I think I had a stroke, but not having been to the doctor, I can only guess. It kind of felt like high blood pressure as I could feel my heart beating or I could feel it in my head, not in my heart. I have no idea what that means or meant.
I would say I am better today, and I have been up until now. I am starting to feel to onset of it coming on again.
I am at home now, I believe it is the next day but I can't be sure. I told my boss that I might not be feeling well and he sent me home. That's the good part. The bad part is, on the way home, I thought I would try to get a doctor's appointment. I didn't think I could on such short notice. There was an opening. So, instead of getting to enjoy my day off, I went to the doctor.
The doctor was 20 minutes late in seeing me. She wanted to know why I was not seeing my regular doctor. I told her because I can't get an appointment to see him anymore, but that's a long story. She was very good though, too good. She did all kinds of tests on me to see if I was having a heart attack or a stroke. In the end, she found nothing but told me to go check myself into the hospital. Not sure how one goes about checking themselves into a hospital but the gist of it is, I went to the emergency room and waited 5 hours before a doctor came to see me. Not a lot of fun in that.
Maybe it is a sign that I am old, but the doctor was very young and very jovial and happy to see me. It was annoying, especially since I had been there for 5 hours already. She asked me lots and lots of questions, did the same tests the GP did, then had me wait for another hour to get an x-ray of my heart. Waited another hour, then she told me to go see my doctor and give him a letter saying they had found nothing wrong. She also told me the imagining clinic will be calling me next week to set up an appointment to have something scanned. Not sure what. She said all the tests were normal or negative and I was free to go. There was nothing wrong with me that they could find. So what, 7 or 8 hours to tell me I am fine and nothing is wrong. Doesn't explain the incident or the issues I have had. Didn't recommend any changes or further tests they can do. Just go home, if it happens again, come back. So I went home.
Now, I have an appointment to see my doctor, my real doctor that I have not been able to get an appointment with for two years, because I have a letter from the hospital that says I need to see my doctor. That is next Wednesday, which means I have to take off work again. And I have the imaging people going to call me for another appointment I will have to take off work for. Probably going to be in my days off I am planning in two weeks for the EKKA. So, so much for the five days off with nothing to do. And all because I said I wasn't feeling well. Teaches me to not say anything in the future unless I am unable to speak and laying on the floor.
But now it is Saturday, and we had plans to go to the Gold Coast and see the new Costco, but that was cancelled since Juanita decided I needed to rest. The new Costco is near Dreamworld at a new shopping center that is there that we have never been to, or we went to it but didn't have time to look around. Maybe another day.
By the way, the dog has gone crazy. It is constantly staring at the floor looking for spots of light so it can chase them. This might not be so strange, but the dog is constantly looking at the floor watching for spot of light so it can chase them. Not sure why he has decided there are spots of light to chase, but he has been doing it for a number of weeks now and I only mention it because he is standing next the chair, staring at the floor again.
Maeghan and William are playing some game on the Xbox. Not sure what it is but they sometimes play Minecraft together and I think it might be one of the offshoots of that. It has dinosaurs in it but I think Maeghan said she built it so I am not sure what game there is that you can build dinosaurs and ride them. Looks a lot like Minecraft though.
That's all I have to say for now. I have to go take a shower and get ready to go shopping. Even we are not going to the new Costco, I still need to go shopping for stuff. Probably just going to the local shops, Morayfield, so it will be really boring and not a lot of fun. But I still need to go shopping. Juanita just mowed the grass so she might be ready to go. Then again, she will probably have to take a shower also, so it will be a couple of hours before we leave.
By the way, I am on the home computer, not a laptop or at work and I have found that I can really type again. Not like when I do it at work or when I try to type on a laptop, but a real keyboard and it seems to be going very well. Not many mistakes I have to go back and correct. Or, at least, I have not noticed them and I seem to be typing with some of my old speed. My hands have gone numb, but I think that is because the keyboards feet have broken off and it is at the wrong angle to type. But I am keeping up a fairly speedy pace.
But that's all for now. Have to go shower and get some of the glue off where they attached all the leads last night. It was very painful taking them off, pulled all the hair off. You can see it on the patches of skin it took also.
Ok, time to fry.
Until next time,
Later
Remember
It will all be ok in the end, and if it's not ok, then it's not the end.
