<\/a><\/p>\nIt came down with medication and has stayed down: body reboot.<\/p>\n
YEA!<\/p>\n Despite a childhood climbing trees, skating, running, playing all manner of sports…I’ve not had the occasion of being an ER patient until this past weekend.<\/p>\n It was an enlightening experience.<\/p>\n Because I had very high blood pressure ( I went to a local Urgent Care facility first ) … as well as some chest pressure issues (seriously, I attributed them to sinus related issues from the smoke and dry air) – I was moved – at the speed of light- to a trauma room and hooked up to all manner of equipment. Blood was drawn. <\/p>\n And then…a man was admitted to the unit next to me…separated by a curtain…and before they had a chance to gown him, he had a combination seizure\/heart attack. But they revived him. And administered all the things they do…and he had a second seizure\/heart attack – but, they revived him.<\/p>\n As anyone can imagine, it was unnerving to have to listen and watch a bit … there was a window and reflection. <\/p>\n I was praying for the man, for his wife who was in the room, for me and for the care team…the entire ER staff was involved.<\/p>\n Incredibly, after each attack, the man was speaking coherently – asking for his wife. His wife was there and answered confidently: “I’m here, honey!”. Her poise and her staying – she thanked the ER crew for letting her stay – such courage! She’d moved to a corner out of their way. It was VERY obvious that it was important to both her husband and her that she be there.<\/p>\n Then, it was decided that he would be moved to a hospital approximately 15 miles away – a hospital that had a cardiac unit. I was both grateful and fearful. This man had had two serious events that took the entire ER staff to deal with – what if he had an event in transport. And it was obviously crucial that he had contact with his wife. She could not ride with him – she had friends who took her and an ER nurse went with the ambulance.<\/p>\n I somewhat witnessed the transport and heard details and later found out that he arrived at Kalispell Regional as did his wife. Beyond that I will likely not know. I continue to hold them in prayer. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, my own blood pressure slowly dropped, despite what was happening beyond the curtain.<\/p>\n And while a medication was a bit delayed, due to those happenings, after given, my blood pressure continued dropping and after four hours in the ER, I was cut loose with a prescription, direction to contact my primary care physician and the OK to drive myself home.<\/p>\n I slept VERY well that night and despite being in the house for longer than normal, so did Bear and Auggie.<\/p>\n And my blood pressure has been normal, since.<\/p>\n Body reboot via medication.<\/p>\n Mind reboot via … focus on good health trumps everything else ??? Don’t know, only know that at this time, I feel very well.<\/p>\n Yea!<\/p>\n Mind and body rebooted and on we go.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
