Mrs. Venation by ambulance to ER

[Bertha Venation]

I can't even go back yet; I got here just after the ambulance and she's not in an exam room yet.

She was putting together a cat tree (what else?) and started feeling sick to her stomach. She sat down and chills and the shakes came on. She waited for me to get home and I gave her some Rx nausea drugs. Didn't help. She laid down for a while, then came out with a splitting headache. i called 911 and here we are.

No idea what it could be. Please keep her in your thoughts, send vibes, and if you pray, you know what to do. Thank you.

14. Big Vibes to Mrs. V.

[Bertha Venation]

15. not much of an update

She's had 2 ekg and a chest x-ray. Morphine and Zofran. Staff is excellent. Mrs. V. is scared. So am I.

[Locut0s]

24. It's going to take time which makes things all the worst, but hang in there!...

The ER can be painfully slow, especially when you are terrified about the outcome, which makes things so much worse. But hang in there and keep us up to date. The fact that they haven't done anything yet but have taken those 3 tests is probably a good sign!

[hrmjustin]

16. Sending prayers for you and your wife.

[OriginalGeek]

17. All our best to you and Mrs V.

22. Sending best wishes and thoughts to both of you...

Hope she's going to be fine...

[Locut0s]

23. Oh my I hope all is well. Don't think the worst...

Good vibes being sent!!!

It could just be exhaustion, or heat, or something along those lines. Even if it's something worse don't jump to conclusions yet. I know that's very hard to do though.

[Bertha Venation]

25. UPDATE

We are home. Tests turned up nothing; everything is normal. Pfft. If it were normal, why did she get sick?

She is feeling better. Still woozy, still a little nauseated, but better. We were sent home with a scrip for Zofran, dietary instructions, and that's it. I don't like this about ERs: unless it's something like a broken bone, they send you home without answers.

I'm taking tomorrow off so that she won't be alone. Life, please stop scaring us, please?

[ConcernedCanuk]

26. Life is scary, only if you let be

.

I've had trips to our ER here with severe symptoms of one thing or another, but they were all related to stress in my life

Stress can give you pretty much any symptom in the World.

Learned that decades ago - also learned,

many doctors ain't too smart.

Take care

be well

My vibes continue to flow in your direction...

I hope you can both get some rest.

[applegrove]

30. Glad it turned out well. Enjoy your day

together. Vibes to you both.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

36. seems like they would have suggested a follow up with a neurologist or maybe an

internist ...

Glad you are able to stay home today. Hope this was just a one time "thing"

Take care.

Did you ever finish the cat tree?

[Bertha Venation]

37. Mrs. V. is, well, stubborn.

If she feels better this morning, she will resist going to see our internist.

I agree with you, T.A. What can one do, though?

Thank you so much.

Edit: yep, finished the tree, before she got so sick that I called 911.

[AsahinaKimi]

28. good vibes and best wishes...

I was in the hospital about, what? Two weeks ago?? Its not fun.. being there. Hang in there!

[HeiressofBickworth]

31. Hope both of you have a restful night

and that everything is better in the morning.

Best wishes.

[handmade34]

32. please take care

keep a close eye on her until all is well... lots of

[life long demo]

33. Hope the Mrs. is doing better today

Have you thought about what she was putting together when she became ill?

[Bertha Venation]

38. I did think of that.

While she was resting and before it got bad enough to call 911, I completed assembling the cat tree and waited for it to make me sick. Nothin'.

Thanks, l.l.d.

[ballardgirl]

39. It could be that

she is sensitive to something in the materials and you are not. Was there carpet involved? That stuff can be bad for some folks since it often contains a lot of chemicals. You might want to put it somewhere to air out a bit just to be sure.

I hope things are back to normal today, but do keep a close eye on her.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

41. Various types of these structures...

...are built from plywood and particle board which tend to give off somewhat toxic vapors. The carpet or other soft covering may have been applied with a chemical adhesive that does the same.

I hope the Mrs is doing better.

[MrScorpio]

34. Hug and vibes, all I got

[JitterbugPerfume]

35. ((((hug))))) for you
