Deets.

Last night when the 28 YR old came home from work I was finally able to get more details about his ER adventure the night before. He said after cleaning out his closet he couldn't breathe and his chest hurt , he was getting increasingly tired and weak,and he was coughing up blood so my hubby dropped him off at the ER and it was a good thing he went too as he had aspirated fiberglass particles that had deterioriated into dust into his lungs causing fluid in his lungs and it had to be drained which was obstructing his breathing and also fluid in your lungs can cause pneumonia! When he arrived they ordered him to put on a mask and he refused as he could hardly breathe as it was and putting on a face-diaper covering up his mouth and nose he wouldn't be able to breathe at all ( he estimated he had maybe 5% oxygen as it was) so they got security over and made him......

....and the next thing he remembers is he must have passed out because he woke up with oxygen prongs up his nose, a tube down his throat and an oxygen meter clipped to his index finger(they said his oxygen sats were really low) and he wasn't even in a bed as they had run out; they had him propped up in a chair and he said he saw other people laying in the hallway on stretchers and said it was over-croweded and under-staffed and our health care system is broken( no shit; it's a half-assed Third World shithole!!) and he had fluid drained from his lungs but luckily didn't even remember it as he was "groggy" and semi-conscious most of the time which I guess was a good thing as he didn't feel anything but the good thing at least is he got seen quickly despite the crowd! So I guess if you can't breathe, have a heart-attack, stroke, are bleeding out,or get shot or stabbed,or are in a critical accident you still get seen right away.He said he's now "90% better" and just spitting up a bit of blood now. That was soooo scary though and he really had me worried. Mothers still worry and never stop even once their kids grow up. It's a life-long sentence.

Since my fall down the stairs yesterday I also hurt really bad all over and also noticed I have some skin scraped off my right elbow and with my leg I can hardly walk and I hobble and limp along slowly like Buddy and I think his spine must be hurting him again as well as his tail is curled inwards like he does with pain and despite me taking a big "hit" for him yesterday and taking the brunt of the fall so I wouldn't drop him or land on him he still sold me out for a piece of chicken! He decided to go off with my hubby for lunch instead of with me for nap, the traitor! 😂I also had this splitting, throbbing, pounding, pulsing headache all day yesterday as well and I might have had a seizure in my sleep the night before,too, as yesterday morning I woke up my lip was swollen and cut like I had bit it during my sleep and now I'm extra careful going down the stairs as well, putting both feet on one stair going down very slowly now instead of one foot on each stair like I used to, and if I could have a lifetime supply of anything I'd pick either chocolate or weed and the 28 YR old said money which is a good choice too as then you could also buy anything else you wanted.

Always walk with your back to the wind but never sit with your back facing the door.
