Something Bad
I've been MIA for a few days. We only have half of our staff working this week, so it appears I'm doing the work of two people! Lucky for me, it's been easy so far. I've only had about 3 waking hours to spend with FG since he got home.
But that's not the bad part. I called my sister on Tuesday night and she tells me she had been in the hospital for two days. So I'm thinking.... omg, something happened to nephew.... blood clot... oh my god.... and she tells me it wasn't nephew it was HER. She collapsed at work and her heart stopped beating. She turned blue. Luckily, she works in a doctor's office, and the doctor happened to be there to perform the chest compressions and cpr to revive her. They are going to do more testing to find out what's wrong with her. So far, they don't know.
So ever since she told me, I can't get the "blue and pulseless" image out of my head. I was in manic and panic mode after that. One moment I felt okay and the next moment I was in tears thinking of what almost happened to my sister and worried it's going to happen again. I didn't sleep much that night and had an all-day depo yesterday. I performed the first half of my day in a panic attack. I called sis, talked briefly, and then I started to relax a little after that. Couldn't eat all day. When I got home, FG took me to dinner, and my body started to shut down. When we got home at 6:30 p.m., I went to bed.
I'm feeling a tad better today after my 12 hours of rest. My day is a little easier today. My blood pressure was great on Monday, and has just gotten worse as the week wears on. That's not going to go over too well at my doctor's appt. on monday.
FG brought home lots of Belgian chocolate. Shame on him. It's a good thing I don't like chocolate, but what I do like is PRETTY food, and this is pretty. I keep nibbling on the pieces. They are beautiful! I should have taken a picture before I nibbled them all. He also brought me a Murano (sp?) vase, trinket dish, and charm from Venice. Lovely stuff!
