Things I have learned in the past week:
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
I am fine. I have no major blockages, but likely some micro ones.
I have IV and Cardio Cath bruises: one on each arm.
I actually feel no different than I have for the past several weeks, but at least I am out of that damned johnny…
I am, for now, anyway, on ❤ meds and baby aspirin. Special thanks to my father-in-law who has my back and told me exactly what to expect from them…
I am chalking this up to my list of November Distemper:
Note: I always hate to think about the recurring shitty Novembers because November, 1994 was the BEST November ever because I became a Mom to Harrison who is a gem of a guy. In fact, when I called to tell him what was going on he made me promise to take a baby aspirin and never drink a Diet Coke again. ❤
So…
Ladies: Listen to your body. I assumed that my symptoms were nothing other than the side effects of life and actually went to the doctor to see if I was anemic or something.
I did not have a ❤ attack…but all signs pointed to it.
❤ issues look very different in women than they do in men. Don’t think that because the pain isn’t crushing that it doesn’t mean something.
Join me in trying to do something I’ve always sucked at: not sweating the small stuff. If nothing else, this week reminded me of that.
If you partner insists you go to the ER, go. (Aside: if you tell the triage nurse about the chest pains, you get taken right away.)
And, yes, as soon as I could get my wrist wet (that is how they got to my ❤ ) I washed my hair, grabbed People Magazine, sat under my new dryer and took.my.time.
