I went into the ER on Friday with dizziness, a burst blood vessel in my eye and numbness in my left hand and foot. Thought maybe I suddenly had high blood pressure or maybe I'd had a TIA (small stroke). They did an ECG, blood work and a CT scan. The first two came out okay, but the CT was bad news.
It turns out I have four brain tumours. FOUR! Wtf?
The ER doc thinks they look benign and I go see a neurosurgeon on Tuesday.
I've never been so scared in my life.
Does anyone here have any really positive stories they can share with me about friends or family that went through this and came out okay? I just graduated from a PSW programme (like your CNA) and am working on becoming a full-fledged nurse. I just turned 40 last month. I can't believe this is happening now.
Ironically, I did a clinical at a cancer hospice in May/June of this year. At least I know where I can go for *exceptional* care if it comes to that.
The Rx has always been a place for great support for anyone in this community who needs it ... I guess that's why I'm posting this here. I just want to curl up into a ball and hide under my bed right now, pretend this isn't happening.
Additionally, I want to say....
To all of you here that I've met, that I've befriended over the years, at the Bash(es), how blessed I have been to know you, to have your friendships. It's so easy to take people for granted and if I have I am sorry, and know that all of that changes now.
To the staff and management: I loved working here, have looong regretted leaving. It was so much fun, you were all so great to me! I hope hope hope I can be at the Bash next year!!!
(A special hug and "i love you" to quantumleap....I wish we were neighbours!! And good luck in your trading in case I have to hang it up for a while. Keep me informed!)
