Hawkeye goes to the hospital! |
|
|
Friday night, i hurt my back at work, tried to pick up something that was heavier than it looked. After getting home, my gut starts hurting, i start sweating like crazy, and eventually my arms and face start tingling like they're falling asleep. I am also having trouble focusing at this point, so i call 911 in the hopes of getting some advice.
After giving the dispatcher the wrong address (i gave the one across the street where my mail goes) and chasing down the ambulance, i am driven to the hospital and wait on the ambulance stretcher in the waiting room for two hours, in a lot of pain and breathing heavily. By the time they take me in, most of the pain has subsided, but i can't sleep anyway. Next thing you know i've got an IV in my arm (i dislike needles as it is, so a permanent one was not something i was happy about), blood tests have been taken, and the doctor comes in saying that my blood sugar is high and i might be diabetic. Joy.
After that, i basically just waited as they did more blood tests, found out that my blood sugar was fine after the incident, and tried to figure out whether or not i was diabetic. Turns out i'm probably not, but they want to do some follow up to check for thyroid problems.
So yeah. How's your weekend going?
