder, my friend was calling me trying to understand what had happen, I declined her call in order for me to call 911. I informed the operator that I wasn’t feeling good, that I was blind, she insisted for me to give her the exact address, I couldn’t see I asked her to find me trough my phone, her answer was “ lady this is not a movie “ she really p!ssed me off. I told her that I will call back, I got my sight back, drank water. I managed to lead my friends to the airport, once done I drove 40 minutes to the hospital near my house. Everything seems like in slow motion, far, blurry. When I got there my blood pressure was 247 over 168, I was in trouble. I learned in a brutal way that stress creates cortisone and that is the culprit for strokes and heart attack’s. Now I know. I was scared, I’m still. I don’t want to freaking die. The human body is an amazing machine. I’m with high blood pressure pills, I had to slow down a lot.
