Well first I would like to thank everyone who has prayed for my trip and me. I did land myself in the hospital and it was the worse experience ever. I hate pain and usually can handle some chest discomfort but it was way to over powerful for me the other day so I landed myself in the worse ER ever.
I don't believe that I am a person with a attitude but can get one when you sit on a monitor for so long and not having one person walk into the room asking how you are doing. After some time I finally spoke up when I heard the nurse tell the knew nurse that I was not having any chest pain. I told them that I was but clearly they didn't know how to treat me so it was pointless telling them. I called my dr office back at home on my cell phone to see if they could call and tell them that I needed a pm check that I had got near something I probably shouldn't have and it was hurting. As I was talking to the nurse on the phone my nurse comes in and starts yelling at me for calling me medical staff. I got off the phone and told the lady that I had every right to talk to my drs. There was not a cell phone sign anywhere present not to be used. She then said for my age I had a aweful attitude and needed to get over myself. I couldn't believe that. I looked at her and said place yourself in my shoes and then talk. This was a so called nurse.
I called my parents and told them that I had been sitting for over 12 hrs in pain and not getting any treatment or even a glass of water. I decided to check myself out and not waste anymore money. They wouldn't even check out my medical records which my dr had a special note saying what to do if I started to feel weak. Ha and the other funny thing they told me that I was not being paced at all and had no reason to have the pm. Though I have no P Wave.
Well after getting in contact with my drs once I left I did a phone check and was clearly around something I shouldn't have been. Have no idea what it was. I am being paced almost always missing the P Wave b/c I have no SA Node. My syncope was also acting up and the first thing they told me to do is go get a gatorade and drink. After I had that in me and a water I felt so much better. My heart is out of sync a little but as long as I don't let myself get dehydrated I should be fine. What a experience that I never want to face again. Makes me greatful for my dr's back home and knowing that they know my situation so well.
Many love and thoughts to all! I hope that each of you are having a great week and I can't wait to catch up with everybody.

Blessings!
