Had to call ambulance.  I was very constipated in the moening as Brett was leaving.  I started bleeding A LOT.  I mean several cups.  Brett took keys to car.  I started having thid wierd noise in the back of my head.  I thought it was outside my head but it was in it.  Then tingling numbness all over.  In abulance very low blood pressure and shallow breathing.  Doc said needed electolytes. In the hours upon hours I was there they took cat scan and xrayed ankle.  They wanted me to spend the night but Kelsey was home alone - scared.  I never got results from tests.  Supposed to find out tomorrow from pcp.  Said I could have had mini stroke.  Checked myself out.  Still wierd noise in my head - like a rainstick moving real slow and tingling.  Taking it easy.  Don't panic and scare me.  See doctor tomorrow. Who knows what it all means.  Deanna, please call after five my time. roxy39175.5265625Oh, Roxy.  My heart is just breaking for you.  Please take care of yourself. You and Kelsey are in my prayers.Roxy,
What a weird bunch of symptoms! No wonder you're worried. I hope
you get some answers tomorrow.
Taking it easy today sounds like a very good plan.
Do you have a friend who could come stay w/ you tonight?
Good luck tomorrow.Owww...That sounds terrible! I'm not sure what to say except I'm rooting for you. 

roxy, have you started any new medication recently? did you loose blood from having a bowel movement or your period? narcotics can cause extreme stomache problems,constipation and pain. did they give you an iv for your dehydration? did that help you feel better?  Boy these medications we take are scary, sometimes i wonder if the side effects of them arent worse than the disease itself? let us know how your doing, take care of yourself!

Oh my gosh, Roxy.  I am so sorry to hear about all the events you have been thru.  I am praying for you and hope for the best of reports from the pcp.  Keep us posted! 

Sending love and hugs!

Did you check out against medical advice? Or did they just let you go home? I agree that you really need to have someone with you.

My prayers are with you.

Much love,

Nini

 

OH MY GOD!! How scary!! I'm real sorry to read this Roxy. Did you try to at least reach your family? I really can't stand the thought of you there all by yourself.

Try to update us soon. This really is worrisome. I'll say a prayer right now that you're going to be ok. Please try to get some rest.....and drink some fluids. They did give you an IV at the hospital didn't they?

They didn't even tell you if your ankle was broken? What the heck kind of operation are they running down there?

Please check in soon or have Deanna update us.

ohh roxy, im soo sorry your having to go through all this.  Did Brett go w/ you to the hospital?  Im sure Kelsey was scared as im sure were you... Keep us updated on how you are feeling hun...

If I'm not mistaken; Brett left before all this happened. (Good Riddens)

He also left with the keys to the car.

thats what i thought, my brain is not working lately (shut up all yall) so i was a bit confused

Why would he leave w/ the keys to the car? doesnt that screw Roxy out of a car?

I will be praying for you Roxy.Brett left with the mailbox keys also.  I keep hearing chains in my head.  It is so wierd.  My family will not take my animals and Kelsey gets really scared if I leave her.  Yes I had a couple IVs.  I had my heart checked.  I checked myself out of the hospital, they made me sign a release.  I pray I get MRI results tomorrow.  They think I may have had a mini stroke. I am having very strange symptoms but I called the med transport and they are taking me to doctor tomorrow.  Right now just wierd electrical impulses in my head and arms and wierd change rattling in my head.  I really can't describe it.  My family won't take my animals.  I have no one to take care of them.  My daughter knows to call 911.  That hospital sucked.  I will know more tomorrow.  Thanks you guys.

Do know any of your neighbors yet where they would be able to stop and check on them at least? Or is there any way that someone in your family can come down for a little while till you get everything straightend out? 

 

I'm so sorry Roxy. You are in my prayers.

Just talked to Roxy. She's in much better shape tonight. She's hoping to go to the hospital in Portland tomorrow and have Kelsey stay with her brother and board the big dogs.

I'm going to try and stay in touch with her and her family so if she's not around to post all of you who love her so much will know she's still ok.

She was in such a better frame of mind tonight.
Thanks Deanna for letting us know that.  You are a true friend to Roxy, she's sure not having an easy time of it right now, poor girl.

All best wishes to you both.

Take Care

Poor Roxy, you have been having such a tough time. Could the bleeding be from stomach ulcers, you certainly have had enough stress to give you that. Some anti
depressants can give the feeling of electric shocks in your head and body. When you get a chance do a look up on the net. You may need to change to another one.
What you are going through now will pass Roxy and there will be a time when your RA calms down and life will be good for you again. I am glad Deanna is there for you, she is a shining light and you are fortunate to have her plus the many friends you have on this board.
Do you know of an older responsible teenager who could check in & feed your animals & do a roll call - even if you have to pay them it will ease your mind to have them checked up on daily. Hope you are better soon.
Lots and lots of good wishes,Sorry to hear things are not that great right now Roxy.  Take care.

Hi Roxy

sorry to hear thing got that bad.Hope you are ok. Hope to see you post soon.Take care

Deanna; please let her know we're all very concerned and will continue to look to this thread for updates from you if she's unable to post.

I'll continue to keep her in my prayers.

YES, PLEASE LET US KNOW.!!!

WE ARE ALL PULLING FOR YOU ROXY!

GOD BLESS!

Cancelled doctor's appt. because they did not have results from my cat scan and xrays.  My ankle is not as painful but it is bruising more - still hearing chains in my head but overall feel better.  Called hospital and they will not tell me anything.  I just get a lecture on how I should never leave the hospital unless I am released.  The electric shocks come and go but seem to be less.  My aid came.  I am grateful to have her but she does not get a lot done.  She got one bathroom clean and tried to clean up the lotion EVERYWHERE from Brett throwing it at me.  Amazing how everywhere we look there is drops of lotion.  Waiting to hear from my doctor.  Office mgr says they will call when they get results.  I am taking it easy, trying to take as few pills as possible until I know what is going on.  Mental health called and they told me that since Brett left I probably will not qualify for money to care for Kelsey as I am not physically able.

Pet your animals, watch the fish swim, enjoy a movie with Kelsey and just know  everything is going to be OK.
