It happened again people. The numbness, the eye blurriness, all of it happened again. So here I am, it’s 8:20 pm, and I have been here since around 10:30-11:00 this morning.
This time both my right arm and leg went numb, my right eye blurry and I had some very noticeable weakness in my right arm and leg. There was very minimal slurring of my words, and no pain or headache with the blurriness.
Also, I would like to add, that they have admitted me to the hospital, which is why these blog posts will be coming out all together dated properly. I have no idea how long I will be in here, most likely until Thursday when I have some more blood tests to do. My MRI should be scheduled sometime soon and I still have the ECG and the heart monitor tomorrow. DD will be coming up to stay with me, which will be nice because I hate being bored haha.
Missy has been with me all this time, she came with me this morning when we came to the ER. She is wonderful people, she stayed with me, helped keep me sae by making jokes, went and got my stuff from my house, brought me food, and is staying with me until she gets kicked out.
She. Is. Awesome.
Seriously.
Also Fred, one of the people at my house, came and drove Missy back with food, he is great. I couldn’t have picked better people to room with.
So basically my day has consisted of being hooked up to monitors, sitting on my ass, breaking out to out for fresh air (even if it’s freaking freezing out!!) and having a lot of giggles with Missy. I love having her around; I don’t think I’ve ever had so much fun in a hospital before.
I need to be out of here by next week, I have tests and exams and everything else, I also had a few projects that I was supposed to get done this week that I will be unable to do since due to the lack of internet access. *sigh* This kind of blows, ok no… it REALLY blows. Bah.
So I think that’s all I have for now,
Later days!

Day 2
Today I had a lot of tests. I had my echocardiogram, an ultrasound of my neck to make sure none of my veins had any kind of blockage, an MRI of my head and neck, and I’m also currently wearing my holter heart harness, which, let me tell you, is not stylish at all haha.
My MRI was a little nerve wracking, but I got over it and I’m hoping that it will turn up with something so I can get out of here faster.
So far the doctor tells me that he has no idea when I will be out. He said I will have to do some kind of physiotherapy because I still have weakness in my right side.
I have officially quit smoking, had my last smoke today and am now on Nicorette gum. And I will tell you that the mint flavour gets old fast haha.
Tomorrow I should get all the results from my tests and hopefully they come back with something positive, as weird as that sounds. I just want them to figure this out so I can get out of here. : )
Nice thing though is that DD made it today so I have been hanging with him and Missy which is nice since it’s hard to be bored when there are people around.
That’s all I have for now,
Later days!
P.S.
I have no idea how I’m going to sleep with this heart monitor on… holy wires galore.

Day 3
I might be getting out tomorrow!!! I’m so excited
All of my tests came back normal, go figure, but there are still some results that have to come back so we will see tomorrow if I am able to leave or not. I’m hoping I can leave haha.
I am currently sitting with DD in my room just chilling out. Missy has been home for a while, and she deserves it definitely. She has been with me pretty much all the time since I came in here on Monday, so she needs time to herself.
I want to get out of here so bad, I’m starting to go a little stir crazy here haha. But I am no longer hooked up to my heart monitor so I am happy
I found out I have access to the Internet now so I will be able to continue with some of my schoolwork, although when I found out I had access to it the first thing I did was check my Facebook.
I missed my Facebook.
There isn’t much to write about since I have pretty much done nothing all day.
Later days!
