The physical ramifications of dealing with H in MLC.
I wound up in the ER today, my blood pressure went WAY up. (I've always been borderline high) My fingers on my left hand started to go numb, then my left arm started to ache. I was feeling lightheaded (I attributed that to the fact that I was off the cigarettes) So, after an EKG, CAT scan, blood work & chest X-ray, all of which turned out fine, I am now on high blood pressure meds! And I also got an RX for Xanex (don't know how to spell it, and since I took one I'm too mellow to care about my spelling!)
I was having such a GREAT day at work! After two days of worry about the possiblity that HE may show up at the house, as he had the last two days off, I had psyched myself up to just enjoy my day and not think about him. When I told the ER Doc my story, he said he's seen it before, that sometimes this kind of thing hits you AFTER the anxiety.
True to form H came today while I was working and took all of his hunting guns, gun cabinet and other gun related stuff.
I thought this might be valuable information for some people. The high blood pressure meds I'm on are the kind you DON't have to take the rest of your life if you get it under control. Funny thing is, H just had the same thing happen to him about 6 months ago. Only he's doesn't know that he caused his own stress by creating this tragic situation.
I'm smokin' a cigarette as I'm typing this. I'll quit again in a day or two.
Thanks for listening, and I hope this info helps someone else. I sure appreciate all the support I'm getting from you folks. It really helps to know that you all think I'm on the right track. And a special thanks to Marcika, who was there for me today. We went out to a late lunch after my trip to the ER. She's one of the friends I told you all about!
