So, naturally, if I get any pain in my arm, I am totally thinking BLOOD CLOT. Which was not the case after they did an Ultrasound and a CT. However, with so many deaths lately, I am not going to wait until I am on death's bed to take care of myself. We pay health insurance every month, which means, I'm going to use it. As far as me not being able to catch my breath, well, that's another story.
They did some type of oxygen test on me while I was walking with the nurse. The doctor said that normal oxygen level should be at 100. Mine was down to 91. That is was the reason for me being sent to Baltimore because of my symptoms I told her about, my doctor said she was not risking it. I could easily have a clot in my lung or heading that way.
I also had an EKG done and it was normal. My Ultrasound and CT were fine as well. No negative stuff. So, now I have a followup appointment on Friday, which I'm fine with that but let me tell you. I need to lose weight. It's quite simple.
I am downloading the Weight Watchers app on my phone as soon as I finish this post.
My poor husband, when I'm in the hospital laughing - he's very serious. He said I don't want my wife to leave me so get better. He's right, he's the love of my life. I could never see myself living life without him and I mean that. He is my everything.
I'm off to download this app and make better choices tomorrow when it comes to eating and my health. Here's a picture of me as soon as I made it to the hospital.
