Dude you are completly right and i was being a bit out of bounds but let emotions rule me so totally on me.
Was having a shit day and a shit evenining and took a break for my own sake buf all is well.
Got six stitches abouve my right eye today from an accident at work today but life happens.
Suck it up and roll on right
You guys crack me up and make life enjoyable and accually help lower my blood pressure.
I also had a medical adventure. I would like to call it Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events.
June 11, I had all my teeth removed and got temporary or healing dentures that will be adjusted over time. Then a final set will be made from that. The dentist gave me Amoxycillin because it was a broad spectrum that could get the dosage level he wanted. I had been taking that all last week, 3 a day.
Thursday night, we had a storm blow through that took my patio cover off the house and knocked it down on my charcoal grill (which did survive.) And the power went out at 9:30 pm. I get up in the morning and go to work.
I get home Friday evening and the power is still off. I go over to a dollar general and get some of their pudding off the shelf. I go back home and eventually, the power is back on by 9:12 pm.
Saturday, I get up and eat some of that pudding. Chewing on a banana slice hurts. An hour later, I start getting the runs. I am tired and weak and almost passing out.
Sunday, I get up at 6:30 am and get the corrugated metal roof of the collapsed cover off and into my 5'x10' trailer. Worn out. So, I go to visit my wife at the facility where she lives, right across from a hospital. And then I go back home.
I have an OMRON home BP monitor because I have high blood pressure and take Lisinopril. I had measured earlier Sunday and it read low. I thought maybe it was operator error. I get back home and measure twice. 68/47. So, I go back to the hospital near my wife because it is in my insurance plan. And go to the ER. They read me at 84/48. Still way too low.
I get a holding room in the ER while they take blood and start a bag of fluid. At about 11:38 (I have to get up at 4 am to be at work by 6 am,) they let me know I am being admitted. I call my bosses, the owner of the company I work for. They are both sound asleep with phones turned off. It is necessary to call them. I am the op mgr. I open the place and get with the crews and exchange information, etcetera, new work assignments and off they drive (they drive the company vehicles home.) About 5:20 am, they are wheeling me to the ICU. They have a room available. Still no sleep.
During the day, Monday, people back and forth. Dealing with work on my work mobile. Just after lunch, they get me to a regular room. On up to dinner. Finally, at 8 pm, istart to get some sleep. About 2 to 3 hours at a time, getting up to pee now and then and still pour some green water out the other orifice. Getting heperin shots, etc. Finally, about 5:30 in the morning, I wake up and have a slightly solid BM. Progress.
My numbers stabilized and my resting BP was 112/60. I have to stop the BP med for now and follow up with my doctor, across the street from there.
Gastroenteritis. The bad pudding was out of date. You can have GE and not know it if your immune system is strong and kicks it out. My immune system was depressed from the Amoxycillin killing bacteria in my gut. The BP med dehydrates, even though I drink water all the time. Then the GE dehydrates, as well as the runs. So, GE with dehydration.
So, I have to take on more antibiotic for a week and take probiotics, which I never did. And start drinking stuff like Gatorade Zero.
I lost 10 pounds in a week. Now, I am down to a wispy 250.
Short version, it was Gastroenteritis. I had a gut feeling.
