Title: Just home from the ER (again!)
Post by: Bajanne on September 01, 2007, 08:11:48 PM
Well, I have been in the ER three times in the last three weeks.  The first time I had a strange numbness from my left hip to my foot.  It didn't last, but I thought I should check it out, and they did all kinds of tests - EKG,etc.
Last week, I was feeling really ill and again I went off to ER and when I got there, my BP was very low.  They did all kinds of stuff and then I felt better so I was off home.
I had to have dialysis today instead of Friday because of all the running around I have to do.  I had to go to Immigratioin since my time here is up August 31 if I don't have a job.  That is not sorted out as yet.   Also I have to move from my apartment - 10 years of stuff ain't easy!!
I had about 6 kilos over today!  when I left my BP was 93/56, but I was feeling okay so they let me go.
This afternoon, I was on my way to visit a family on the other side of the island who had something for me.  Halfway there, I had this horrible cramp in my right leg - the one I have to drive with.  I pulled to the side and phoned my friend, but there was no one home who could come for me.  I then called the ambulance.  I had to go outside and walk around.  I started to go away and I was even going to call the ambulance and tell them not  to bother, but when I went back in the car, the pain!!!!   They came and got me and once again my first BP was low, low.  I was there for a few hours.  They gave me something like valium which had me feeling as if I was in another dimension - woozy. 
Here I am back in my apartment - all the furniture gone except my computer desk and a chair.  Not a good feeling.

Bajanne I feel your pain Girlfriend! 

Hope you get better soon.  Carry around some chips or something salty.  That should bring your BP up or give you a stroke I'm not sure!   :popcorn;

Well, Immigration has kept my passport until the Min of Ed gives me a definite yes or no.  Then if it is no, Immigration will give me about 3 months to find another job.
I am still hoping that I will get my job back, since the students they said would be coming home for a job have not appeared, and they do need staff in my department.  Also my colleagues are going to the principal to demand that she do something about bringing me back.
I am cautiously hopeful right now.
