I went to visit my hubby at the hospital for about 15 minutes before he was carted off for surgical debridement of his right leg's wound. I was happy to give him a kiss and to see him again.
Let's just say on my way home, I didn't even get to the main highway. I got to about the main entrance to the hospital and I apparently just collapsed. All I recall is I felt a little stress in my chest for a brief moment and then I end up waking up in the ER.
Right now they're pumping my IV with fluids and giving me glucose and insulin and some calcium something. I'm not given much information but I was told by my nurse in passing that all this is to lower my potassium levels.
I still don't know if I just fainted or what. I might be here for a little bit, not sure how long. I'm on mobile right now. I'll give any updates about my condition and what happened as a comment. For now I'm going to ask my nurse for something for pain, my head and chest hurt real bad.
