In Hospital 2 Oct 06 --Got Lucky this Weekend

I got very lucky this weekend.   I came back to work Saturday and my truck would not start.  So I reported it to the  shop and after a few hours they towed it in.  All 4 batteries were dead.  It took them till 6pm to replace them.  They can be so slow sometimes.  Because of that, I did not leave with my  load that day.   So I stayed at the terminal.  If truck had started, I would have been about 200 miles down the road when

Sunday was a blurr.  I went to bed at 10pm Saturday night.  Only had an itch on the left side of my tongue.  At 11:30 pm I woke up.  the left side of my tongue was swollen.  I tried to sleep some more, but it kept swelling.  At midnight, I got dressed and went to the guard shack at the truck terminal.  I gave him a note telling my problem.  I could not talk due to my swollen tongue.  Ambulance showed up in about 10 minutes.  Was in the Emergency room for about 30 minutes before all blacked out.  I do remember having visiters last night. 

I can't talk.  Have to write things on a clipboard to communicate with everyone.

Today I woke up at 8am.   I started having bladder spazms and it turned out my catheter was stopped up.  I also been complaining that it toooo hot in this room.  They finally brought me a fan.  I'm enjoying the fan very much.

Mother and my boys came by at noon.  They will be back at about 5pm for next visitors hour.

They have determined that I have become allergic to one of my High Blood pressure meds.   I been on Lisinopril for 7 years and my body decides it is allergic this weekend.

Wow ~ What an amazing story. You ARE so blessed! 0:) How fortunate that there were other people around to help you get to the hospital so quickly and save your life. (Angelic intervention maybe?)
