One year ago Tuesday~~

Tuesday was one year since one of my many, many week-long hospital stays.
It was Monday, Aug. 18, last year. I was originally supposed to have my leg canulated so I could have temporary hemo before getting a new catheter. In...Out...piece of cake...right? That's how it was supposed to be. But, something went TERRIBLY wrong in the procedure. Dr. Bozo (I don't even remember his name...after what he did to me, he was Dr. Bozo, as far as we were concerned) managed to rupture one of the arteries in my groin, where he was working. Next thing I knew, I was in the hospital for a whole damn week, just because he injured me!!! Well DUUUUUUUHHHH...he should've thought of that before he started cutting my leg open without sedating me first!!!!!! DUUUUUUUUUHHHHH...
But then, things like that happen in Cleveland all the time!!
I'm sooooooooo glad I'm back in San Diego!!! Sharp Memorial Hospital might actually have a transplant in store for me before 5 years is up!!! Even before 3 years is up!!! Because they're smart, like most Californians!!!
Now how do I remember this so well??? Well...if a doctor went and cut one of your arteries, wouldn't you remember???? I mean...I was on Coumadin for three months because of that buffoon!!! Kind of unforgettable.
Also, because my kitties' birthday was in 10 days from when I ended up "in the pit".
Happy Birthday (next week) to my three wonderful kitties!!
I'll be flying up to Cleveland to visit my little angels... That's about all I can stand of Cleveland, is the frequent visit, to see my kitties. So, I'll fly there...and God, I hope like anything that I am too busy to be online much like I was when I lived there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then, I'll be back after about a week.
Relax! I'm not leaving here till Aug. 29th. Then, back after a week, so I can be re-trained to use the "PD" Moonster.
Well...time for our late-night walk.
Ta-taaaaaaaaa, for now!
Love ya!
(poof)

So, can a person get over this on their own?????

So here I am...still dehydrated, and never really able to drink enough to pull myself out of it.
Here's how that's progressed.
When I stand up, or sit up, I get so dizzy that, yesterday at one point, I almost passed out.
My blood pressure today was only 70/52...after having gone up a little, then back down. In a nutshell, I'm "not dead yet"...but for how much longer???
When outside, everything of light color blinds the hell outta me!
And I cramp...everything from jaw cramps, to paw cramps.
Is it possible for a person to get over that without having to go to the ER and get rehydrated intravenously????
God, I hope so!!!!
But, after a while here, I'm gonna have to take a kitty nap, because this is also giving me a splitting headache.
Love ya!!
Later!!
