Sitting in the ER treatment room, admission imminent pending availability of a room.

.
.
.
BP low, heart rate fast and somewhat irregular - this is kinda normal when I need to come
in here. Nobody seems overly worried. Maybe just a serious adjustment of my meds.
.
I've decided to go out and do a "mall walk" in the hallways with my hospital gown turned
back-to-front and if they give me any grief, I'll just say...

Don't make me bored. You wouldn't LIKE me bored.

I'm kinda resigned to tomorrow morning (my butt is already sore from this treatment table/bed).
.
.
.
I wanted to publicly acknowledge to everybody how you called an ambulance for me (after
having to wait around half the day for me to get ready for a possible extended stay -- I
wasn't moving around too well).
.
Thank you!!!
.
.
.
They've already lifted my nothing-by-mouth status, so I'll probably get a sammitch and a
coupla little tiny Diet Pepsis soon.
.
.
.
I'm HONGRY -- haven't eaten all day (I did have a few of your homegrown pecans that
you sent me for Christmas -- YUM!!!)
.
Sad. The onliest things that I smuggled in here were the rest of those pecans and a
buncha packets of Constant Comment and Lemon Zinger tea (thanks, applegrove!!! )

the more irritated I got the more I knew there was something wrong - I was close to calling one anyway!

damn I wish they could get you stable and able to function for a longer period of time!

If you only had a few pecans all day for victuals you probably had low blood sugar, along with that low BP, and fast heart rate. Low blood sugar and/or dehydration can contribute to those other symptoms.
