So on Friday I had a heart attack. Fast forward to yesterday when I went in to see my therapist/doctor. My therapist was worried and traced down my doctor who had the nurse call 911. They got there in minutes, They did an ekg and it was showing tachycardia yet again. I gave my purse and phone to Kharizma and they told her where I was going. This was my first ambulance ride and let me tell you I can do without. They put an iv in my left wrist and hooked me up to another ekg. On the way to the hospital they gave me 2 nitro and that helped a little but I still had pain and pressure in my chest and down my left arm.

Kharizma got to Providence before we did. It was a storm of taking blood, asking questions, taking my clothes off and I can’t really remember all that happened. They put a regular iv on the inside of my arm about halfway between my wrist and elbow. They gave me a shot of something which sped up my heart instead of slowing it down. A little bit later they gave me another shot which seemed to help slow my heart down. I won’t give you a blow by blow because it’s boring and pointless, so I’ll just say I hate going to the hospital.

I got home last night, I only stayed in overnight. But ugh. 11ish holes later, chest xrays, ekg’s, ecg’s, a catscan of my chest and dye injected, an angio and various other things that I can’t remember. And everyone tells me they don’t know why, there are no blockages or damage. So they don’t know why it happened. They don’t know why my pulse is up or certainly why we’ve been fighting with it since January.

I have to explain my lyme disease to everyone in order to explain my constant pain and the twitching, shaking and spasms. And then they stare at me like they have no idea what I just said, or stare at me and say “interesting” “huh”. It’s incredibly frustrating to be told the tests came back fine and we don’t know, over and over. It’s even more frustrating to have a doctor tell me that sometimes there aren’t any answers and things happen and they never know why.

So yeah. I have no answers at all. I’m tired and exhausted and I think I picked something up from the hospital. My lymph nodes are all swollen and sore and my body hurts worse today than it normally does. My stomach is cramping and has shooting pains and I have a fever. Yay. So that’s my bitchy post for awhile. I apologize if this post is all over the place. My brain hasn’t been functioning well for awhile, and it’s been even worse since Friday.

Since those of us not hosted by blogger are losing Google Friend Connect at the end of March I’ve decided to just take it down and switch over to the Google+ widget. Google+ widget is supposed to be our GFC replacement. You can add my page to your circles and give my blog a +1. Giving it a +1 will add you to the widget similarly to the GFC widget. So if you like my blog, I would greatly appreciate you using the Google+ widget on the sidebar. Go go +1!

On that note, I’ve been sick and seem to be getting sicker by the day. I have strep and a lung infection or something going on. My lungs are going snap, crackle, pop. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow so we’ll see what she says. So everything has been posted late. Also don’t forget to do a look for the weekly makeup challenge! Link is on the sidebar to the right. This weeks theme is Dragons.

Yesterday I think was quite possibly one of the worst days I’ve had in a long time. I can’t even begin to describe the pain and panic I was in most of the day. It got worse towards the evening and lasted throughout the night. I’m just now starting to feel a little better. I had planned on writing up a couple of reviews and making a blog post. That however wasn’t happening. My arms/shoulders were hurting so bad that it was extremely painful to even move my mouse, let a lone type.

My mom took Kai to work yesterday morning, got about 2 blocks from his work and lost power steering. She said there was a huge puff of smoke and the power steering died. Come to find out the serpentine belt broke/shredded/something. Which is bad. Kharizma and Spencer called their AAA and they had it towed to Spencer’s work. Thankfully the towing was free. Though they looked at it and it’s going to cost $150 to replace the belt and repair the damage. I swear. Every time things work out financially, something else happens. We were going to pay Kharizma and Spencer back for the towing LAST time the car broke down, and we were going to pay Ben the $60 back for rent. Now I’m not sure what we’ll be able to do beyond paying for the car.

On the plus side, my shampoo/conditioner bar samples arrived yesterday. I’m super happy with them. They smell like the Black Raspberry Vanilla from Bath & Body Works and they didn’t irritate my skin at all. Though I did somehow spill a drop of Kai’s shampoo on my arm. It was on there for a couple of seconds maybe before I got it washed off. It left a small dime sized rash that is super itchy and bumpy. Yes my skin is that sensitive now. That’s why I’ve been desperate to find something natural I can use. Now if only my deodorant from Etsy would come. When Kai gets paid on the 23rd I’m going to buy some tooth soap off Etsy. I’ve heard really good things about it and I can’t keep using normal toothpaste. I can’t use a lot of natural ones either. They frequently sweeten them with stevia or add extracts I can’t use. So I’m hoping this will work well.

As soon as I’m able, I have reviews to type up for some massage creme, sliquid splash, the shampoo/conditioner bars and some adult products. I even have a fotd to upload. However it’s on my desktop and I’m sick in bed using the old crappy laptop that refuses to actually stay connected to the wireless.
