ITS A NEW DAY--ITS A NEW LIFE FOR ME

I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO WRITE FOR A LITTLE WHILE DUE TO A  HEALTH CRISIS. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHY I MADE THE DECISION TO MOVE HERE IN DECEMBER 2009. IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS MY PROBLEM KEPT ESCALATING; I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING. WHEN I COULDN'T EAT OR DRINK AT ALL, MY CNA AND STAFF NURSE COULD TELL THAT I WAS PROBABLY DEHYDRATED AND NEEDED HELP FOR THE PAIN I WAS EXPERIENCING. SO WITH MY PERMISSION THEY ORDERED AN AMBULANCE AND BY 8 PM I WAS IN THE ER WITH AN IV AND STARTED THE PROCESS OF TESTS. BY 3AM I WAS IN THE HEART CARE UNIT WITH ALL SORTS OF THINGS HOOKED UP. BY NOON, THE DOCTOR SAID
" YOU DO NOT NEED THIS HIGH TECH STUFF WE DO HERE." WHAT A RELIEF! MOVING RIGHT ALONG, I FOUND MYSELF BEING WHEELED INTO THE GERIATRIC ACUTE CARE UNIT. OH MY GOODNESS, AM I REALLY THIS OLD! I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE EXCEPTIONAL CARE I WAS BLESSED WITH. I WILL NEED MANY FOLLOW-UP TESTS AND MONITORING THIS YEAR, BUT ITS ALL GOOD. THAT'S RIGHT SUPPORTIVE LIVING IS THE WAY TO GO.
