to those that may have missed me

well this has been a bad year so far
Well to let all those that care know, I do thank you all for your interest and thoughts. Been going through some difficult times with a medical problem that has claimed much of my attention these past few months...

Things seem to be getting better then... BAMMM it's back again... have been to ER 3 times now this year... a first for me... and this last Thurs had to be taken to ER in an ambulance from work.... another first (lol the ambulance, not the work )... well long story short...

stomach pains and bloating feeling for the first 2 trips to ER and they finally determined it is Gall Stones... am waiting for them to schedule a surgery to get it removed...

well Thur. was lunch time for me (9:30a pst) and I started eatin my cereal, as I am on a low fat diet now. After a few bites, stomach started hurtin.. so stopped eatin, bent over the rest of my break to feel better. Went out to start workin again and had a sudden increase in pressure and pain from abdomen (stomach) almost collapsed... made it a couple hundred feet into office and almost passed out. Once was ensconced in a chair and the questioning began as to what I wanted done... I eventually started to feel ok, stomach wise that is... so stood up and shuffled around a bit... got sat back down and we were working out how I was going to get home... whether I would try and drive or have someone drive me home, when I noticed some swelling in my left bottom lip, then another on the right upper lip... tongue seemed fuzzy, then we noticed I was breaking out in hives....

so we immediately called 911... well don't know what to, but I had a severe allergic reaction to somethin... blood pressure dropped dramatically... 70/40... Paramedics were there within 5 mins and got me to Er, where I spent the next half a day...

they got my BP back up, gave me some stuff for the swelling and hives (benedryl), a shot of something else, couple IVs... hell can't remember what else...

so haven't been feeling to well these past few days and am praying come Monday will be able to get in and get looked at


Thanks all for your support and know I miss ya all and love ya all too.

Take care and be blessed.
Dave

    Geez Dave. Sending prayers and thoughts your way. I know what it's like, had my own gall issues just recently. It's a tricky little thing, but it will get better. Keep your chin up hun.

    Sending prayers and blessings to you! I know what the gallbladder thing is like, but once done the world is better.
    The rest, just hope it goes away as quickly as it came.
