Just When You Thought it Was Safe to Go Back in...

[lydamorehouse]

 Shawn's blood pressure started climbing this morning. 

She rechecked it a bunch of times and each time the numbers went UP instead of down. I dropped her off at the emergency room at 11 am.

Last I heard they were going to give her an EKG. She was sure she would be fine and that they would send her home once they had the all clear. I'm not... entirely worried yet? It's only been an hour since I left her at the front door?

But, FFS, 2020. Go home, you're drunk.

----------------------------

UPDATE: She is home again. Guess what the doctors said? GUESS??

Yep.

"A blood pressure spike is... probably a new migraine symptom."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

FUCK 2020.

I hope by the time this comment posts you'll have been called to take her back home.

You worked good magic with your comment. Probably just as you posted!

*Endless screaming but not so loud that it will aggravate Shawn's migraine*

[lydamorehouse]

Oh man, I'm so sorry for all the stress. Here's wishing y'all the best. *support support support*

Oh, thank goodness!

That was my first thought too but I did not feel you needed to be made aware of it.

Also, they are doctors,THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING USEFUL.

FUCK THIS FOR A GAME OF SOLDIERS.

"A blood pressure spike is... probably a new migraine symptom."

WHUT? and honestly an unexplained super-high spike is NOT something I have ever personally heard described as a migraine symptom.

[lydamorehouse]

thank you!

[lydamorehouse]

No kidding. But, good news today: Shawn got a new GP who seems to be very enthusiastic about tracing all the problems to their source. Go, Dr, Bakken!

[lydamorehouse]

No, me neither. We have a new doctor now, however, who seems to be taking this stuff more seriously. So, this is a big yay!
